Nothing wrong with playing online, although we do use tabletop RPG's, some of us do play online from time to time.
This forum is pretty blunt, so don't pay too close attention to those that rude things, some of us try to be pretty civil.
What games do you like? If you don't play printed tabletop games now, would you like to be directed to any tabletop rules we use? What genres do you like?
Anyway, welcome to the site. I hope some of us can help you out.
I know my nephew and niece both do online forum RP, as does a new member of their game group. I can ask them, as well as check around other places if that is your preference.
