I always say: new players should have a seasoned DM, new DMs should have seasoned players (preferably with DM experience) XD

It's totally fine if a group of people who never played just start though.

First time GM with first time players. That's how I think most groups started before online play became so common.

The good thing about TTRPGs is that even in that scenario, they are still great fun.

That's how my first D&D group started and we're still playing together 8 years later =)

45 years for me. Greyhawk and Blackmoor supplements were new. OD&D before there was an O. Yes, I'm over 60.

Definitely how I started, and there is definitely something to be said about playing a game where nobody knows what's going on, as long as everyone understands that's going to be the state of things and are willing to work together. Whenever something came up we weren't sure about we'd ALL dive on the rule books, not just the GM.
