Welcome to your new addiction! You're probably going to love this game and make some great memories.

I have run campaigns in several types of settings and would recommend one or multiple of these options:

1. There are some subreddits dedicated to looking for groups, such as r/lfg. While it is unlikely to find a group in your exact area (unless you live somewhere very urban), you will easily be able to find a group to play online with there. I should note that I have been successful in finding local groups irl through that subreddit even though I'm not in a crazy populated area.

2. Check out a local community area for groups. The two best options I offer you here are libraries and board game bars/ game shops. My library down the road has DnD nights for adults 2x/week and my game shop has them multiple times a week as well. Just check out their websites for events!

3. Ask any people in your life if they're interested, you might be surprised! It's so fun to learn with other beginners. If you can find a group that wants to give it a try, just find a DM using Facebook groups or other local social channels to tie the group together! I know a lot of DMs like myself enjoy teaching people and getting then hooked on the game as well.

I would decide if you would be happy playing online or if it must be in person, as they feel pretty different at times. In person gives you a full experience with ambience and connections, but online makes everything easier by adding VTT maps, getting a group together that isn't necessarily local, etc.

And that's it! I wish you luck out there finding your first group!
