Hellfire Club playing Dungeons and Dragons in Stranger Things Season 4
The Big Picture It's no secret that Stranger Things paid homage and referenced Dungeons & Dragons in its show, and Wizards of the Coast is aware of this. So much so that the popular roleplaying game has plans to put in more tie-ins from the Netflix show in its games.
As Dungeons & Dragons is about to enter its 50th year, the game has announced collaboration plans with Stranger Things, especially as the show is about to enter its fifth and final installment. In an interview with Adweek, D&D's Vice President of Franchise and Product, Jess Lanzillo, said that she's aware that people are getting into the game thanks to popular media, such as Critical Role and Stranger Things and that it introduced the game to a brand-new generation. Due to this, she understands how important the relationship between the game and Netflix is. So, as the game is about to reach its 5th decade, Lanzillo teased that the game will have some tie-in adventures from the show and that they know some things about the series' final installment, but didn't reveal more than that. "We purposely make sure that we don’t know too much. Well, we do know some things—and I’m not going to tell you. We have a series of Stranger Things adventures and tie-ins that we’re going to be doing, so we know what we need to know for all of that. That’s how we like to work with people: Make your own thing and let us know how we can create cool play experiences for folks around it." Stranger Things first came out on Netflix back in 2016 and so far has released 4 seasons, spanning 34 episodes. Due to the show being set in the 1980s, it aligned to Dungeon & Dragons' release as the game's first came out in 1974. The show made many references to the popular board game, naming villains after the game's characters, as well as playing it in the show. Thanks to the game's tie-in to the show, Wizards of the Coast released a special starter set based on the Netflix series in 2019.
