I'm a bit torn on this. On the one hand, TTRPGs go mainstream. That's both good and bad, yes, but I think mostly good.

On the other hand, some kid is going to get this for their birthday, get all exited, and then they'll find out that you can't really learn how to play TTRPGs just from reading a short rulebook... and that you need at least 3 other people to do it... and that they have to get together for 4+ hours at least every other week or so, etc.

On the second part, it will be the kids first lesson in reading the box label and understanding that it clearly has labels showing the game involves 3-4 players for 3-4 hours. But then again from childhood days, I purchased plenty of games for groups mainly for the reading material enjoyment.,.if they buy it cause of the show, I’m sure their imagination just went into overdrive and starts asking friends that watch the show to play.

I mean, this is not really different from the D&D Starter Set that is already on the shelves. I guess the difference might be that some parent buys it thinking it's a board game rather than an RPG and the kid doesn't know what they're getting, but to be fair stories like that happened back in the 80s when D&D Basic Sets were being sold on mainstream retailer shelves too.

Kids who love Avatar will do the work. I mentioned this game to a classroom I was speaking to about D&D and I saw half the classes eyes light up. Airbending and D&D? Together??? Minds were blown.

Also, they can google actual plays to help them figure it out. Magpie even has one coming out featuring some of the original voice actors.

I feel like a kid getting a rpg boxed set from relatives who thought it was a board game has been happening since at least the early 80's.

It's likely in the same location as the D&D stuff, which is the board game section. If a kid is looking in that section then I'd say there is a good chance that they'll know they need more than one person.
