For the sake of it - it's one of those things that i want to try out at least once.

I wouldn't have posted here, but...
I've got the following problem: there's no one in my area who either has it, wants to play it or even knows what it is.


That's why I want to ask you guys if you maybe want to play with me -- online! There's a website dedicated to simulate tabletop RPGs like D&D for people who want to play together but live too far apart; it's called http://roll20.net/. Provides an virtual table to play on and different chat options such as voice chat, video chat or conventional text chat.
Do you have any kind of experience with the actual D&D? Then this should be no problem thanks to the website! Pre-built campaigns and character sheets are provided for convenience.

If there are questions or desires though...
There's a whole tutorial series dedicated to roll20, explaining how to navigate the website, illustrating each function and even a guideline on how to create a custom campaign.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGKJMlzabImiNQMQDXyIMq_NxSx0i5Zg


There are certain roles to fill first though; I'd need a DM and a few participants...
Anyways, I have the option to use voice chat.


What's your opinion on it? Would you be on board with me? If you've got further questions, I'll try to answer as best as I can.

[Please mind this is just a suggestion, nothing is concrete.]

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I'd recommend Pathfinder over DnD, personally. It's also a game that's better in person, but voice chat can manage well enough. Keep in mind that it's a good idea to invest in a rulebook if you want to play or DM, otherwise you're going to end up tripping over yourself in sessions.

My main problem still remains; playing a tabletop game with friends is not possible due to inaccessibility.
The website I linked provides a virtual tabletop for any RPG so the actual game shouldn't be a problem - i just need some volunteers from here.

Anyways I'll get a book if there are enough people.

Some friends and I used to play it using maptool. It was pretty fun. I think I like the newest edition out of them all, the games mechanics are simpler making the games go faster.

I'll check it out.

It's always good to have alternatives.

Cool.

Do you have experience DM'ing or RP'ing?

No, any knowledge I have comes from one of my friends that likes to RP online.

Then we have something in common.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are

I played a D&D session where it was virtually all fighting.. worst experience ever!
