Ayyyy my man, hello from an avid TTRPG player. Given my experience, there are more female players than you think. I actually was in an LOTR campaign once that was entirely female (actual women, not trans). Was a blast while it lasted, but then I graduated. I’ve played DnD extensively, but have found World of Darkness is best for finding women. Oddly, WoD was my first game but it wasn’t Vampire (prime woman magnet) or Werewolf (also female magnet) but Changeling: The Lost. Hobby stores are your friend, possibly Adventurers League or Meetup also works. I will advise you, some women are skeptical or even hostile to men joining groups purely to meet women, so maybe keep it on the down low at first.

The fact that you knit is pretty neat, cool and useful hobby. Are you on dating apps? While they aren’t the greatest, you can sometimes find some cool folks, mind you I am well aware of the advantages women have when it comes to online dating and even IRL.

Game development is cool, maybe you could put out feelers on Reddit or whatever godforsaken site women flock to these days to get pointers on the female gaming experience and what they want. Fan fiction is a massive draw for women, but many are gay or read depraved shit (last fan fic faved on AO3 before the integer error was a One Direction one which invoked Tom caged and having cock and ball torture, no I am not kidding).

Hope that helps some, and good luck out there!
