Hey folks, I've been wanting to play RPGs again, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Playing with a live group is out of the question since the travel times wouldn't be worth it. I'm usually tired after playing for several hours, and I don't want to pass out and crash and burn on the drive home. This means that my only option is online play.

Now, I've tried multiple times to make PbP work and it has never, ever worked for me. I once tried various voice-chat roleplaying methods like Skype, roll20.net, MapTool, and OpenRPG... The most successful campaigns I've ever been in used a combination of Skype and roll20 or MapTool. OpenRPG has never worked for me.

So, where do I begin? Or rather, how do I begin again?

Roll20's Looking for Group list is quite useful, if you don't have a group willing to play over it already.

I suggest using Skype or some equivalent instead of the built in audio/video stuff in roll20 because it's garbage.
