LONDON - iSportsWire -- The OGL controversy and subsequent U-turn caused a lot of stress for Dungeons and Dragons fans, but a new survey from geek goods retailer Merchoid shows that it hasn't exactly hampered interest in the upcoming D&D movie release.

"We always wanted to play D&D but never got to it. After the Demogorgon in S01 of Stranger Things, we got to it." One respondent said. Roughly 50% of Stranger Things fans are planning to watch the new D&D movie when it comes out in a few weeks time.

In a survey of over 2,500 self-proclaimed D&D and Stranger Things fans, Merchoid learned that:
- Fans are divided over their expectations of "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves", with 50% expecting it to be 'terrible', 'meh' or 'disappointing' - or saying they don't know what to expect - and 50% expecting it to be 'great', 'ok' or 'good'
- Despite this, around 76% of D&D fans overall are planning to watch the movie when it comes out
- D&D fans who watch Stranger Things are more likely to watch than those who don't - 80% of those who are fans of both franchises plan to watch Honor Among Thieves, compared to 68% of those who only like D&D
