Newcomer looking for a learning game.

Hi everyone!
I'm a newcomer to RPG's, so far only played a pair of 5E and Pathfinder sessions. Started reading about the OSR, and decided that i want to try it. Downloaded the free versions of LL from the site and i loved the simple approach of the old-school movement.
Sadly, i hadn't find a game of LL where to play at. tried my luck at roll20 without success, and learned about the Play-by-Post forums.

Basically, i'm interested on joning a game as a newcomer to LL. could be PbP, Roll20, etc. I'm more comfortable to text-based than voice or videochat.

Hi Ferlitio, welcome!

If you are interested in play by post (PBP) there are several (2-3) active games on this forum. Look at the PBP forums lower on the list. Take a look at the games and if they perk your interest contact the GM and see if you can get a spot ( the active games will have recently dated posts). Another good place to look for PBP gaming is the Unseen Servant forums. Good luck.

Welcome, Ferlitio! It's great to see a fellow gamer take an interest in the OSR.

Spanningtree summed up everything you need to know. While I just started a DM sabbatical after a four-year campaign, I might be persuaded to run a one-off adventure for beginning level characters. Perhaps a few others might join as well. See if any existing games pique your interest first, however.
