1) You don’t need to be a D&D nerd to enjoy it

Honor Among Thieves perfectly threads the needle of giving fans what they want to see without confusing the many, many people who have never rolled a 20-sided die in their life. You don’t need to have been a third-level Ranger to understand what a Mimic is, and you didn’t need to know who Mordenkainen was to understand Forge’s vault had some heavy magic protecting it. But for fans, Honor Among Thieves was full of classic D&D references from Displacer Beasts to Owlbears, to even the old ‘80s cartoon.
