D&D And Stranger Things – Together Again To Save Christmas

2 Minute Read
Dec 16 2020

After helping D&D explode back into the mainstream, the cast of Stranger Things is here to play D&D once again. But this time it’s 5E.

Stranger Things is one of the big reasons that D&D is as popular as it has been over the last few years–it was the perfect combination of 80’s nostalgia hitting right at a time when Netflix was ready to explode onto the scene as a big name in quality series. It’s reach brought back a wave of retro nostalgia, which coupled with the accessibility of 5th Edition’s rules made for the perfect storm of new players.

Now D&D is more popular than ever, and the kids from Stranger Things (along with Hopper) are here to play D&D and make you realize just how much time has actually passed since that 1st season. So be warned, you might crumble away to dust–but this special livestreamed game of D&D looks like it’ll be heartwarming enough to reconstitute you as the cast of Stranger Things join Chris Perkins to save Christmas.
