With Stranger Things Season 4 finally out, a particular reference that opens the show in its very first season gets rejuvenated in our heads. Season 1 Episode 1 opened with Dustin, Will, Lucas, and Mike playing Dungeons & Dragons, a fantasy tabletop role-playing game.
Players get to create their own characters within a fantasy setting. They go on adventures, fight adversaries, and gain a lot of knowledge on the way. With such a diverse setting in place, it is only natural for the game to branch out into other territories of media. This gave birth to the 1983 cartoon of the same name.
In this cartoon, we see six kids hopping onto the Dungeons & Dragons ride at an amusement park. It is possible that they have played the game in the past which is why they were excited to go on that ride. However, they find themselves being teleported into a different realm where they must go on adventures and fight evil with their new powers but all the while hoping to get back home.
Several new places such as desolate graveyards, dungeons that can replenish magical powers, and a beautiful valley inhabited by unicorns add to the world-building of the story. This also brings in a range of evil creatures that oppose the main cast but nevertheless boast incredible character designs.
