Great points. In addition to underestimating his foes, Vecna/Henry has tunnel-vision for his evil plans. Coupled with your point about how he has to carry out his own plans as he is an army of one, he chooses to focus on his master plan instead of taking time to carefully remove any obstacles...

Agreed. After the heart to heart Dustin and Steve have, they are a package deal in my mind. They're either both making it out together or both going down together. (my money is on your guess, they will barely make it out together possibly after the audience initially thinks they are goners.)

Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for everyone who has thrown their two cents in. Lots of great advice! Similar to the OP, I've been thinking about getting back* into painting as I have a Bones kickstarter still in the box as well as a number of random minis I've bought over the years...

This is my understanding. The snapshot is taken the night Will goes missing when Eleven makes contact with the Demogorgon. I forget the exact episode in Season 4 but Nancy figures it out to a certain degree by the items she sees in her Upside Down room (if I recall, the camera pans over the...

Good call. I had to go back and do some reading. Based on how Hopper and Joyce found Barb's body with the slug thing coming out of it, I had been working off the assumption that the Demogorgon had only captured her and dragged her off ala something from Alien/Aliens. But reading in a few places...

Agreed. I enjoy the mental stroll through memory lane it generates. The toys, the arcade, the mall, Radio Shack (where I worked during high school), the music, etc. etc.

Here's a question. Given the timeline of events in Season 1, specifically when Barb is captured compared to Will (since he was able to evade the Demogorgon for a number of days), can we assume that Vecna first attempted his plan with Barb and it presumably failed, killing her? And Will was a...

Nice! I love Darksword's minis based off some of the classic artists.

I am an absolute sucker for the nostalgia collectibles, especially something like this where I can display them on top of my bookshelves.

I would say you could slot the adventures into a non-Stranger Things related setting without batting an eye. They are very nominally placed in "Greyhawkins" so you have to change the name of a town or two. And some of the monsters are designed after some of the creatures in the show but that...

I received my copy a few days ago and have skimmed through the adventures to get their pulse before reading everything cover to cover. I largely agree with @Stormonu 's review points. I would add that in my opinion I'd almost call it a collector's piece for fans of both Stranger Things and D&D...

Same

Decent article. It definitely ties together the strings that are sprinkled throughout the adventure booklets but doesn't add anything really new. And that's a fair assessment, it does streamline out some of the more superfluous encounters/quests with their suggestions. Or another way, the...

That would make for a pretty cool head scratching intro to Season 2, Episode 1, but I'm with Whizbang, I don't think there's enough time given the present state of the principles. NOW, had the finale ended with the Lost Boys watching WY approaching the island while Morrow sneers and prophesizes...

I'm looking at @John R Davis's pictures, nodding my head in appreciation when, "Oh hey! I have that dungeon decor set with the two pillars and the little mystic pool." About 30 seconds pass, "Wait, I haven't seen those in years, where the heck are they?!" Now I'm going to drive myself crazy...
