I played D&D 15 years ago back when I was at Uni. I enjoyed the experience with an amazing DM, but later had a miserable experience with a bad DM. Nowadays I dont have as much time as I wish I had but I would love to play "casually"

The other day I was thinking about some kind of online service that would let you join a D&D like distributed party. It would be cool to have the experience with good DMs and maybe even pay them something per game.

There is Roll20, which allows you to play in online campaigns.

Sounds like a virtual tabletop, of which there are many, some with fully licensed support for D&D and other major TTRPGs (Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, etc.)

I totally know what you mean - a DM can really make or break the experience. I have some ideas around this that may surface in Adventurekeep at some point.

I hope you get an opportunity to play again. D&D is such a unique experience that everyone should be able to participate in.
