First off, my apologies to the moderators if this is the wrong place for my post. It seemed most likely, since the forum is for game recruitment. If this is inappropriate here, feel free to delete or move it.
I'm completely new to D&D. I'm a dedicated - though not very experienced - roleplayer, and I've been interested in trying to start a game of pen-and-paper D&D for a while. I've never been able to get enough people interested, though, so when I stumbled across the play by post forum here it seemed like a pretty good alternative.
Just to be clear, I have no experience with D&D at all, though I've played a few computer games based on similar systems (think KOTOR) - for example, it took me a fair number of tries to answer the anti-spam question when I created an account here.
So what I wanted to know is if there are any play by post games here that accept or are aimed at teaching new players. Or is it not complicated enough to prevent me just joining a normal game? Or, or the other hand, is it so confusing I should find someplace to learn the rules before I even try playing here?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
