Grab Some Waffles and Get Ready for D&D: Stranger Things Edition!

Part of Stranger Things success has been in capturing the feeling of the 1980's, and one of the establishing scenes of the Netflix series was showing Mike and his friends playing Dungeons and Dragons in the basement. Anyone who played D&D in the early '80s was instantly transported to that time, and it made those kids that much more relatable. Now, Hasbro Games and Wizards of the Coast are bringing some love back to the show with the Stranger Things Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set.

A lot of long-time role playing gamers have been searching high and low for something, anything, to get their non-gaming friends into RPGs, and this might be the ticket! The starter set includes everything you need to get started with Dungeons and Dragons, but with a Stranger Things twist- there are pre-generated character sheets included that will let players use the characters that the kids played on the show.

Here's what you get in that classic TSR era box according to Amazon:

• Stranger things themed of Dungeons & Dragons: embark on an exciting dungeon & Dragons adventure, hunt for the Thessalhydra, "created" By the character Mike from the Netflix original series, Stranger Things
• Great game for new Dungeon & Dragons players: whether players are new to D&D, or looking for a new adventure, this Stranger Things themed role-playing game includes everything a group needs to play.
• Detailed rules, adventure book and game dice: The exciting adventure book and colorful rulebook contain tons of information on how to play the game, strategy, and tips for players to advance a character beyond the Fifth level, plus 6 Polyhedral dice so you're ready to play
• Stranger Things character sheets: play as a favorite Stranger Things character's character (meta!)
• Includes 2 Demogorgon figures: the game includes 2 Demogorgon figures, one is pre-painted, the other is plain plastic and can be painted or customized.

We don't have a release date yet, since this game was just announced at the New York Toy Fair! We'll keep you updated with news as the game gets closer to release.
