Hello;
ME
I am newish to the DC area. Mid 40's Moved here from Michigan for work. I am staying in Alexandria VA for now.
I played D&D, GURPS, and a few other RPGs for Decades with all of the incarnations AD&D AD&D2 up thru what I am told is 3.5.
Then life happened. . . .
A decade+ later,
About 3 years ago my work hires some new people and in passing I say something about loving D&D. A new woman at work tells me about Pathfinder that her and her husband play. I found a local gaming store and bought the basic stuff to play. Trying to learn these rules I played with her group for a few months till the DM vanished.
I learn of a free Con near where I was living. So I went, playing having a BLAST! Met a great DM that lived near me. Gathered a few people I met and we started playing again as much as life allowed(me still learning). A year later work changes I get transferred to the DC area and I can not find a group to play with.
Here we are today, not able to find any Pathfinder games in the area. I have checked around a few of the local stores with no real luck.
I was told by some of my friends in Michigan to try here!
Anyone???

Yes. The Pathfinder community in the DC area seems to most heavily use Meetup to organize games.
I care more about Pathfinder Society than home brew games (mostly because my experience with home brew games has been abysmal... real life ALWAYS interfered with scheduling.)
The biggest/main group is plays PFS most Tuesdays at 1800 at Comics & Gaming in Fairfax.

There is a small group of us that started about 4 months ago using that meetup to organize PFS games at the Sherwood Regional Library most Saturdays @1145.
Farther afield there is a group that plays at The Haven in Frederick, MD and uses a different Meetup:

Good luck and welcome to NoVa.
