So I have never played D&D before, but after reading some of the scenarios (or whatever they are called) I am quite interested. The thing is, I don't know where to go about finding people who want to play D&D with me. My friends aren't interested in it, and none of the searches that I have done online for groups that play D&D in Las Vegas have yielded any results. Anyone know where I should look? Also, is there an online version of D&D (I'm not talking about the MMO one that was released a while back, I'm talking text based)?
Thanks.
Socialism is the concrete foundation of America. Capitalism is the flimsy tin shack that sits upon it.
It is a problem that I am 16, though? The registration on that site says that I have to be 18 years or older, so do you think that the other people in that group will mind if I'm underage?

Honestly, you're probably better off looking for a group at your high school. If there's not a formal after school organization, there's probably a group of enthusiasts that have a reputation for being "those geeks that play DND".
Although a lot of the brick and mortar shops around here have closed, you might have some luck checking out Kool Kollectables or Hobbytown USA. There's usually a board of interested groups or you might ask the clerks if they know of anyone looking for new players.
As for online play, there's usually quite a few play by post and IRC games run here, on the Of Dice and Men forum.
Your Friendly Local Game Store will usually have some kind of board where people can post group requests and new player openings.
As far as learning how to play, I learned when I joined the RPGA. I don't know if they're still around, though.
If you find a group interested in taking you on, buy the pizza or snacks your first night to thank the group for letting you on. Bring your own pencils, dice, and spare blank character sheets, and wait for the DM to stop talking if you need to ask something.
Oh, and make sure to wash the DM's car! That's worth a free level.

From what I can see, there's a ~90 member group that you can join here: http://dnd.meetup.com/858/
Ah, thank you very much.
