Where do get effects plugins? I’d like to try them in my Reaper.

Tons of places. The vast majority (probably 90% or more) of music software is implemented as DAW plugins.
A couple good places with stores are pluginboutique.com and kvraudio.com.
At the moment I am really liking Kilohearts Snap-Ins. I got these when I subscribed to Phase Plant (the synthesizer plugin I use) but I use them on almost every track in my DAW now. They have a few free ones.
Sometimes you just need to find them though.

So…
Using effects in the DAW as opposed to actual pedals limits you to ALWAYS having to play through the DAW?
Am I correct in this assumption?

Just after I typed this I found:

official, even. Kind of expensive though.
But apparently super good:

Just bought it. Well, that helped make a decision for me 
It’s also going to be cool running synths and other instruments through this.

Apparently they are both spot on. The plugin is a third of a GB so I imagine there’s a lot of stuff done with combinatorial IR.

Well this escalated quickly…
The vast majority of those came with other things I bought or in bundles. 37 of them came with my synthesizer and 38 came as a free bundle for buying another plugin.
Welp now I am in a funny position. I actually like a lot of these better than my pedals. I even found a sweet multiband chorus that I like better than my bass clone. So at this point, the pedalboard becomes a liability because it’s best for me to record clean and apply the effects in the DAW.
The Darkglass plugin is awesome for bass, incidentally

That plugin is indeed awesome Howard! It’s actually how I got into Darkglass in the first place. I also got the Nolly plugin which is quite amazing for guitar. If you like the DG plugin I can recommend Parallax from neural too. I even think you can get even more out of Parallax than any other bass plugin I have tried so far: https://neuraldsp.com/products/parallax

Really impressed with Neural’s stuff so far.

All the Kilohearts stuff has been quality so far, really loving both Phase Plant and all the snapins.

Not a pedalboard yet but off to a good start.
…They finally arrived and I am not disappointed. The Alpha Omicron is a fantastic distortion pedal that can go from “just a hint” to “Oh no… Satan is coming”. The POG is the coolest thing I’ve plugged into my amp in a very long time. I find that playing around with the POG especially has awoken my creativity and combining the POG with the Alpha Omicron is amazing. Although quite expensive, I highly recommend both of these pedals.
