Well Alaundo as Im new here, it pays to be cautious, learned the hard way on a number of occasions not to upset the natives!!
Drummerboy,
This site is the official Dungeons & Dragons site, never found a virus there yet  So get hold of a good virus checker, and head to http://www.wizards.com/dnd/main.asp?x=dnd/welcome,3 there is a wealth of information for you to look at and to download.
With regards to your main question, I think you might be better finding some people who are already playing, that way you can slowly learn out to play and you have someone experienced to help you out!! (of course you have all these fine folks on this forum to help you)
Starting out by yourself, and with people who haven't played the game before can be really tough. I was in the same situation when I first started, it was only when I managed to find a group that was playing AD&D did I realise what to do and how truly how to play!! Im sure a lot of us here would agree with that!
Check local hobby stores usually they have a notice board where you can leave messages saying you're new to the game and need to find a group. Any DM worth his(or her) salt would welcome a new fresh player to his (or her) group. When I recruited a few novice players in my group it really changed the feel of my campaign. A fresh outlook and new ideas, often made up for the lack of experience!!
Any way I wish you luck, maybe you can get in on one of the PBEM games that are being run, that might be a start!! |

Rellen Amositirren,
Thanks for your help. I decided to download that FastPlay game after all so as soon as its done downloading I'm going to try it out. I think I trust the WoTC website so I'm going to look at it some more later.
Well, I don't know anyone with any Dungeons & Dragons or Forgotten Realms experience beyond my own, so I guess I'll just join a PBEM or go see if there is a notice board at the hobby store I go to.
Thanks again for your help. |

Drummerboy465, you can find DnD books about any book and game stores.
But if you have any additional questions about the topic just ask, I know a fair amount of information about it. I own the majority of FR books and alot of the really old books. |
We live in a bleak world my friend, where heroes are few and shadows stalk us around every corner.

Well, I've looked at bookstores and found that some of them only carry novels, and the hobby store I went to had some D&D stuff, but not a good variety of FR material, so I've been mainly ordering books off the internet at Amazon.com. They have a good selection and it's nice to have it delivered to my house, so I think I'm going to continue to order from there.
Well, thanks for your offer. I'll let you know if I need to know anything. |
