Introducing the Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club D&D Box Set

Get ready to roll for initiative and dive back into the mysterious world of Hawkins, Indiana, because Wizards of the Coast has just announced a thrilling new Dungeons & Dragons collaboration: Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club D&D Box Set! This exciting new product is set to launch on October 7th, 2025, perfectly timed to build anticipation for the highly anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things on Netflix.

For fans of the hit Netflix series, the Hellfire Club needs no introduction. It’s Hawkins High School’s official Dungeons & Dragons club, famously led by the charismatic and metal-loving Dungeon Master, Eddie Munson. The club played a pivotal role in Season 4, and its members—including Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair—found themselves entangled in the terrifying events plaguing Hawkins.

 

What Makes This Box Set Special?

Unlike the previous Stranger Things D&D Starter Set, which focused on “Hunt for the Thessalhydra” (Mike Wheeler’s original campaign from Season 1), the “Welcome to the Hellfire Club” set aims to bring players into Eddie Munson’s unfinished adventures. This new box set promises to be a deep dive into the unique flavor and narrative style of Eddie’s campaigns, offering fans a chance to “finish what Eddie started.”

Here’s what we know so far about what this exciting new box set will contain:

  • Four Unique Adventures: The core of the set will be four distinct D&D-style adventures. Each of these is loosely connected to the first four seasons of Stranger Things, allowing players to experience narratives inspired by the show’s iconic events and themes. These adventures were created in close collaboration with Netflix and the Stranger Things team, ensuring an authentic experience.
  • A “Welcome Letter” from Eddie: Get ready for some serious immersion! The set will include a special welcome letter from Eddie Munson himself, setting the tone for your Hellfire Club experience.
  • Quick-Start Guide: Perfect for both seasoned adventurers and those new to the world of D&D, a quick-start guide will help you get rolling with minimal fuss.
  • Pre-Generated Character Sheets: Dive straight into the action with pre-generated character sheets for five characters. These will span across three different levels of play, offering flexibility for various gaming groups.
  • Character and Monster Tokens: Bring your battles to life with character and monster tokens, allowing for visual representation on your battle maps.
  • Cards for Magic Items, Monsters, and Spells: Streamline your gameplay with convenient cards for quick reference of key game elements.
  • Poster-Sized Maps and Handouts: Each adventure will come with its own individual poster-sized map and accompanying handouts, enhancing the storytelling and tactical elements of the game.
  • Double-Sided “Greyhawkins” Poster: A true collector’s item, the set will feature a double-sided poster. One side will depict “Greyhawkins,” Eddie’s imagined realm from Stranger Things, while the other will showcase a Hellfire Club poster. This “faux-nostalgia aspect” with “specially crafted components that lean into the look and feel of the show, modern ’80s trends, and Eddie’s love for rock music” is designed to fully immerse players in the world.
