Yeah of course.
though i dunno a thing about tabletops except the DnD movie
The movie was quite fun! And it gave a good idea of a fun rpg session, but I prefer other game systems rather than DnD to have that kind of feeling!
Have you ever thought about trying ttrpgs?
Yeah but I wouldn't know what the fuck to do, and I'd feel a bit cringy with what kind of roleplaying I need to do.
I understand. Just keep in mind that you don't need to "do the voices" or to treat it like an "improv theatre", a perfectly fine way to play is to refer to your character in third person: "so and so knocks quietly on the door and asks "is anybody in there?" Before kicking the door open with a roaring laughter"... And another player could sigh in first person, rolling her eyes: "oh no! Not again!".
As for knowing what to do, that's the job of the GM, to set up interesting scenes for the table!
So do I. But trying out DnD with a group of friends has been super fun. We were lucky to have one person who has played it for over 10 years who was able to DM for us. Try not to be a DM on your first sessions, find someone experienced, and you won't feel that cringe you're talking about.
