I have some experience with games like Baldurs Gate or Divinity, but now i want to get into Tabletop DnD, but i have no clue where to start. I tried to get the starter pack from Wizards, but the newsletter sign up seems to be broken. Where can i find groups? Tips for character creation? Thanks you
I disagree with your disagreement. Sure, if you already know your party and everyone is experienced, you can skip it, but if you start as a new player group, it is well invested time, that should be used to get to know each other and lineup expectatios.
These things should be part of in-game experience.
Sitting there and discussing stuff rather than doing it, is a waste of time.
