Pretty accessible? Perhaps.
But the requirement of a skilled "GM" who has made efforts to prepare for play (learning rules, maybe printing character sheets and buying dice, preparing scenarios, statting up monsters, etc) makes its own barrier.
Most "RPG clubs" I've had experience with lament the dire lack and availability of "GMs", like it's a rare sort of creature who is desperately needed by the community. If your game needs a skilled facilitator in order for people to begin playing, that's a significant barrier to entry for most.
