Looking to get back into DnD after a long hiatus, and since I don't have any interest among my friends group I was wondering how exactly to find a group to play with over the net and whether the experience was considered worthwhile.
Anyone play DnD over skype, and if so how'd you find your group?

My roommate plays World of Darkness over Skype. Since he's in the military, I think they were all local at one point and decided to continue the game over Skype so the group wouldn't break up.
It may be easier to find a local group at your local gaming store.

If you're going to play, I strongly recommend trying out Roll20 for your group:
http://roll20.net/
It's basically an online, virtual tabletop. However, and this may be of interest to you, they have an LFG section if you're looking for a game to either host or join:

I've also used maptools with great success in the past (roll20 did not exist then) but it's a little more work to sort of get going and understand. Though, it's more flexible IMO once you understand all of that. That being said, I found the program just less useable and a bit buggier than Roll20 in general.

Long story short: online play totally works and is a lot of fun.
My group was just a bunch of internet friends I knew.
