[blockquote]Join a game. The simplest, best, and easiest way to get started is to join an existing group. If you are less socially apt than average, this can seem daunting.
* Does your place of work or study have a "recreation and hobbies" email folder? Look there.
* Post a note on the cork board. "New player looking for a D&D game" should do it. Don't forget your contact details.
* Leave some D&D paraphernalia lying about your workspace. You will want to purchase a set of D&D die anyway. The 20-sided die are iconic - anyone who plays will know what they are for.
Make contact. Sorry, socially inept people, but there is no way around this. You must email, phone and/or meet the person hosting the group, and ask to join the game.
Show up on game night. Once again - there's no way around this. You must drag your sorry socially inept person along to the home of a total stranger, and knock on the door. Just be brave.[/blockquote]
No way around it? I know one! but it kinda involves not playing

Manchmal in der Nacht hab ich phantastische Träume. Aber wenn ish aufwach, quält mich die Angst.
Manchmal in der Nacht bin ich so hilflos und wünsch mir, es käm einer, der mich führt und beschützt.
