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.
