[QUOTE="Aellic Mornbringer, post: 9775569, member: 6688808"] 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 doesn't tie you to the show either. The references in the first three modules are very light, and slightly eye-rolling for the fourth but not to the point that you can't re-purpose it. [SPOILER="First module influence"]The mini-dungeon has a material plane side to it and a twisted mirror flipside.[/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Second module inspiration"]The dungeon resembles the underground tunnels that feature in season 2 of ST.[/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Third module inspiration"]The monster threat is very loosely based on the disseminated monster threat in season 3. IMO I think this aspect of the module could be enhanced to include the "from many, one" threat. There is also a picture of a pair of NPCs that is an in-joke to the show but doesn't impact anything.[/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Fourth module inspiration"]The main NPC is a reskin of one of the show's popular characters and the conceit is you're invited to a combat tourney that can result in you joining some club, I believe it's called the "Non-heaven flame Club". ;) There may be other references in this one, I haven't read it near as thoroughly as the others.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
