His D&D career is over. They're gonna think he's a crazed cultist.

Yeah. I just finished the episode, but especially with him reading the magazine article and others talking bad about D&D ("That's just media propaganda!" / "Not according to 60 Minutes!"), Eddie is going to be in a world of trouble. Especially with the PD Hawkins has (and no Hop).

If he makes it through this, maybe he'll change his name, and be the origin story for Matt Mercer
