[QUOTE="Alphastream, post: 9798854, member: 11365"] The emphasis of the set is clearly on pleasing fans of the set. There are tons of call-outs and nods that make it rewarding to fans of the show. For example, one of the adventures features underground tunnels and foes that are right out of season 2. Even the premise of a farmer complaining reflects that season. But, nothing is overtly telling you about the show or of any show connections. If you didn't see the show, it's just a farmer complaining of their crops failing in strange ways and the answer is found exploring these mysterious dark tunnels. I don't think someone who hasn't watched the show would suffer. Yes, there are lots of notes from Billy and so on, but they don't detract if you never played Stranger Things. I suspect a bigger factor is that the style of the adventures is very simple and one-shot episodic in nature. Without the larger concept resonating, the experience will be fine but probably not amazing. [/QUOTE]
