Stranger Things 5 has offended me by referencing the sorcerer class, introduced in the 3rd edition of D&D in the year 2000, while the characters would have been playing either 1st or 2nd edition in the 1980s. Having them split hairs that Will is not a wizard but more of a sorcerer feels lazy and is a further indicator that the 1980s aesthetic and the overall quality of the writing have fallen off.

Egregious.

I also don’t have actual problems right now, so I guess this is what I’m doing. So, you know, bear that in mind.

    Did he have more then one D&D one? I know he covered a variety of topics, I just think D&D only got the one. Maybe I’m wrong though, it has been a while.

      Oh buddy. You’re one of today’s (un)lucky 10,000.

      Content warning: child abuse. This is Lisa, one of the most abhorrent, warped, and borderline psychotic examples of fundamentalist evangelism I’ve ever come across. All of Chick’s work is to greater or lesser degrees reprehensible, but at least when the subject matter is a gross misrepresentation of something like DnD, there is comedy to be mined. Not so, here.

        I was asking if he had several DnD specific tracts, not several in general. Sorry if my wording was confusing
