Finished my first ever campaign of DnD yesterday–Tomb of Annihilation. We even survived after completing the objective and, more importantly, had a ton of fun while exploring the module and solving or bypassing the many puzzles in it.

So I wanted to give a bit of advice to people who thought of playing DnD but think it's too hard or expensive. Obviously, all that's below is my opinion, and if you think of adopting the hobby, you should consider watching a few games on YouTube or listening to more people who have just started out.

Option number zero is probably unavailable to you, but it's still worth mentioning. If your friends or acquaintances play, simply ask them if you can join. Normally, role-players are happy to help out people trying DnD or other tabletops.
