I have some experience with games like Baldurs Gate or Divinity, but now i want to get into Tabletop DnD, but i have no clue where to start. I tried to get the starter pack from Wizards, but the newsletter sign up seems to be broken. Where can i find groups? Tips for character creation? Thanks you

I don't like thinking of individuals as simply "good/bad". Some people grow frustrated with trying to engage creatively without specifics, others grow frustrated with overly narrow roles, still others get upset if everyone just builds what they want with no regard to team balance.

It really depends on the individuals involved whether people are going to get salty over unstated expectations. Setting vibes, expectations, and integrating characters with the setting are all worth doing, and for many players they need to be done in advance in order for them to feel included.
