Want to play DnD

https://roll20.net/ is a good place to play online apparently. It takes some searching to find a decent group, though.

See if theres a local Tabletop club, GMs will usually provide all you need.

But be warned, you'll almost certainly be playing with randoms. They can range from the rare good players to the absolute worst.

Here's the mega with rules for 5e. It's all there, it's all very simple to learn, and it's all free.

Here's a site with every player resource gathered in one place, it also has monsters, gear and an encounter builder.

As other anon said, roll20 is certainly a place to find a party, but it's not a very good one. Before you resort to that, check tabletop stores in your town or ask your friends to play with you, if you have any.

Be ready to have to read a lot, remember a lot and square yourself with that you have to take the consequences for your actions.
A lot of people expect others to carry the load and remember the rules for them, and there are a fuckton of players who honestly think that they should never be able to die and never be able to get themselves into hot water.
If you just remember to read the rules that pertain to your character and the stuff you'll be doing, create a character who's a human being with flaws and mundane spots instead of a rainbow dragonwolf paladin 10/ur-priest 5, try not to pick fights with your party members and prepare yourself for the possibility you might fuck up and have to take the full consequences, you're already better than most new players.
Roleplaying games, though, require a lot of patience with both people and memorization, and you need to be ready to play a character on top of that.
If you're easily bored, don't want to spend major amounts of time on it or have something against playing a character with at least some work put into them, though, you should look into boardgames.
Roleplaying is a group activity, and what's more important than any experience, talent or luck is to be able to listen, put in effort and concentrate, because otherwise you not listening is going to drag the whole thing down.
You also need to remember that in a roleplaying game, you're not the main character, and being able to cooperate with the other characters is all-important.
TL;DR: The most important things are to be able and willing to listen, learn, work, cooperate, think and suck things up. When you throw up your hands because reading the rulebook is a chore, when you insist on your character getting treated specially or when you cock up and refuse to take the consequences, everyone's game suffers.

Also, there are edition wars.
As a rule of thumb, every edition tries to simplify and streamline the basic formula more and more, which has its ups (smoother games with more expansive character options) and its downs (lack of depth, oversimplifications, unsatisfyingly easy encounters).
If you wanted to play D&D because you've seen it on TV or heard about it in the media, you're probably thinking of AD&D or 3.5 - AD&D was the one that made a splash back in the 80's, 3.5 was the one that came back into focus when nerds became cool, and the later editions were made to appeal to the people who wanted to be cool but didn't want the commitment or difficulty.
There's nothing wrong with playing 5e as a beginner, but do yourself a favor and play AD&D later on - you're shooting yourself in the foot if you spoil yourself with nu-games. Simple games when you start out are all well and good, but you'll miss out on a huge chunk of the appeal if you let yourself start playing only 5e.
I can't count the number of players out there who could have become good roleplayers, but were brought into roleplaying with a railroaded, auto-scaling snowflake-fest 5e game where the players blow their fuse as soon as their characters take damage.

>tfw to intelligent to play 5e

You need other people to play with, so start by making some friends.

>They can range from the rare good players to the absolute worst.
To be fair, though, this is true of all gaming situations, and of life in general. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you'll find a few okay folks, and a lot of idiots and douche bags.

Do what I am doing.

Have a 2e PHB handed down to you but never actually use it until you are making a half assed homebrew system/setting to try to ween players onto dnd
