Hey, looking to join a Vampire game.

This is totally new to me but if a group is willing to help me dive into the WoD that would be amazing.

My copy of the VtM5 rule book arrived this morning and I'm starting to read through that.

Any recommendations on getting started and creating a character would be greatly appreciated. I've also been watching L.A by Night which has made me want to play and get involved even more than before.
