YuGiOh, MtG, or DnD

Hello fellow 505 nerds,

I am an autistic man in my mid-30s, and I have lived here for many years but don't really know anyone other than coworkers and family. I am looking for new hobbies that get me out of the house and meeting people (my other main interests are indie rock/record collecting, Star Wars, fantasy novels, comics, and LEGO). I'm interested in getting into YuGiOh, Magic the Gathering, or Dungeons & Dragons (or all of the above!), but I am overwhelmed and don't know how/where to get started.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them!

I'm also somewhat anxious about being the weird old guy, even though I know that all of those hobbies have a lot of people in their 30s, so age-appropriate venues are appreciated.

I've got my summer reading list ready

I'm a relatively new fantasy reader (about 2 years). I started with an "essential" foundation of Lord of the Rings, ASOIAF, Discworld, and First Law, and since then I've mostly been reading more modern fantasy books that pique my interest. I got into a little slump recently, and decided it would be fun to do another run of classics.

I'll probably throw in some comics and Star Wars books to break things up, tonally.

Anyone else have any big summer goals?

(Binge-reading series doesn't really come naturally to me, for anyone wondering why I'm jumping around instead of focusing on any one series in particular)
