As mentioned at GenCon - Stranger Things
« on: August 15, 2023, 01:55:51 AM »
So I mentioned at GenCon that ICE had a brief cameo in Stranger Things. At the end of season 1 episode 8 (~41:15) Will is in his hospital bead and his brother brings him some things so he doesn't get bored. If you look at the back item in the box its and old Dragon Magazine and you will recognize the back cover is an ad for The Fellowship of the Ring game by ICE. Moreover as there is a timeline attached to the show - it starts on November 6th, 1983, that means this Dragon is either #77 (Oct '83) or  #78 (Nov '83).  True, it could be others, but it is proof that the show runners were good about the consistency of Stranger Things. Happy gaming all!

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
