unironically, get into vrchat 
there are surprisingly large roleplay communities that already do very similar things on a regular basis
>40+ people, in character, wandering a world custom-made for the story, each with their own homes, workplaces, goals
>some number of other real people playing the part of NPCs (city guards, enemies, etc.)
>one or a few DMs controlling world events and major story elements
>real time combat (awkward considering it's vrc but that's come a long way recently)
i've only participated once or twice in smaller groups but it's probably the most truly immersed in vr i've felt in a long time
the really big ones stream on twitch too and it's pretty fun to watch everything going on behind the scenes
