I recently got invited to a DnD group at my work and while I'm excited, I'm also extremely nervous. Never played any TTRPG, never roleplayed, never was in theatre or anything. So, I'm kinda lost as to how I get started with this aspect of the game. I've watched some TTRPG shows (though none of them were DnD), would that be a good place to start to get an idea of what to expect?

Thank :blob-help:

    For you and everyone else that wants free access to sourcebooks, or just digital access to stuff they already have in print like me, 5e.tools is the website

    And as an answer to your question, there's a lot to learn about how D&D functions, but I think a good start would be to just get on a voice call with your DM or an experienced player, and just start filling out your character sheet. This way you can talk about numbers and game systems with the context of something you can grasp
