TheLEGO Dungeons and Dragons set is without a doubt, one of the most exciting and impressive sets of 2024, and after immersing myself in the build, I can safely say that LEGO and Wizards of the Coast have come together to produce an exceptional set.

Next we have the two non-player characters (NPCs), the innkeeper Alax Jadescales, and the evil sorcerer Ervan Soulfallen. Alax is a dragonborn and his minifigure has a really nice tunic, and I love the printed details on his legs.


Next we have an Owlbear, another DnD cornerstone, and this is also a pretty nice creature build. there are some nice details like its claws, and the use of different colours and slopes to give it a shaggy look.


The adventurers begin their journey at the Inn, aptly named Inn Plain Sight. The Inn is operated by Alax Jadescales, but in the campaign is run by Merry Rumwell, who is Ervan in disguise, and has imprisoned Alax somewhere else after assuming control of the Inn.


Moving up the tower, we encounter a 5-headed dragon shrine, with a mysterious dragon orb in the middle! DnD fans will immediately recognise this as a shrine to Tiamat, the 5-headed queen of evil dragons!


Awesome review!

I am currently half way through the build and I love this set.

As a dungeon crawl boardgamer and D&D fan this was a must buy. There are so many things to explore here. When finished it will get a prominent place on one of my hobby room.


A lot of D&D is about the players exploring and discovering the story as they go, and it relies heavily on the heroes not being able to see a lot of the information. The DM guides the players through the story (or lets them go off in their own direction and builds the world out as they explore.) The DM also needs to adjudicate the rules when things are unclear.


Dragons are the apex of all living creatures. Anyone who slays a dragon gains great fame and fortune,[1] as dragon parts are extremely valuable if in pristine condition. However, as dragon parts are fairly large, transporting them back to the surface for valuation is the biggest issue facing dragon hunters[2] - a lot of equipment, manpower, provisions and funding go into such trips. Dragon hunting is also particularly dangerous. As a result, dragon hunting is not as lucrative as it may seem.[1]


Research on dragons is particularly extensive (comparable to what is known about Walking Mushrooms), with those in the field being able to identify a dragon's age, sex and habitat based on the noise they make with their tongues. This means new theories on dragons are proposed yearly, and are subsequently expanded upon and refined. In addition, there are a number of legends and stories featuring dragons, as well as many famous dragon products and tourist spots.[1]


Dragons tend to be extremely large creatures that dwarf the average adventurer (excepting nightmares). Red Dragons, Green Dragons and White Dragons in particular also share the same build - four legs, a long pointed tail and a lizard-like snout. Apart from this, however, there are little to no similarities between the different species of dragon.


Dragons are considered the apex of all living creatures.[1] As a result, they are only threatened by the presence of another dragon.[3] This can be used to get out of a dangerous situation by sneaking away while the dragons fight amongst each other.[4]


Each species of dragon possesses unique and powerful abilities which they use to incapacitate their prey. Some use fiery[5] or icy breath[6] to destroy their victims, while others use toxic gases.[7] The oddest among them are nightmares, which trap their victims in bad dreams and feed on their emotions.[8]


Dragons in general are said to spend most of their time in slumber to maintain their large bodies and thus take a while to digest their food.[9] (This presumably excludes nightmares, which are the size of a small mollusk.)


Hi @GerberGEEK, I would recommend a station based on video game soundtracks like Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, and Halo. They create a good epic feel without being too dramatic. You might want a separate station for boss battles based on artists like Two Steps From Hell. If you want some starter stations, feel free to use mine: Overly Dramatic Film Scores Video Game/Movie Soundtracks: Songs for Epics Songs of Quiet Courage


You could create playlists like Combat, Exploration, Nature, Nautical, Taverns, and Spooky. Skyrim has great background music for exploration. I created a playlist with my favorites here. If you're looking for something authentic, Pandora has a lot of nature sounds including dozens of tracks from the Disney nature films. You can find music for taverns from Skyrim, Dragon Age 2, and an entire album of bard songs from Dragon Age Inquisition.


You can curate a playlist and hit random but be careful about letting it slip to Autoplay. Autoplay is nice but it may select some off the mark tracks. Unless you don't mind Tom Petty showing up in the middle of a dungeon crawl.


Thanks for trying @bp4437, but I still can't access your playlists. I'm only a Pandora Plus user, but I should still be able to listen to your plalyists with ads. I suspect your account is set to private. You can change that by following these instructions:


This thread is cool, thanks! Was in a Pathfinder group for a few years, maps based on H.P. Lovecraft - so we often listened to dark gothic shoegazing type music (we would have listened to dark gothic fishgazing music if we could find it LOL)


Usually, when reading manga, I love to listen to my Nujabes Station. It's a low-fi and instrumental hip-hop genre station and keeps me relaxed and intrinsically motivated when reading.


Also included is a sticker sheet. While I normally avoid stickers as much as possible, all of these were easy to apply, and I especially like the look of the three book covers on the south end of the sheet. An accompanying brown envelope contains all the fabric parts: two dragon wings and three minifigure capes.


Bag 6 begins the grounds outside the inn and ruined castle. Again, I marvel at the wonderful color palette chosen here, contrasting dark blue water with bright green and tan shores. In the northwest corner, some transparent tiles are added to show some disturbed water.


Bag 7 fleshes out the dungeon aspect of the ruins, creating a chamber to house a pair of gelatinous cubes, one big and one small. For the uninitiated, these monsters tend to pick up items from their surroundings, including the occasional foolish adventurer. So be careful not to get sucked into that trans-light blue Jello! This room is littered with plenty of bones, debris, and loot. And if you can take out all the monsters, a magical staff hiding in the corner could be yours.


Finally we arrive at the last bag, number 32, which holds the pieces for the head. This may be the best-designed portion of the set, giving the red brute the perfect attitude for a D&D dragon. I particularly like the use of the broom bottoms in tan to form the horns crowning this monster.


We start off with the Elf Wizard and Orc Rogue. The wizard is equipped with a spellbook and three distinct pages, as well as a quarterstaff for casting. Their blue robes have back printing on the torso only, but each head contains two expressions. The rogue has their quintessential cloak in dark blue. Armed with daggers or a crossbow, the figure has light blue leather armor showing on the front and back of the torso, but their head only has printing on the front.


Next up we have a Gnome Fighter and a Dwarf Cleric. The fighter has half plate armor as a neck piece, and wields either a longsword or a short sword and shield. Their displacer beast print with a yellow and orange background has become one of my favorite LEGO shields. With eared hair and the shortest minifig legs, our fighter has front and back printing on the torso and both head variants. Meanwhile, the cleric comes with a warhammer and holy symbol. Their beard covers some dark turquoise chainmail, accented by shoulder pauldrons in gold. From the back, that turquoise print continues, along with reverse-side printing on the heads as well. The black eye is an excellent touch!

Copyright is the right to print copies of a specific work. You can, to a limited degree, copyright a character outside the context of a particular work, but that gets very complicated very fast in the sense of "how much difference is enough?"


Generally, copyright in the context of tabletop gaming is extremely limited. You can't copyright game mechanics -- nobody can own the concept of "+4 to hit" or "AC 12", nor the concepts of Feats or Classes. The rules as a conceptual thing cannot be owned. You can, however, copyright a specific expression of the rules. So you can write a game that functions the same as D&D using your own words and expressions, and that is legal, but you can't use the exact text WotC has printed and claim it as your own separate game (and again this can get complicated because tweaking a word here or there isn't enough to count as a new work).
