I've been learning how to make multiplayer games in HTML5 with socket.io, so I'll probably be plugging away on that. Then I might go to a play at a local theatre with some friends and I'll be getting together with some relatives to DM our first D&D 5e session!
Oh man, I've been trying to get into D&D. I have some friends that live a couple hours away that are interested, but at last it's hard to play when they are that far away. It sounds like fun though :)
There are lots of ways to play over a distance! MapTool + Skype, iTableTop, and I think there's an official WotC app too. Or you could join a play-by-post forum.
I will definitely have to check out those! Thanks for the suggestions! Sounds like a great way to slowly introduce the game since I have no idea what I would be doing lol.
There's also Roll20 which is free, or Tabletop Simulator if you're willing to pay. Both are great, and DnD is an excellent pastime. You don't even have to do medieval fantasy stuff if you don't want to, the DnD rules can be applied to stuff like Fallout, Star Wars, etc. Hope you like it!

Check out this comment that Wenjarich replied to me with when I queried him about where to start.
