D&D General Shocked how hard it is to get new players now-a-days

Don't you still have to clean dust off the heatsinks occasionally?

Of course, but it's just one heatsink, it's the entire case, so no opening requires.

It's this case:

The kids call your PC a potato.

But can it play Doom?

Oddly enough I have no problem gathering new players, but have a hard time having them stay. Maybe I am the DM that teaches new players how D&D 5e works and they go off joining other groups. My DM style is pretty lax (I read the room and decide on house rules with the group).
Edit: my only regular group is with family when we meet up for vacations.

Yes, the potato can.

Found out recently that the most requested thing at the two FLGS I talk to about this kind of stuff is Phandelver and Ravenlloft (Curse of Strahd).

So another option, ask the store what people have d asked for and run that, maybe specifically see if yuu can reach out to those folks.

Lost Mines is a great store-based game, IMO, since it's so episodic.
