About the adventure

Step into the world of Stranger Things and pull up a chair at Eddie Munson’s legendary Hellfire Club table. Welcome to the Hellfire Club is a brand-new Dungeons & Dragons adventure inspired by the show’s most iconic campaign—the one that started it all. Designed for 3–5 players using D&D 5e rules, this adventure bundle recreates the thrill, danger, and camaraderie of Hawkins’ favorite pastime, bringing the excitement of the show to your table. Players will take on the roles of Eddie’s friends and fellow club members as they face monsters, solve mysteries, and confront the line between imagination and reality. Each session blends ‘80s nostalgia, classic fantasy dungeon-delving, and cinematic tension straight out of Stranger Things. Whether you’re a newcomer rolling dice for the first time or a veteran seeking a nostalgic romp through the Upside Down, you’ll find plenty of adventure—and heart—within these stories. The campaign features four connected mini-adventures originally written for the Hellfire Club itself, featuring puzzles, combat, and eerie encounters that echo the themes of friendship, courage, and the unknown. You’ll battle strange creatures, explore shadowed lairs, and maybe discover that what starts as a game isn’t always confined to the table. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and anyone curious about what makes D&D magic, this is your chance to join the Hellfire Club, roll the dice, and see if you’ve got what it takes to face the monsters of both worlds.

About me

Hi, I’m Darren Ruckle, a professional Dungeon Master with over 45 years of tabletop experience and 4 years as a full-time pro GM. I specialize in tactical, combat-focused campaigns that challenge players to think, plan, and fight smart. My tables reward teamwork, positioning, and smart resource management—where every encounter feels earned and every victory matters. All my games run on a custom-modded Foundry VTT setup with clean automation, dynamic lighting, and high-quality battlemaps built for fast, fluid combat. You’ll spend less time on setup and more time in the action. If you enjoy structured adventures, gritty dungeon crawls, and combat that actually makes you sweat, my tables are for you. I take pride in consistency, clarity, and professionalism—running on time, keeping communication clear, and delivering the kind of tactical experience that keeps players coming back. Let’s roll initiative.
