I had this problem when my old gaming group got lives and became scattered across the country. I also found it difficult to look for local gaming groups due to young children. I've been gaming online using a "Virtual Tabletop" (VTT) called Fantasy Grounds. It simulates the tabletop gathering quite nicely (it even has dice to throw). Gaming by typed chat is slower than across the gaming table, but it does tend to make for a better story and roleplaying (written media vs spoken). Some people use Skype or Ventrilo to game, using the VTT to keep the records and share maps etc. There are a number of these on the market (others are Klooge, Battlegrounds RPG, Maptool, GRIP). Have a look around at the forums and see if any of these appeals.
I'm currently running a WitchCraft game using Fantasy Grounds on Sunday evenings at 8pm UK time if you're interested. I'm anxiously waiting for the Dresden RPG to be published. I liked the Spirit of the Century rules and really need to do a ruleset (basically a character sheet, NPC sheet, combat tracker, etc.) so I can use this in Fantasy Grounds for Pulp games.

Well, when this game gets released we DEFINITELY need to set up a few online games with forum goers, I think it would be a lot of fun.

Although I intend to find a group for playing it in my area, before or after - I will still get it.

Yeah, White Wolf has a Java-based chat room (or several of them, I think) for online play. Why not us? :: Grins::

Totally. I'll even go through the task of organizing the darn thing.
