Best of luck, Fallen. I don't know of any other way to play, so I've never looked for help on how to play that way (thought there is a fair to middlin' bit of advice on how to do it in the DMG and PH).
As for where to go and how to find people, I've always been lousy at that too. The last time I had a campaign running, it was me DMing and 3 other guys, sitting around my pong table in the garage, puffin' smokes & drinking homebrews (which you won't be doing at a gaming store.) I have gone to a gaming store and managed to find a pick up game once, but, since I didn't know anyone all that well, I didn't have much fun.
Ask folks. You'd be surprised how many have played, and, of those the split seems to be 60% think that it was fun in highschool, but they've grown up, and 40% are still playing or looking to play.
Indeed, if madness is in the NoVa area, I'm up for being a player, and I have a friend or two who might be into it as well.
