Hey there, everyone. I am new to many things including Obsidian Portal, D&D and in general tabletop RPGs. I had my first run in with D&D 3.5 about a month ago and i absolutely loved it. The only problem i had was that the people i had it with don't meet regularly and thus my thirst to play D&D and other table-top RPGs has gone unquenched.
I hope that being here will help me in finding a group of people that regularly meet and i will be able to enjoy the games and the forum!!!
I live in Greensboro, North Carolina. Maybe that's why i can't find many people?

If you have any questions about any thing gaming related, feel free to ask, as Arsheesh mentioned, we're a very friendly bunch, and love to help out around here!
Lots of good people and resources here, ad if nothing else I'm sure you find a forum based game.

Indeed, welcome aboard!
In addition to the suggestions offered, I'll add checking out stuff like Meetup.com and Yahoo Groups to search for other gamers in your area, as well as gaming forums like RPGnet, ENWorld, and so on.
Good luck with finding a more regular outlet to scratch your itch.

Glad to have you aboard!
Welcome to the Forum. It seems you already have more links than I can think of so I hope you find a game soon. (I'm sure Greensboro, North Carolina can't be THAT isolated!)

I see two D&D campaigns seeking players on the Games Nearby map that look to be within driving distance from Greensboro:
"The Ruins of Thogirn":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dungeon-crawl
and
"Twin Kingdoms":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/twin-kingdoms
These are both 4E games, but that shouldn't matter, honestly. In the words of a wise DM from my past, "We don't play rules, we play games."
However, if neither of these work out for you, I can recommend a few ideas to find a local game.
1) Go to any Barnes and Noble, Borders, or other such book store and hang out for an hour or so in the D&D book area. At some point, a few other people are likely to come by and start flipping through the books. Strike up a conversation! Even if you don't wind up in a game, you may wind up meeting a few local people who can lead you in the right direction.
2) There are two Games Workshops near you: DP Hobby and Hobbytown USA. These places sometimes have bulletin boards where locals can leave invites to play in campaigns.
It may take a while for you to meet enough people and get into a game. However, in the mean time, you can probably find a PbP or chat-based game online. Also, consider trying out Dungeons and Dragons Online, as it is free to play and uses official D&D rules, which should help to further familiarize yourself with the intricacies of D&D.
Heck, I might even consider downloading DDO myself.
Good luck, Miguel! If I can be of any further assistance, just let me know!
