Eddie Munson leads which Dungeons & Dragons club at Hawkins High?

The story behind the answer

Eddie Munson leads the Hellfire Club, a Dungeons & Dragons society at Hawkins High. The club is introduced in season 4 as a group of students who meet to play elaborate tabletop campaigns.

Eddie is the club’s president and Dungeon Master. He is a senior at Hawkins High and becomes a memorable figure because of his intense enthusiasm for heavy metal, fantasy role-playing, and outsider culture. Mike Wheeler and Dustin Henderson are members, while Lucas Sinclair has difficulty balancing the club with his place on the basketball team.

The club’s name refers to the Hellfire Club, a term with historical and fictional associations, but Stranger Things uses it primarily as a dramatic name for the students’ D&D group. Its campaign is not a literal satanic organization, despite the panic surrounding Eddie after Chrissy Cunningham’s death.

The club’s introduction occurs in the season 4 premiere, “Chapter One: The Hellfire Club.” Its game night becomes important because it overlaps with Hawkins High’s basketball championship and helps establish the social pressures surrounding Eddie and his friends.
