I have always wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons, it just seems like the kind of geeky thing I'd enjoy, sadly 1) the game doesn't seem to be popular here, and 2) it's a group activity so one have to coincide with others interested in playing.

@maxalmonte14 coincidentally, they are celebrating their 50th year. So I bought their new edition for the Players Handbook (and plan to buy the other two tomes when they come out).
Incredible artwork and writing so inspiring. Although I got it for inspiration for my own thing.
As others said, lots of online tools to try!

@leroy yeah, as I see it I have two options 1) starting my own D&D group here, or 2) connecting with some folks and playing online. I'm not averse to option 1 but it'll definitely require to put in a lot of work. I guess I'll start with option 2 and if things go smoothly I'll try to start a local group.

@maxalmonte14 there are some single session RPGs that are far less investment in initial time e.g. Fiasco there is no pre-planning required or significant reading of rules.
It might be a way to get an easier teaser of RPGs, before jumping headlong into massive books of D&D and session planning.
Totally understand the apprehension. I also don’t play D&D because of the massive time investment, instead I design small games with my own rules for similar experiences.

@leroy thanks man, I appreciate the advice, I'll try some simpler TTRPGs before checking D&D.
