Played a bit years ago for about 6 months in person, have never played online. Starting with a player from scratch; built one on D20 as it seemed like it would be the simplest and tried to join a few games - their d20 or discord servers have absolutely oceans of varied rules and restrictions to dig through and many want you to roll up a character for their specific game within certain rules. I’m sure their rules and restrictions are in place for a good reason, many of them I don’t even understand, but for someone just trying to get a basic character going for a basic story to get into the swing of D&D are there better places to look for us simple folks who are trying to learn/remember as much how to play and need things kept relatively simple at this point?
Here’s a server invite for a discord dedicated mostly to new players and helping players make groups together. They also offer free classes on various things from the basics to more advanced things.
Also as a disclaimer, this is not my server nor am I affiliated with it at all. I just really enjoy what the people over there do.

Thank you very much, appreciate the lead, I’ll check it out!
