Congrats to Shadow on the engagement! Or condolences, as Zeus puts it.

My Wednesday night D&D group has moved to Roll 20, and the results have been ... difficult. My laptop can barely run it, everybody has microphone issues, etc. Going to keep trying until the lockdown lifts, but I do not enjoy playing D&D this way. I mean, going from what PO says above, I'm a writer, and I used to do a lot of text-based online RP (in IRC, if anybody remembers that), but nothing can replace the in-person tabletop experience for me.

Hey man, try Zoom seriously. We tried a few other methods including discord etc, and zoom is by far the best. It's like being in a room with everyone. You can split the screen on your computer as well and have discord below for rolling your dice (have to load a dice rolling bot) or messages between the dm and players etc.

It actually is almost better than playing in person because everyone is ccmfy at their home, you can make tea etc, and be in your most comfortable chair. Really enjoying playing over zoom, may not ever go back to in person play after this.
