So the only game ive played was dnd and its hard finding a group for some reason and i dont really like that online stuff. so i like dnd but i have no-one to play with that i know and dnd can be complex at time.

is there by chance a free rpg tabletop game that is great for solo beginners who want to play more rpg's and such? i just feel like i need something besides computer games to play/do.

Re: online, I agree it's not as good, but I encourage you to try to at least get some experience. Still fun. If you really can't stand Discord-type voice chat for some reason, there are still places that do play by forum. You'd have to search. You can also consider going to a convention tho ask someone how do you get a session seat (because GM shortage).

RPG folks tend to be friendly (more often than not...) and the more people you meet, the more chance you have of finding a group eventually if this is what you want.

Anyway, for solo I recommend Me Myself And Die and Geek Gamers as good sources of inspiration on YouTube. 3rd season MMAD features Dominion system which is free, but you have to add some special solo rules to it. You can search the GG channel for advice on homebrewing those. If you go solo there's even less reason for adapting to D&D monoculture.
