Resolved Question

Well normally you play the game with a few friends and one of them is an experienced dungeon master. Without that guy, you can't play or at least you won't be playing properly. There are so many rules and information that you have to learn to lead a campaign and one normally learns this from another DM. Check with your friends and see if any of them are up to rolling a campaign. After that, take a couple weeks or so to really learn the material... If you don't have any friends that are into this kind of stuff, you can look in your neighborhood or nearest privately owned gaming store where they sell the books and ask if the have rolling nights and explain that you would like to learn and participate in the game. Also, check out your local colleges and see if they have any gaming teams. I myself am close to VCU in Richmond and they have their own club for this that meets once a week to roll dice. The hard part is finding another person that is into it, but once you do your set! Good luck to you and let me know if you have any detailed questions (If you can't tell, I am a huge D&D geek).
