My challenge isn't playing in real time, it's finding time to play at the SAME time. Most of my players have children, so they need to be able to enter their actions via mobile. We use Roll20 primarily for its map, but do play on Sunday nights in real time for a few hours. The rest of the week it's one day = 1 round. Working well so far.

If you can't find anyone to join you in your favorite tabletop RPG, Google's
Hangout might be your solution. We have been experimenting with 5 participants
since November, here is information about how it is going so far...
Experiences with Classic Tabletop Role-Playing Gaming Via Google Hangout
For those that have been following me on Youtube, you may already know this,
but for the past 2 months I have been experimenting with a group of players,
using Google Plus's Hangout and broadcast features to play classic tabletop
role-playing gaming. I've been using Google+ for about a year now for Middle-
earth Talk Radio Show, and Tolkien Moot Convention broadcasts. With this
gaming campaign, we had a number of technical struggles at first, but those
are fading, and things are getting smoother with each session. We just
finished session 4 last week, with session 5 scheduled for this upcoming
Sunday. I am now going to add some tools....
