I found D&D to be really popular in the Canadian North lately, like people you'd never expect to be into it who aren't really a huge part of wider culture around fantasy games and stuff like that until around when Game of Thrones came out, super into the game because it's pretty much a great thing to do when you're stuck inside for most of the year.

It's fun. I play maybe like once a year though I look forward to that all the time.
