        there are actually lots of groups that attempt to rectify this exact problem.

        Pathfinder is a tabletop RPG that has a large following and focuses on the ability to jump in and out of groups and games.

        Find your nearest game store and see what hobbies show up there. There might be a Warhammer group, DnD, starwars miniatures, magic, or maybe just random board games.

        Most game shops host some games that are open to people signing up.

        At one of my local stores, they specifically have the “D&D Adventure League” once a week. It does have a $5 entry fee.

      I woald advise other RPG than D&D, too many beginner look for D&D and nothing else, while tons of GM struggle to find player for non D&D games, as usual look for a club/meetup/shop near you

        DND is tricky to recommend. On the one hand, as far as RPGs go it’s mega popular. On the other, it’s a very specific kind of game and rather finicky.

        Many people who don’t want to play fantasy dungeon crawling tactical combat would enjoy other genres, but finding those groups can be harder. One of my friends has no real interest in fantasy, but immediately was like “LET’S DO IT” when I mentioned a game of Vampire.
