Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I haven't played DnD in decades, so I'm unfamiliar with the scene nowadays. How are these visuals presented for the players? Does everyone have a screen? Or this more for an online scenario?
I play every week in person with a group of friends. But rather than playing with paper and pens and tabletop maps or whatever we use roll20 a free online DnD platform. It lets everyone see the map, characters, character sheets, notes, logs etc on a laptop or tablet. It's a bit clunky at times, but generally speaking its great.
How would a random person on the Internet, with no previous experience or friends that play, join an online d&d game?
Roll20 actually has a list of public games on their platform looking for players. You could check out there.
