I never played D&D but i want to get into it so im going

Try to have fun. If something hinders your fun, try to amend the issue.

>>53555131
Don't play it. D&D is a shitty meme game better suited for retarded 'lol i rolled le ebin natshural 20, lol so random xd' comedy games than anything even vaguely approaching a deep, immersive role-play experience.

>Any tips on D&D?
Watch youtube videos on what NOT to do.
Unless it's an ERP, then it doesn't matter. Just have a safeword.

-Don't let any girls in the group
-Try to make a character with a dark backstory (the darker the better, no limit)
-Rules are a suggestion, don't let low rolls prevent you from criting and creating an epic moment when applicable
-Don't take any shit from other PC's, if someone annoys you kill them.
-Try to get as much of the loot as possible, even if it doesn't help you right now take it anyways, it could very well be useful to you in the future.

You'll never give up, will you?

Grab the 5e starter set. That's really all you need to get started.
Also, http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop/players-basic-rules

Read the rules before showing up. Most people don't mind n00b5 who don't know to check for traps until they're hit by one, everybody minds that dumbass who doesn't know how to roll to hit.

First off, don't listen to this douchebag.

>Read the rulebooks, know the rules.
>Don't just play yourself, play someone different.
>Be polite and friendly both in-game and outside the game.
>Cooperate with your fellow players; don't backstab them or kill them. It's a cooperative game of Players vs Monsters, not PvP.

Generally, stay away from 3rd/3.5 edition and Pathfinder and you should be fine.

As much as the "D&D is shit" meme goes around, 3.PF is really the only actually garbage one.

>>53555131
Have fun, try not to catch Main Character Syndrome and help your fellow players and GM have fun in a non-disruptive way.

>>53555210
Have you tried playing with a GM that wasn't utter shit? I find that tends to help with having fun regardless of system.

These ladies only started playing a year and a half ago and are already at a professional level and being flown out by Wizards to be filmed playing with the best.

You can learn a lot from them.

>professional level

What does that mean? Making a build that is better than others isn't hard, which isn't really the point anyway, and D&D is primarily a game of chance.

>>53555131
Make sure to have acceptable hygiene.

It means you get paid for it.
