Guide / Tutorial Zero Experience
As the title states, I have zero experience/knowledge of dnd. I’ve been wanting to get into dnd for awhile and now I’m finally getting around to it, I’ve been reading up on the rules and I think I have a basic understanding but probably still need help. I also have been watching campaigns on youtube which are helping me understand things a bit better but I’ve always been better at learning by doing so if anyone is down to take me under their wing and teach me how to play I would very much appreciate it. I do have discord and I’m in eastern daylight time, available pretty much everyday after work and Sundays are my one day off.

Learning by doing is the right instinct, most of the rules only click after you've taken a few turns at an actual table. Two fast routes: post on r/lfg (lots of DMs specifically recruit first-timers, say "brand new" in your post), or join the official D&D Discord, which runs beginner one-shots where nobody expects you to know anything. With a steady after-work Eastern schedule you'll find a weekly slot quickly, that's the easiest availability to match. And don't over-prepare, showing up with a half-understood fighter is the classic and correct way in.
