Fans of Eddie Munson are having a moment right now between actor Joseph Quinn launching into a marvelous blaze of glory and now a new Stranger Things collab with Dungeons & Dragons. The timing couldn’t be more perfect for more Hellfire Club adventures, and this release promises enough of them to last you at least until Stranger Things season five premieres in November on Netflix.
With Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club, tabletop enthusiasts can uncover Eddie’s lost campaigns and “take on challenges hotter than Hellfire—from gnarly battles with Demogorgons and Demodogs, to eerie dockside murders, and the treacherous Vale of Shadows,” as described in a press release. Touted as Eddie’s final game, which was left incomplete, players can now lay the hero’s last epic adventure to rest by finishing it in his honor.
Take a look at the art, which depicts Eddie’s final game-playing moments as game master that we didn’t get to see on the show with Dustin, Lucas, Erica, Will, and Mike.
This isn’t the first time that D&D has tried to leverage the phenomenon of Stranger Things with an official collaboration. Six years ago, the company released an official Stranger Things starter set for the fifth edition ruleset, a self-contained adventure with special character sheets and a brief module that balanced Will Byers’ own dabbling with dungeon mastering with a trip to the Upside Down. While that set leaned on offering as simplistic a take on D&D as possible, Hellfire Club looks a bit more elaborate, spinning itself less as a TTRPG adventure and more like a guided board game.
The new 3-5 player board game comes with four adventures and so many details from the world of Stranger Things. You can pre-order it on D&D Beyond to nab a digital product and the Hellfire Club-emblazoned physical box for $50. There is also an Ultimate Bundle, which includes both versions of the board and materials. With the Ultimate Bundle, you can also unlock an exclusive Upside Down digital dice set, the Upside Down digital map, and a sticker pack. Pre-orders of the set can be found at your local game store and on Amazon.
