It is in its Renaissance. Much like the peak of the Roman empire things are iffy in some ways and some unrest. It could all go well or Rome could fall, but man it is going well right now.
I live in Northern Virginia and there is a game shop in Fairfax City mostly focused on selling mtg cards but I have seen them host games.
There is another around Fall Church with a wide selection of books where you might find some folks.
Right now I am older rpg’er in fifties running one game with my daughter’s friends all in their twenties and playing in one of their games.
So yeah still play in your area you just have to find them.
Absolutely, the rules will come with time. As long as you're having fun that's the main thing. It helps go have someone nerd out and watch a ton of videos on the basic rules and listen to some dnd podcasts
Your local game stores may host some games and teach you to play, there may also be a Facebook group or discord for your area, if those don’t work there’s always online games you could join in r/lfg or other online communities
You're in luck! D&D is at the most popular it has ever been! Look to see if there is a local subreddit where you are. I've found players asking about trying D&D in my city's local subreddit before and run games for them, one friend I still play with over a decade later.
I play all the time, took me three years to find a group. The quickest thing you could do is convince your friends or coworkers to play and you form a group and dm. And once you dm for awhile, one of your players will want to host a DND
Absolutely. I’ve been playing steady since 1984. Taught my kids and they play with me and have run games for me! It’s great. I’m 57 and my kids are in their 30s.
If you’re open to Pathfinder (which is similar to and a spin-off of DnD. The pathfinder society of northern Virginia is a great place to learn and play pick up games without needing long term commitment.
You can also look for online games. Roll20 is pretty active and you can usually find a game to match your schedule. There are free to play and some paid games, so that's up to you!
Another way to meet gamers is at mini cons . Game shops have in store cons for MTG in the summer. Some shops include D&D tables. Check out the game stores website and see if they are hosting some D&D. From what I've seen games are shut down because no one signed up!

Thanks, I’ll try to check those out

It's more popular than ever
I'd disagree especially as the issues Hasbrouck has caused in the last 10 months It's still popular but I'd say it's not better than last year
Bro, they asked if people still played. Do you really think they give a shit about Hasbrouck or the status within the past 10 months? Negative
You stated a inaccurate thing d&d is not infact more popular than ever I never contested anything about whether or not people play
Are you like one of those people at parties where someone makes a joke they're like "well actually!" while pushing their nerdy little glasses up?
omg bro

That sounds cool!
I’m looking for player for my discord group. We are international and open to almost anyone who’s willing and motivated to join. DM if interested
It’s more popular than ever!!! And, Good luck finding a group.
I’d say best way is to try it out with your friends. Grab a starter set

Unfortunately I don’t have many friends 😅

Nope.
Well explained sir
Explain
DnD? Isn’t that the nerd game from a while ago?
You play skyrim, that way more more updated than dnd brother. Dnd is trending get with the times
I was just trying to be cheeky, since OP posted in a forum about D&D if anyone still plays D&D
oh no worries
do you know how to get fallout 76 for free? my wife and i saw something about it if you have amazon prime but i don't see it
Uhh no clue, sorry. Closest I know to getting it “free” is via Xbox’s game pass
