A "level 1 Dwarf", Eddie? Really? You're trying to razz this middle schooler when you're out here running B/X or BECMI or something? #StrangerThings4
...I feel like Hawkins might just be the worst place on the planet to crawl into a K-Hole.
I guess as I think about it, he might have been implying that *she* was only familiar with flavors of boxed-set-basic.

I appreciate that Robin is fully aware that she and The Hair share one brain cell between them.
A thing about Steve Harrington is that if he could get over himself a little bit more (quantifying because he's gotten over a lot of himself) he would LOVE playing D&D with Dustin and company, but he's very invested in a version of himself he thinks will make him happy...
...and the guy Steve Harrington wants to be is someone who wouldn't be caught dead playing a nerd game with a bunch of people who were in middle school 5 minutes ago.
And the thing is that nothing in his life actually makes him as happy as his friendship with Robin, or his friendship with Dustin and the wider circle that connects him to. He can't successfully perform the role of cool kid and it didn't actually satisfy him when he could.
In a larger town with a larger school there might be enough fully developed subculture-y cliques that he could find a crowd he does fit in with better, but in Hawkins, he vibes best with the freaks and outcasts.
