Welcome
The difference to tabletop can be a little or a lot. Some do play with a DM scenarios and dice rolls, even down to having a character sheet and stats. In fact the /random in game roll is often used to determine outcome. Others, though, play more like the role play story telling and experiencing type of game, where essentially each person writes for their character, these can be as rich and novels jointly written or as fast and snappy as improv (like who's line is it anyway).
A good reference is [The Role-Play Handbook] a great resource.
To find others other than open walk-ups and events I would recommend you check out the [RP Linkskell & Free Company Lists for Balmung] for things that suit you. A Linkshell is like an in game chat channel and you can have 8, and a Free Company is like a Guild.
