Wasn’t the eye and hand of vecna things well before they actually created the backstory of vecna? Like his eye and hand were super powerful items, but that was it about the info on vecna. Or am I misremembering the sequence of events
This is correct, and the only reason why Vecna being in Eddie's campaign in Stranger Things makes sense, since that season is set in 1987, and the Vecna campaign didn't come out until a few years later but the items did exist.
Stanger Things plays fast and loose with when things were released. Someone did the math and Master of Puppets likely only came out a mere two weeks before the episode it appeared in takes place. You have to really suspend your disbelief for these things in that show.
I'm aware, haha. I like to think someone in that D&D campaign Eddie ran will eventually write the 1989(? correct me on the year) canon Vecna campaign that would lead into 2e.
That's not the part that's odd. I've know plenty of musicians that could learn a song by listening to it a few times. It's just how close to when he plays it that it came out.
To be fair, of you've known any highschool metalheads, and with the popularity and riff power of Metallica, it's not unrealistic for him to be all over a new release. Especially for Master of Puppets.
Nah, i can def see kids that loved the band back then being able to get it down in a week. Get yourself a tape and keep replaying until you have it as close as you can
