Brother in law loves Stranger Things, has never played DND – asked me to DM a one-shot during an AirBnB visit to the Byers house /u/coordinatedflight DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Title explains the situation. I know Stranger Things has a reputation all its own here, so please save any extra spice – this is a gift for family.

I’m wondering, what would be a fun Stranger Things oriented one-shot that is approachable enough that totally new players could enjoy it? Presumably new players might enjoy a physical map. Probably a good thing if we have pre-made characters available (I can handle that part).

While I love homebrew, I think homebrewing might be a bad idea (my homebrew one-shots always turn into 3-4 sessions).

I know there is a Stranger Things DND starter set, but not sure how well enjoyed it is. I also don’t think it comes with enough mini’s for the physical map.

Really hoping to make it a super fun experience for everyone. Thank you!
