If your college student plays D&D, you have failed as a parent

One who doesn't occupy an infantile dream world as a grown ass adult.

Like people who follow team sports to relive their glory days?

I had no idea that kids were still playing D&D. And I have two college age kids.

It got a boost in popularity after Stranger Things. They have school-sponsored D and D clubs at a ton of schools now, and obviously lots of people get together and play it on their own.

Video game addiction into the 20s is worse. There goes your college tuition you saved up for decades.

I had not heard that D&D was a thing again. My kids haven’t been playing it. They like some video games but are mostly into sports

College age D&D player here! I think D&D is still kind of niche among younger people, albeit a much bigger niche than it was back in the 70s and 80s. Video games and sports are way more popular, which I don't really see much of an issue with. All of those hobbies can encourage problem solving and making connections with peers, just in different ways (studies have been done on the developmental benefits of D&D, and I think it's pretty easy to see how many folks are friends because of sports and video games). Like other folks here have said, D&D is a great hobby in moderation! As long as your kids don't eat, sleep, and breathe their D&D campaigns, they should turn out fine.

I would be so 100% totally fine with this.

Much worse things to be in life than a little nerdy.

I don't need to. Mine just graduated with an Engineering degree, with honors.

What makes you think you are right?
