Season 4 begins as a love letter to Dungeons & Dragons as viewers get a glimpse of Mike and Dustin’s ongoing campaign. However, fans on Reddit found an oddity when they noticed a significant mistake made by a supposed expert. New Stranger Things character Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) is the dungeon master of the Hellfire Club, but somehow he gets a basic piece of information wrong.
“Mike and Dustin take Lucas’ sister to Hellfire and Eddie asks her about her DND credentials. He asks her about her class and level and then jokes that she’s a level 1 dwarf,” explained u/cippopotomas. “But Dwarf isn’t a class, it’s a race. The entire show is based on D&D and that’s like 101.” At first glance, this seems like an obvious mistake. Dwarves and elves are races where classes use titles such as rogues or paladins. Though some agreed with the Redditor, others dug deep into Dungeons & Dragons history to find an answer.
Redditor u/Roverboef noted that the game versions of Dungeons & Dragons are not as crisp and dry and gave a succinct story on the forum. “As many old players from the 70’s and 80’s will tell you, people just mixed all sorts of different materials together. Maybe you only had the 1981 version of the Basic D&D Basic Book, the 1983 version of the Basic D&D Expert Book and an Advanced D&D Monster Manual and a few modules.” Of course, the creators also have a certain freedom of design.
