I want a picnic so bad. I’m going to become a solo picnic master once it gets warmer. I feel like it’s never really occurred to me that I’m allowed to eat my lunch wherever I want to.

Some of my favourite references for the WSQK which I’ve not really seen anyone talk about are!

• Vance’s name obviously an anagram for Vecna but D&D Vecna was actually an anagram for Vance in the first place as he was named after fantasy SI-FI writer Jack Vance

• References made by Vance and Update-Guy to the Orson Welles Radio adaptation of War of The Worlds ( a radio play which mimics a real radio while being scripted like the WSQK ). Vance make’s off handed remarks about why Aliens would come to America but what’s a more interesting nod is during the new year’s countdown where Update-Guy complains that listeners are calling in and jamming up the phone panicking about Aliens ( something that happened during the broadcast of war of the worlds according to biased newspapers )

I find it funny that in the American Tomodachi they make the character talk about monster trucks and the English version they make them talk about coffee.

POV: you go to a party in a dress and head piece you get because your under the impression that it totally gives off 70s medieval revival meets starwars only for everyone attending to complement you because they think it gives off art deco 1920s Egyptian-Mania.

You lose some you win some.

D&D in Stranger Things (and its many inaccuracies to do with classes)

OKAY so I am seeing so much misinformation about dungeons and dragons in stranger things online right now particularly on Reddit where I’m seeing people apply 5th edition rules to stranger things where they literally play BECMI AND ADVANCED D&D! So this is for anyone who wants a break down of the characters’ broken D&D classes!

To begin in the first seasons on stranger things the main party play Basic and Expert dungeons and dragons (aka BECMI) this is important because if you play 5E D&D the rules are really different. For starters what we consider races and classes are fused into one category which means being a halfling counts as a class like fighter although race adjacent classes are categorised as Demi-humans they are still a class and magic users have to always be human.

This all breaks apart though when you look at some of the Parties D&D OCs in season 1:

Will: Elf, Cleric and magic user

Dustin: Dwarf, Bard

Okay so because race and class are the same thing in BECMI you can easily look at these characters and assume that they are multi classing right? Except multi classing isn’t a thing in BECMI so how is Will three different classes and Dustin two when you can only be one, the only way I can justify the writers doing this is if you say that the party are using dual classing rules from Advanced D&D and fusing them with BECMI even though it’s implied that the party only started playing AD&D in season 2 as that’s the first time we see one of the books which really begs the question of why don’t the party just play advanced then if they prefer the rules? Also another point is Dustin’s character being a bard which yet again is not a class in BECMI… but is in AD&D

Also side tangent but Will’s character is actually so overpowered because BECMI classes are really unbalanced so for him to be playing a Demi-human and a magic user is really overpowered and I don’t know why Mike would allow him to do that.

I think the conclusion of this is not everyone wants to read an 80s D&D manual for 100% accuracy and sometimes it makes more sense plot wise to change the rules for a tv show and honestly it doesn’t matter if their game is accurate or not :)
