Eddie Munson's lost D&D Adventures | 5e Stranger Things Campaign

Creating your character

Character Selection & Setup For this adventure, we will be using the exclusive pre-generated characters included in the Welcome to the Hellfire Club set. These heroes are more than just stats on a page; they are the legendary personas created by the Hawkins crew themselves! How it works: The Roster: You’ll have your choice of the classic Hellfire lineup, including Lady Applejack (the high-damage Rogue), Nog the Dwarf (the stalwart Cleric), and Will the Wise (the powerful Wizard), among others. When: Character selection will happen before the first session via our Discord or the StartPlaying message portal. This ensures we can jump straight into the action once we sit down at the virtual table! Level & Stats: All characters start at Level 1 and are built using the 2024 Core Rules standard array. These sheets are optimized for the adventure, so you don't need to worry about complex math—just bring your roleplaying A-game. Customization: While the mechanics are set, the "soul" of the character is yours. You’ll decide their personality, their quirks, and how they react when the metal starts playing and the monsters start biting. What you need: You don’t need to own any specific books! I will provide the digital character sheets via D&D Beyond or as PDFs. If you are new to the 2024 rules, don't sweat it—I’ll walk you through your abilities as we play.

Preparing for the session

My games will use a Discord for voice/video calls during the session, as well as any digital handouts (maps, items, info, etc.). You can create a free account on www.discord.com Character sheet management will be handled through DnD Beyond. This will also serve as our VTT (virtual tabletop).

What D. Robert (EMTMAN) brings to the table

What I Bring to the Table When you join my table, you aren’t just getting a narrator; you’re getting a fully immersive 1980s cinematic experience. I provide everything you need to feel like you’ve stepped into a basement in Hawkins, ready to battle the forces of darkness. Atmosphere & Sound: I utilize high-quality ambient soundscapes and a curated "Hellfire" playlist featuring 80s synth-wave and classic heavy metal to punctuate our most epic moments. The "Eddie" Style: I lean heavily into character voices and expressive storytelling. Expect NPCs that feel like real people (or real monsters) and descriptions that bring the "Greyhawkins" setting to life. Gameplay Balance: I strike a balance between intense, tactical combat and narrative freedom. While I use the 2024 Core Rules, I am a firm believer in the Rule of Cool—if you describe something awesome, I’ll work with you to make it happen! Digital Tools: I provide all digital maps, high-resolution tokens, and access to the necessary character sheets so you can focus entirely on the game. Our Table Rules & Safety To ensure everyone has an epic time, I maintain a table culture built on mutual respect. By joining this game, you agree to the following standards: The Golden Rule: Treat your fellow players with the same respect and kindness you’d want for yourself. Wheaton’s Law: Simply put—Don't be a jerk. Rating: This is a PG/PG-13 game. The horror is spooky and the action is intense, but we keep the content within the spirit of the Stranger Things show. Player Autonomy: Every player is the hero of their own story. Don’t tell others what to do or how to play their character. Safety First: We use safety tools to ensure everyone stays comfortable. Stop if someone asks you to stop. No questions asked, no explanations needed.
