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...

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...

Good call on the resemblance to a darkmantle! I do think the mold in the Prodigy facility predates any of the specimens being brought to the facility. In fact, I think the first time we see it being treated is when Marcy is being led to the chamber to be transferred into her Wendy body.

I'm with Snarf on the mixed feelings. I was hoping for more character plot lines (and characters) reaching conclusions but this definitely set up the pieces for Season 2. I am left wondering about Kirsh. Did he get blind-sided completely or is this something he thought could potentially happen...

I definitely felt like the cleaner's cameo in that scene was very deliberate. By that time, we as the audience know that all non-essential personnel had supposedly been evacuated, leaving all of the principal characters, the security forces, and... the mold cleaner. 10 internets says the mold...

I would really love some explanation as to why she could hear the xenomorphs and the other children couldn't. Speaking of the last episode, I'm now thinking of revising down the "near-total/total wipeout" of the characters. Given the pacing and trying to give everyone their due in terms of how...

This is the primary reason I bought my copy for.

Your Keep will be distant neighbors to mine in the northeastern Shield Lands! Heh I'm leaning into the Horned Society for building a secret army in the Caves and one of the Bandit Kingdoms sponsoring Pral and his merry band.

Strong agree to everything in your post and want to highlight this specific part. As mature as Wendy presents, she is definitely still a child. This feeds her illusions on the xenomorph itself and lack of understanding towards its biological nature as well as the callousness she displayed when...

I could see a scenario where the Eye outsmarts and outmaneuvers BK, lining him up to be a victim to one of the other species. Near identical to how it orchestrated Toodles death via the "Flies".

One question that hasn't been asked by the characters is how in the world does Schroedinger's Plant move around? I found it so odd/interesting that it was initially found attached to the ceiling in one of the Maginot's hallways. It certainly has capabilities we aren't privy to yet.
