Is not the Stranger Things boxed set a Universes Beyond type product?

We can finally get a subclass based off of Mr. Mistoffelees!

It seems a bit like when I go golfing and people just want to play a best-ball match with a couple partners for fun and not worry about each of your shots and counting everything. It is fun, but not for everyday.
If it can stay in its own box and only come out for 1-shots and such and for a few games at conventions. I would not want to play this everyday or want players to pick some spells and classes and feats to try and make 'official'.

Not just consumed nostalgia: instant nostalgia.Welcome to the capitalist world of consumed nostalgia.
We're having remakes of shows, games, movies, etc. that aren't even that old. How to Train Your Dragon got a live-action remake...only fifteen years after it originally came out.
Like there are literally people who went to see it in theaters as children who haven't even graduated college before getting a remake!
Nostalgia is the newest open-pit mining operation of the creative space, and it's being exhausted at an even more prodigious rate than any previous one.
Frankly, I'm genuinely expecting a simultaneous movie and video game crash to reckon with the 80s video game crash--and TV isn't gonna be doing that well either. It'll be a pretty painful and crappy time, but I suspect good stuff will eventually flow from it. It could've been avoided, but, you know, tragedy of the commons and all that. Humans usually need to have disaster actually arrive before they fix their $#!+.
Boring because it would not be a giant leap, but I'd love to see something like Delicious in Dungeon or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End adapted to D&D.
Similarly, stuff like DragonQuest on the videogame side would be fun to see.
I've not seen this show, but judging by its popularity, it might be a smart thing to do. Do it while it is still hot....I can already envision the D&D x K-Pop Demon Hunters boxed set...and I don't automatically hate it...(of course it comes with music you can play during the game...).
I'm cautious, but, hell, I'd love the chance to figure out how to capture these experiences in D&D. Sounds like some fun game design challenges.
It would be gross but I guess they could also go in-house and do another Jem reboot and ahem incorporate some ideas from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It's an extremely compatible franchise with D&D and yeah, this is the moment.
The return on investment on a Jem & The Holograms RPG in 2026 seems like it'd be pretty terrible.

Heh, one of the fascinating things about the show is that it's HUGELY popular, but by all accounts, nobody had any indication that it would be. So many kids this year are dressing like Rumi for Halloween and finding a wig is not easy!
IMO, a Dungeon Meishi-inspired Monster Manual Cookbook would be a fun addition to my games. I'm imagining something art-heavy (even in an anime style!), written from an in-universe perspective. They've done some recipe books in the past for fantasy dishes that you can make in the real world, this would be a fun chance to do something similar.

The adventurers meet in a gritty dive bar on Baltic Avenue, planning the big score: Passing Go! in reverse and robbing the Boardwalk Hotel blind!
