UPDATE - over at Raging Owlbear, you can see a short Q&A with Stan! who
wrote the adventures and who notes that "ST [Stranger Things] is set in
1983/84 and the FR [Forgotten Realms] boxed set wasn't published until
1987". Does this mean that the adventure is set in a different setting,
such as Greyhawk?
