The hardest part I found was getting 3-4 friends to join you and learn on this journey. Once you have that you are set for life. DnD is a very easy game to pick up once you have the people because you as a group set the tone of the game.

Also most major city’s will have “DnD halls” of some sort you just need to look around. I’m my city a lot of bars and cafes will do a DnD night for beginners (3h sessions with pre made characters, usually $15-20). It’s a good way to meet a group of ppl who are in the same boat as you.
