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:

    CR is a good entertainment product and a bad game of DnD. There are some tables, maybe 1 out of every 20, where there is both an expected vibe of "take this very much in character" and the players and GM are good enough at that to make it worth the added stress. Most people will never play at one of those tables, and with every CR fan I've taken up into one of my groups we've had to get through the mental block of "you are not playing Critical Role" for them to actually get into the game and have fun.
