DUNGEONS & DRAGONS at NYCC 2025

It’s currently the Spooky Season, which typically means that the Holidays are right around the corner. I know you might be thinking that it is a little too early to pivot towards the Holidays. However, it never hurts to be prepared. And so, this sounds like the perfect time for me to put these Dungeons and Dragon sets on your radar.

The Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club

I wonder if I need to place a SPOILER WARNING for those that might not be caught up with Netflix’s Stranger Things. So, let me say it here: If you don’t want to be spoiled about a character’s death then maybe you should click away here. Ok? Let’s continue!

The Hellfire Club from The Stranger Things was a safe haven for the young kids of the series. It started as a place for outsiders, free spirits, and dice-slingers. You can continue Munson’s campaign from the Netflix series and uncover all of his secrets. But founder Eddie Munson’s final campaign was left unfinished…until now.

Keep the flames of Hellfire burning in this board game bundle, which includes a collaborative board game — meant for 3-5 players and 1 Dungeon Master — and a digital adventure pack featuring Eddie’s lost adventures. The Stranger Things Welcome to the Hellfire Club Ultimate Bundle invites you to gather the gang – and choose how the story ends.

During New York City Comic Con, I was able to take part in my very first DnD campaign. While I am no stranger to RPGs, it was extremely fun to play through a campaign featuring the character sheets and monsters from Munson’s campaign. I was able to see all the little easter eggs contained within the playset that directly reflected the care he placed into his campaign. This set is perfect for any Stranger Things fan and is welcoming enough for a DnD newbie like me.

And speaking of newbies…

Heroes of the Borderlands

If you have never played a single Dungeons and Dragons campaign before but always wanted to try, then this might be the set for you.

The Heroes of the Borderlands Ultimate Bundle is your complete gateway into the world of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, combining the fast, collaborative storytelling of the board game with the powerful digital tools of the Digital Adventure Pack.With everything needed to start playing in minutes, this is the ultimate way to explore the Borderlands and create unforgettable memories together with your friends.

The starter set has everything you would need to get through a quick DnD campaign. It has all the core features of a typical campaign but streamlined to be completed in a more condensed time frame. This is perfect for those who always wanted to try but felt overwhelmed by the time commitment often associated with beginning a DnD campaign.

Both sets are worth placing on your radar for the upcoming Holiday season. If you or your friends have ever been curious to give DUNGEONS & DRAGONS a try, this might be the perfect time to do so. Feel free to check out both sets featured on the Official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS website.
