Hi WASPY,

A word of advice: Be more specific with what you are looking for. You should try following the advice for formatting a looking for group post in the lfg forum template thread (linked below). You will have much better luck finding a game if you indicate what system(s) you are interested in (e.g., d&d 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Savage Worlds, etc.) and when you are available to play (if you are completely free then say so, but probably list a few options as preference). In general, if you follow the LFG posting template you will give other players and potential DMs a lot more information that will help them figure out if they have similar interests or if you may fit with their group. All that said, you will find that there are many more players looking to join a game than there are DMs and typically DMs will post their own looking for player (LFP) threads. It may take a while to get into a game but you shouldn't rely an a DM coming across your LFG post. Posting an LFG is good, but you should also be frequenting the forum and replying to LFP posts that meet your criteria for games.

Additionally, you may want to look at Fantasy Ground College (I have never interacted with them personally, but they are well regarded for introducing new folks to Fantasy Grounds and/or popular game systems. Check them out here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40020-Join-Fantasy-Grounds-College-Learn-Fantasy-Grounds-learn-D-amp-D-and-then-play!

And one more thing: You may want to look at the one-shots sub forum to find a single session game that may help introduce you to the FG platform and/or a game system. That said the one-shot sub-forum is not usually super active (though with the whole COVID-19 events it seems to be a little more active than normal). Find the sub-forum here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?100-One-Shot-Games

Finally, feel free to send me a message if you have any specific questions and good luck finding the right game and group for you.
