Not sure these count as actual spoilers but placing the warning anyway. Definite spoilers in the comment thread.
So I finished watching Stranger Things and it has me thinking in terms of gaming as usual. So I thought I’d toy around a bit with assigning the characters some Playbooks.
It seems a lot like there’s three parallel campaigns going on until they come together in the end.
The Party
Mike – The Snoop / The Flake
Dustin – The Expert
Lucas – The Hard Case / The Wronged
Eleven – The Spooky
The Teens
Johnathon – The Wronged
Nancy – The Mundane
The Adults
Chief Hopper – The Professional
Joyce – The Flake
I tried to keep away from repeating but was difficult with the kids.
Steve belongs with The Teens too
Yeah. Came late. Think Nancy goes Hard Case and Steve comes as the new Mundane.
Alternately might work better as an Urban Shadows game as the focus is on conspiracy mostly.
actually you don’t need to explain that.
At two concurrent campaigns and each episode about 53 minutes, that’s about 26.5 minutes per campaign…that means each campaign has about 212 minutes per campaign which is about 3:32 in gameplay time…so it works out about perfectly for being a one-shot of two campaigns, say, run at a convention from two tables whose keepers are in communication.
