Check out Cosmic Encounter Online. Almost ready to launch, Flash-based online version of the classic board game. If you've never played it, you should. If you have played it, you should again. I hope these guys can make their subscription model work.
Except the idea of "live action role playing" scares
me a little, Bloodrain.
It is a little odd, especially when you realize that a lot of people do it in full costume... but it can be fun. It's like being in a play when you don't know the lines, but nobody else does either. (The damn things are very hard to write, though. Every character has to be written and given background, knowledge and goals; and then you have to write the scenario and tie the goals and the characters together. Takes a long time.)
