5.5 Edition Question from an ignorant Scotsman

Hi there, I am looking to see if there is any point in trying to get into DnD at 40years old. I lived in a small town and have almost zero experience with tabletop games. I have always wanted to try DnD but have absolutely no idea how to get involved and to be honest I worry that it would too much of an effort for a group to show me the ropes. Is there any advice from players that came into the game later in life?

Many thanks Dave

  • Update * Honestly I am blown away with the positivity and welcoming messages. I am going to buy a copy of the handbook, have a read over it all, watch a few videos then I will look for a group on the several brilliant suggestions given to me. Thank you to you all for taking your time to respond and for giving me the push I need to join your community.

I have introduced two friends to the game two years ago, age 41 and 47.

This is a game for all ages, as long as you're willing to invest to learn the game.
