D&D General I Prefer Playing in Person, but Love Having Remote Play as an Option

[Retreater]

It's not just the pandemic keeping my groups mostly online. It's players in different states, players with small children who can't get time away easily, and easier to work around work schedules during the week.
There's still one group that meets in person - about once a month for a couple hours.

At this point, I feel like online is for gaming for the sake of gaming: it's all about the DnD. In-person games are fun too, but feel more like an excuse to meet up with friends and something to do while we hang out.

Kinda like boardgame meetups vs meeting with friends who also like boardgames.

I am blessed with a group of friends I do many non-D&D things with (including board game nights) but who are (probably because of that) super focused at the table.
