The Dungeons & Dragons Stranger Things Starter Set allows players "to experience the D&D adventure Stranger Things character Mike Wheeler created for his friends". According to the description, the campaign is "Hunt for the Thessalhydra", which would mean the campaign they played on Christmas Eve after Will's return. It includes five Stranger Things character sheets that are based on classes used in the show (like Will the Wise and Dustin the Dwarf). It also includes two exclusive Demogorgon figures (one of which players can paint and customize), as well as detailed rules, an adventure book, and game dice.

If you were excited about playing the Stranger Things adventure, it looks like you won't have to wait as long as originally planned. The set was slated for a release on May 1st, but Amazon began shipping them yesterday, April 1st. At the time of writing, they are listed as "temporarily out of stock" but you can still place an order. Odds are they will restock and ship out soon. GameStop also appears to be shipping them now. Walmart still has the set up for pre-order with a May 1st release date, but that might change - and they offer free 2-day shipping.
