You might want to check if there are any gaming stores in the area, since they can often help get you in touch with other players. Who knows, we may have some Rhode Island folks on here who can steer you in the right direction.

D&D is a lot easier to learn by playing than by reading the books. Heck, I started playing 25 years ago and *I* still haven't sat down and read all of the 3.5 players handbook.

I'm in Providence, but my group is over twice your age. There aren't many local gaming stores, and most of those deal mainly in Warhammer and Magic Cards. Depending on where you are in the state you can try Your Move Games in North Providence, a store who's name I can't remember in the Lincoln Mall, or Sarge's Comics in New London CT. Any of those places *might* have a bulletin board for gamers. I'm not sure offhand.

Your best bet might be to try to form some kind of D&D club or Fantasy Gaming Club at your school. I'm sure if you ask what it takes to start a club your principal would be happy to point you in the right direction. Most school officials are pretty psyched when any kid shows an interest in anything. Then you can hang fliers around the school, hopefully get a room to use after-school (though you'll probably have to find a teacher willing to be an advisor to the group) and will avoid problems related to scheduling and transportation. Heck, if you get six kids together and none of you know how to play yet, just dive in and do your best.

There is a DUMMIES book on D and D that might be easier.

Hey I am from RI as well but again twice your age. I would checkout Forgotten heros gaming store in johnston, ri. Its kind of tough to find. They have running games there every friday. The one in lincoln mall I think its called Gamers sanctuary or something stupid like that.
