I want to get into TTRPGs (Cyberpunk 2020, DnD,etc.), but I’m completely clueless as how to navigate the topic.

  • I know I have to find a group of people to play with

  • I don’t have any minis, dice, free table for playing…, would I need to get anything of that? Could Google dices do the trick?

  • How is it played? What is the cycle of a one-shot/adventure/campaign? How does the role-playing happen, taking turns between DM and players? Do the players tell an action their character is doing and the DM says wether it’s allowed, wether they have to roll dice, or tells them what happens next?

    There are lots of decent actual plays on YouTube that can give you a very solid idea of how it actually works in practice. My personal favourite style is the glass cannon network as they tend to lean towards how your home game might be (ie it’s not all serious and there’s goofing off during the game) but I’m sure people have specific recommendations for cyberpunk and dungeons and dragons
