D&D Comes Full Circle, Announces Campaign Inspired By Stranger Things
If there’s one common theme throughout the four existing seasons of Netflix’s Stranger Things, it’s the love of its creators for Dungeons & Dragons. A session of the game is one of the first things seen on the show. Names of classic creatures from the original manual are directly used. Entire plots and arcs are inspired by D&D stories and monsters. Would there even be a Stranger Things without D&D? The wild thing is that we’ve come the point where the two properties are beginning to influence each other. Wizards of the Coast is prepping a 50-year anniversary celebration for D&D this year, probably to see if they can get everyone to forget that…..stuff that happened the year before. They’ve announced a big fat anniversary module called Vecna: Eve of Ruin, and senior designer Amanda Hamon has publicly admitted certain elements of this campaign were inspired by ST. ”I’m a fan of Stranger Things and a lot of folks on staff are fans of Stranger Things,” she confessed to IGN.
