Thing is, meeting up is the toughest part. You never really get to the deep, good stuff if you only meet with your crew like once or twice a year for these kinds of occasions. If you don't come up with a regular schedule to meet up for D&D, yeah, you'll miss out on so much of it.
My brother has been listening to this one group that does a podcast of their games they create for a long time now. It can truly get pretty interesting, but yeah. Unless you're set on spending tons of time on playing and going through everything. You won't really get anywhere special in it
