At least in NYC, there are now after school programs where they pick you up directly from elementary school and take you to play in professionally run D&D campaigns. Plus there is no social stigma attached for the kids playing - its seen as "cool" as any other activity. I am sad to bequeath to my children a climate ravaged over-indebted husk of a planet but at least in some crucial ways they have it better than I did!

I disagree! Cool kids have always made their own RPGs in high school!

Hey! We were cool. In a sort of introverted, strange, and... OK, we weren't cool.
