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.
My favorite comment on playing D&D in the 80s was one dudes mom that claimed it was satanic and sat in on a session.
She ended up storming out after exclaiming “This is just math!”
It tickeled me. Especially thinking about this mom sharing her survalence of D&D at her next Sunday church gathering…
