Billing a level 1-3 module as "Eddie Munson’s unfinished campaign", which clearly included Vecna, is wild to me. 

I mean.. the artwork alone makes me want to check this out.. 

I agree. This clearly has nothing to do with Eddie's campaign, which they DID finish when they killed Vecna, and is just a cash grab.

OR, hear me out, this is a starter set aimed at the people who are fans of Stranger Things and have never played the game before. We also have to idea what Eddie had prepped.

My point is more that they are saying in the promotional material that it is Eddie's unfinished campaign. Which is untrue because there is no way the campaign they showed in the show, where they fought and killed Vecna, was with level 1-3 characters. It feels very cash grabby to me to say this is a continuation of Eddie's campaign from the show. They would have done better to bill it as the beginning of Eddie's next campaign, found in his belongings after his death. I would say they could have billed it as the beginning of the campaign from the show, but he wouldn't have known anything about Demogorgons or Demo-dogs at that point in time.

No, we're not allowed to have realistic and sensible takes on a product based off a D&D related (not really centric) scifi-horror series.

Gotta have people beat their chests, loudly, about how a level 1-3 campaign, designed around the DM RPing they are running a fictional television character's module, is the most horrifying thing to offer *new* players/fans of said TV show, wanting to play D&D, a chance to play it, lol.

My favorite bit here is "but they're fighting... Vecna *in the show*; how can a level 3 party do that!" - welcome to D&D folks, lol.

Maybe they went back in time to fight Vecna as a baby. Crazy thing to nitpick about - its obviously just marketing.

The content looks cool although I am surprised it is only 1-3. The material looks very similar to the Heroes of the Borderlands Set - seems like it is a reskinned Starter Set, which is totally fine, just not what I was expecting. Would be interested in a breakdown of major differences between the two sets. The art looks good. Looking forward to checking out the adventures.

My main interest is that unlike the other starter set it does seem to have new spells and items listed in it's marketplace entry. 

Heroes of the Borderlands just had new monsters listed, which leads me to think there are actually new things included here. 

What if this is just a diffrent campign that was never finished and not the one seen in the show but that campign was heavily based on this unfinished on but they decided to skip ths lower levels ans that's why it was unfinished 

Wait this is actually SO awesome-

I am not sure what company you work for, but to pay your salary, I assume the organization has to find ways to make money.  This is definitely a nostalgia package that takes advantage of the successful ST series, which, as a teen of the 1980s, I appreciate.  Is it worth the money? I cannot say, but lately WotC has improved their approach to product releases: case in point, the recent Starter Set, which is really good for attracting new people to the game. 

I get it...we all have a dodgy history with WotC (mostly the handiwork of Hasbro's executive stooges), but when something good or interesting is released, well, at the end of the day, I'm just happy that the game which was so intrumental to my teenage years some 45 years ago, is still going strong!
