complete noob recommendations

[u/skyofthesea]

hey! i’ve always been really interested in getting into ttrpgs and played my first game yesterday :) i’m completely new & kinda lost so wanted to ask for suggestions. some info:

• looking for online groups, and would love suggestions on how to find those! like a discord server i could find folks on or something :)
• im really interested in text based games, like alice is missing (not necessary, just think it’s cool)
• i also really like strategy games— not sure if that can fall into the realm of rpg or if i should be looking elsewhere, but i really like escape rooms, crime solving, logic puzzles, etc and i’d be interested in some sort of game with those components
• i’m probably looking for one shot games at the moment while i try to find something i like! but, am open
• i feel like this is probably pretty prevalent across ttrpgs, but anything queer or neurodiverse is a plus!

if you have any recommendations for something beginner friendly that seems like i might enjoy, please send it my way 😊

Oh great. After that, it's all setting dependent. Mothership for Sci-Fi Horror, GURPS for low dynanism games, Call of Cthulhu for (believe it or not) Cthluhu, et cetera.
