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.
A truly fun way to play D&D, I have found, is to allow all editions simultaneously. First edition fireball is just and arcane version of 5th edition fireball. It takes a little more work to prep, but it’s amazing. The DM can either play from one edition to provide a base for conversions, or, if the depression is winning, also play all editions.
