Dungeons & Dragons X Stranger Things TTRPG Is Up For Preorder

Wait 5 sec.

Dungeons & Dragons has exploded in popularity over the past few years, and part of that is due to the success of Stranger Things. The TTRPG features heavily in Netflix's nostalgia-tinged supernatural series--not only do we see the characters play the game, they even give many of the otherworldly creatures they encounter names pulled from Dungeons & Dragons lore. Soon, fans will be able to take part in the Stranger Things crew's tabletop adventures with an all-new D&D crossover game, Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club.The game looks to be a streamlined version of D&D that comes with everything you need, is easy to set up, and includes adventures based on the campaigns made by Stranger Things character Eddie Munson. The final season of Stranger Things doesn't premiere until November 26, but fans will be able to join the Hellfire Club on October 7. You can preorder the crossover game for $50 at Amazon.Unlike the full version of D&D that relies on large rulebooks and the theater of the mind, Welcome to The Hellfire Club adopts a board game-style presentation more akin to HeroQuest, featuring numerous cards for spells, items, and monsters. There are also illustrated grid maps and punch-out tokens for each of the playable characters and monsters. Everything you need to play Dungeons & Dragons Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game comes in the box, including:Play Guide BookletQuick-Start GuideFour Adventure BookletsFour HandoutsHellfire Club Poster & Poster MapsCombat TrackerDM Screen11 Dice91 Cards for Spells, Magic Items, Monsters72 Tokens for Player Characters and Monsters15 Character SheetsThese pieces are all rendered with a classic art style inspired by '80s heavy metal and classic D&D illustrations. Dungeons & Dragons Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game seems like it could be a perfect game for Stranger Things fans who enjoy TTRPGs, or anyone who wants to dip their toes into tabletop gaming with a more structured experience that's easy to pick up and play.The upcoming TTRPG isn't the first Stranger Things board game.

Check out these new D&D and HeroQuest releasesAs for D&D fans, there's also the newly released Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons board game, which--as the title implies--puts a D&D spin on the award-winning horror-themed board game, Horrified. 1-5 players explore the dungeons of Undermountain and take on quests that pit them against iconic D&D monsters like The Mimic, The Beholder, The Displacer, and Red Dragon. The game was originally expected to launch August 10, but it's already out--at Target at least--for $30. Amazon also has a store page for the game, though it's not available to buy just yet. We had a chance to play the game ahead of launch, so be sure to check our Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons review if you want to learn more.If you want to try the real thing, the best place to start is the recent D&D 2024 Edition Core Rulebooks set. The new Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual are all required to play the latest edition of D&D. If you're looking for some pre-made adventures to follow along with, there's the recent Dragon Delves Adventure Anthology that contains 10 modules designed for characters from levels 1-12. And if you want to expand your game even further with new classes, monsters, and and more, all set in Eberron campaign setting, you can preorder the upcoming Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Rules Expansion for $30 ahead of its August 19 launch date.

This set of 10 adventures is designed by actor and TTRPG super fan Joe Manganiello. The box includes new cards, dungeon tiles, dice, and a metallic Black Dragon miniature. And just like Welcome to the Hellfire Club, The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness features a heavy metal aesthetic that's perfect for the dark fantasy adventures Manganiello cooked up. Unfortunately, it's currently sold out at Amazon, but hopefully we'll see a restock soon.Note that The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness requires the HeroQuest base game to play, which is available now for $88 (was $135), or the HeroQuest: First Light set that's available for $50. As mentioned above, HeroQuest is a more streamlined, board-game-style TTRPG that is perfect for anyone who wants to try out TTRPGs or who prefers the more tactile, mechanics-driven experience of a tabletop game with the aesthetics and crunch of pen-and-paper games.HeroQuest Board GameHeroQuest -- $88 ($135)HeroQuest: First Light -- $50 Against the Ogre Horde Quest Pack -- $34 ($45)The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness Quest Pack -- $35Jungles of Delthrak Quest Pack -- $34.36 ($45)The Mage of the Mirror Quest Pack -- $34.36 ($45)Prophecy of Telor Quest Pack -- $31 ($34)Return of the Witch Lord Quest Pack -- $41Spirit Queen’s Torment Quest Pack -- $34
