I play 3.5 with some guys at Uni.

Well, I did play, until the DM sort of forgot that he was running a campaign.

And I still want someone to get me the information for Artificer...

If you were trying to start your own group you would need the three core books:
Player's Handbook
Dungeon Masters Guide
Monster Manual
some dice (not just six-sided but 4- 8- 10- and 20-sided)
pen & paper
some like-minded friends

Figure on spending about $100 or so to start from scratch. If you really get into the hobby with miniatures, extra books, and accessories you can spend as much as your budget allows.

The latest version is 4.0, just recently released, I think most people are playing 3.5 right now, but a lot will likely transition to 4.0. You could look for used 3.5 version if you want to save some money.

I never recommend trying to learn to play from scratch. Those three books have a lot of rules to learn and trying to read an play is often confusing and might spoil the game for you.

I recommend if at all possible find a group that knows how to play and join them, even if just for a game or two. There are a lot of players out there that are willing to teach the game to new players. Try looking for RPGA sponsored games (http://www.rpga.com) at your local game store. The other advantage is that they will have all the books, dice, miniatures you will need to get started.

As for classes, the core books have: barbarians, bards, clerics, druids, fighters, rogues, sorcerers, and wizards. For 3.5 there are a lot of extra books already out there that have more classes but those are the base classes. Starting out you should just worry about the base classes and base books.

I would get me some dugeons and dragons, except no one would like to join in with me based on those crappy stereotypes. D:

If Wizards would release the D&D online game table, i'd play with you.

That's never being released just so you know.

Used to be a thing for online D&D on BYOND I dunno if its still there or not

[Digmaster]

Played it once. Don't know if its the group I was with or something, but it was boring, confusing, and not fun. Ditched it after a bit to play morrowind. <3 Morrowind and Oblivion.
