jfporter,
Welcome aboard!
How many guys do you have in your fantasy league? If you have close to 6 or 12 (or even 24), you should definitely set it up as a private league with a password. The problem with setting it up as a public league is that others in this community might jump in before you guys are all in, and someone might get shut out.
If, for example, you have 10 guys from fantasy baseball, set up a 12-team league. (Considering you guys are missing current fantasy baseball, I assume you will go with the 2019 season set.) Anyway, once the 10 of you are in the league, you can then post the password on the message boards here, saying that there is a new league of beginners with two spots open. You should definitely point out that you are beginners to online Strat-O-Matic. Even though you played it as a kid (like a lot of us) and even though you play fantasy baseball (like a lot of us), there is a learning curve for this game so it's best to play among other beginners.
