Stranger Things D&D Starter Set Review

Let's have a look at Welcome to the Hellfire Club, the new Stranger Things–themed Dungeons & Dragons starter set for 5.5E. From retro nostalgia and emotional damage courtesy of Eddie Munson, to whether this box is actually a good place to start playing D&D, I crack it open and give you the honest verdict. Is this a genuinely solid beginner box, or just a very pretty nostalgia trap for your shelf? If you’re a Stranger Things fan, a lapsed D&D player, or someone who’s always said “yeah, I should probably try D&D one day”, this might be exactly what Wizards of the Coast had in mind.

Let me know in the comments whether you’d run this at your table… or if you’d still rather listen to Uncle Graham guess Escape by Rupert Holmes again. ‪@DNDWizards‬ ‪@strangerthings‬ #dnd #dnd5e #strangerthings #eddiemunson #dungeonsanddragons #beginnerfriendly #dndforbeginners #ttrpg AJM Nerdcore is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
