Which D&D App Should You Start With?
If you're brand new to D&D, start with the D&D Starter Set (physical) and D&D Beyond (digital) to learn the rules. Then use Dungeons NOT Dating to find your group, and Roll20 or Discord to play together online.
If you already know how to play and just need a group, Dungeons NOT Dating is the most targeted option — it matches you specifically with players who fit your playstyle and schedule, rather than posting in a general LFG forum and hoping for the best.
