I was wondering how the wider RPG community found games nowadays. Do you reach out to your non-RPG friends? Go to your FLGS? Use online RPG groups? Something else?

Thanks for the response! As a follow up, do you mostly stick with dnd or do you sometimes branch out to other systems?

I just play D&D mostly because it's popular, I know it, and I like the way the mechanics work. That being said I'm not strictly opposed to other systems (though I'm not really interested in PF2E as I've looked at it and think it's mostly just a clunkier and jankier modification to the core mechanics of 5e that many people no doubt think is better just because it's needlessly complex for the sake of "more options"). A while ago I bought a hardcopy of the core VtM v5 book and want to, at some point, try joining a game for that to explore the significantly different playing style it's designed for.
