Hey Dylan - Welcome!
Wow, if that's your picture, you ARE new to the biz!!!
Sounds like you've got a realistic outlook and some solid goals. The acting and improv will serve you well, that's for certain.
Take a peek around - lots of questions have been posted and answered. And if you can't find it, feel free to ask. Lot's of helpful folks around here ;-)
I'm an olde schoole AD+D person myself. Haven't played in decades (sheesh!). Just this week I found my old books in the garage - wonder if they're worth $$$ on e-bay?
Anywho, nice to meet you, and I hope we hear lots more from you on the forums.
