[current state of advancement] Hello Folks! This is my first thread in this forum, and I hope you'll find it inspiring and fun. Since I'm a long term LEGO and D&D fan I couldn't resist in buying the set at day one. I really enjoyed it... but... as a D&D fan (and a bit as a perfectionist)... meh, something was missing. But what startled me to this work was actually my wife: (without actually understanding the implication of what she was saying) she told me: "wonderful, U can leave it on that old little table in the lounge!". [ The problem is that my mind understood: "Everything that fits that table can stay there!" So I decided to unpack all my child-era bricks (in last years I only built Technic) and put myself at work. My actual roadmap is something like this: fix some minor issues and details (such as the door trap I'll show at the end of this post); [DONE] extend the inn to fit stairs to reach the upper floor; [DONE] add a proper kitchen (because it can have a role in the "Red Dragon Tale" adventure, if U want to play it); [DONE] complete the back of the tower (within the limits of 'that little old table"); [DONE] create a proper dungeon (yes, because if the red dragon is a proper D&D Dragon, well the dungeon not so much) that extends one floor under the whole set; [DELAYED] (possibly) create a Dragon Hall at floor -2. [WIP] This is my dream, and any comment or suggestion will be appreciated. Hope to post updates soon! Cheers Grin

My mods of the D&D figures from the Collectible Minifigures line as well as from set 21348 Red Dragon's Tale. Figures that did not come from either but have benefited from their parts are also included. Note that not all of the minifigures are modded. Some such as Strahd, Szass Tam and the Lady of Pain are as sold. Most of the parts are LEGO. Only four of the pieces are third party. I did use a couple of non-purist techniques. Overall though, they're close to purity. -
We're back again with another CMF review! I bought a number of individual space figures but wasn't interested in getting 3 copies of each one so I skipped buying a case of the Series 26. However, as a castle builder I was highly interested in the D&D CMFs. As Lego still won't sell a full case I bought mine from the same store as before. This review still won't be as good as Whitefang's, but hopefully it'll help you decide whether these figures are worth pursuing or not. Before we get into the review let me say that I've never played D&D so many of the references in this series go over my head. My knowledge of D&D is limited to what I learned from watching Community and Stranger Things. However I can certainly appreciate the amount of detail that went into these even if I don't know all the source material. With the introduction of QR codes on the boxes, finding figures using an app has become the new normal. If you're interested in knowing the order of the figures in my box let me know and I'll share it. But I'm going to assume you've all fallen for the Brick Search ads and downloaded the app. I do not endorse the app, though I did use it to see if it would work for the D&D series (it did). If someone from Brick Search reads this feel free to share some insight in the comments, but the site/app clearly has a lot of money to spend on SEO because I see their adds everywhere. For a "free" app, I have to wonder how they are making all that money and what information of mine they are collecting and selling. But enough about online data concerns, first up are the Elf Bard, Gith Warlock, Halfling Druid, and Dwarf Barbarian. Each of these comes with both a male and female, dual sided head. Bard I'm not a fan of the gaudy color scheme for the Bard. The magenta scarf and gloves especially seem too bright for other castle/fantasy settings. Thankfully those are easily removable/changable. The silver lipstick on the female head however can't be changed. The new hairpiece for the Bard is excellent and I hope Lego gives it to use in more colors. Gith Speaking of which, I love that they re-used the hairpiece for the Gith Warlock and gave it yellow ears. This is especially nice for the builders who still like to use all yellow minifigures in their MOCs. Halfling The Halfling is fantastic all around. The brown cape looks great and it's nice to get a different cut for it. I also really like the mutton chops on the male head. The sparrow also looks fantastic with it's white crown. Dwarf I love the torso and fur-collar combo, but I feel like the dwarf is really missing having a beard piece. Female dwarves are known to have beards too, so this would have been a great chance for Lego to include it. The hairpiece is necessary for the collar to work, but it's not my favorite for a dwarf figure. The new axe head is amazing though. Next set includes the Mind Flayer, Aarakocra Ranger, Dragonborn Paladin and Tiefling Sorcerer. Only the Tiefling comes with different heads. Mind Flayer As far as being able to re-use figures for other castle settings the Mind Flayer is very limited. You could use the robe for a villain, but it's pretty limited outside that. Aarakocra Our bird friend is also more limited but has a fantastic torso that can be used in many scenarios. The puppy is cute, but I would have rather gotten a more exotic pet. Dragonborn The beefy armor is fantastic and I love that the torso underneath is so detailed. The new mace piece needs to show up in other colors as it'll make fantastic pillar toppers. Tiefling The tail not having purple printing in front is too bad. Lego did that with Monkie Kid figures to I know it's possible. The dragon mold is incredible. The last set includes named characters: The Lady of Pain, Szass Tam, Tasha the Witch Queen and Strahd von Zarovich. Lady of Pain She is my least favorite out of all the characters. The least re-usable potential and her accessories aren't interesting to me. Tam I like the re-colored, classic skeleton head. Tasha Great details on the torso and legs. The arms are especially re-usable. Strahd He looks ok, but the bit of sand-blue fur on the right shoulder seems a little odd. There are decent number of extra parts (the top part of the photo) with the best being the extra Gith knife. There are also a great number of new molds and re-colors. The dwarf axe has an anti-stud on the bottom allowing you to attach it to light-saber handles, torches, or other pieces to add versatility to your weapons. Also of interest are the base plates. I have hundreds of the plain black bases so for me it's great to get some variety. Having something like the Disney symbol means the versatility is nil. But the stars for series 6 and the cobble stones here are fantastic. I imagine we'll see them used on lots of MOCs. Verdict? SCORE DESIGN 9 Even if you aren't a D&D player it's easy to appreciate the designs in this series. PARTS 9 There are some really great parts. I won't be filling my castle with walking brains. But expect to see some trans-red skeleton head bottles and axe wielding figures in my future MOCs. VALUE FOR MONEY 10 Buying a case is money well spent. Using something like an app to get the figures you want would also work. If you're going in blind and hoping to not get The Lady of Pain then it's a gamble. But overall this series is certainly a good value. FINAL SCORE: 9 Lego keeps out-doing themselves. My biggest complaint is with the named characters. I wish Lego had stuck to all generic characters and let people build their own von Zarovich's. But this is still a solid series.

Elf Delve Neddi was an elf who loved the sunlight and the soil. She tended to her garden with care and joy, using her knowledge of herbs and plants to create potions and remedies. But lately, her plants had been wilting and dying, afflicted by a mysterious blight. The only cure, she learned, was a rare ingredient: the luminaria fungus, a glowing organism that thrived in the darkest depths of the Nyx caves. Reluctantly, she agreed to venture into the underground realm, accompanied by her two acquaintances: Rhalyf, a curious wanderer from the south, and Folgaen, a clever and daring warrior. They made their way through the winding tunnels, facing dangers and wonders along the way. They reached a large cavern, where a small lake shimmered under the light of crystals. A water wheel turned slowly, powering a broken chain of gears. A wooden bridge spanned the lake, leading to a door on the other side. Folgaen was the first to cross the bridge, confident and curious. He stepped lightly on the planks, humming a tune. But halfway across, he heard a loud crack. He looked down and saw one of the boards break under his feet. As Folgaen falls towards the water, you hear him scream and see him grab the rope. You also see something else: a pair of yellow eyes emerging from the depths. Roll for initiative.

According to Promobricks, a reliable source of information, LEGO will be releasing an Optimus Prime Transformer. It was previously thought impossible that LEGO would ever do Optimus Prime as the Transformers are IP belonging to Hasbro, one of LEGO’s main rivals. But it looks like LEGO and Hasbro have put their competitive differences aside. If so, could we also see LEGO Dungeons & Dragons, the latter being another IP of Hasbro’s? Would LEGO minifigures and sets based on D&D interest you? Hasbro has tried something similar before in the form of Kre-O and it wasn’t a huge commercial success, but maybe LEGO can do a better job. What do you think?

When I first saw pictures of Gargantos from set 76205 Gargantos Showdown, I thought 'if I flip that beauty over, I'll have the beginnings of a cool beholder.' And that's exactly what I did! I bought it almost as soon as it was released, but rather than build it entirely as instructed, I modded it as I went using building techniques running in opposite directions: up-to-down and down-to-up. For those who don't know, a beholder is a classic D&D monster from the game's earliest days. They can take many forms and colours but all the 'true' beholders have one central eye, a mouth and 10 stalks each ending in an eye. Here's mine:

This was originally made for idea D&D contest, but after talking about the gelatinous cubes I made for this in D&D thread I realised I never posted it here. Sadly enough I think it never even made it to voting stage as though I uploaded it before the deadline (only just), I think it had to be verified or whatever before the deadline too. These pictures are relatively low res as I had originally rendered it at too high a quality for ideas and I might have over-compensated when rerendering. The idea was to have a functional DM screen (a screen used to hide the game master's plans and dice rolls form the players) with integrated dice tower (a way of rolling dice, you drop them into the top of the tower and they are knocked on bumps on the way down that helps give a random roll), that also function a minifig scale D&D display. Also included are a dice tray (styled as a magma pit) for the players to roll their dice into, 6 player minis (though I've never actually used minis when playing D&D), 9 monster minis, 2 brick built D6s and a large selection of additional parts and accessories to customise the minis. The main build of the DM screen has a cave dungeon a base with the ground above and a tower with some minor fortifications built atop of that. The left side of the tower functions as the aforementioned dice tower, whilst the right side has storage space inside for the surplus accessories not currently in use by the minis. The owner of the tower is a pale Tiefling nobleman inspired by a particularly memorable session of D&D that I played. I've decorated the ground around the tower with plants, and a washing line. Here's a back view of the build. The curved sections of the roof can be opened to put the dice in, and the will come out in the tan courtyard area on the ground level. There is a goat, that is a given in any ideas project I submit where one could possibly fit, and actually I've included 2 here, the other one is round the front nibbling on the washing line. The amount of spare parts for character customisation is definitely far more generous than Lego would actually ever be. Here are the Minis! (Well actually I forgot one, I was rendering this in quite a rush at the time, but its a goblin (you can call him Boblin) and can be seen in the other images). First up the player minis, the default selection is a tiefling rogue, a human bard, a half-elf ranger, a water genasi sorcerer, a half-orc wizard and a dwarf paladin. the monster minis are a skeleton warrior, a Storm Dragon (It's called dungeons and dragons so I had to include both a dungeon and a dragon.), 2 gelatinous cubes, 3 Kobolds, a Beholder and the aforementioned goblin. Of course the build can be enclosed, the small area with the crates is attached with axels allowing it be moved for a fully shut shape but there are also a few other places it can attach. here you can also see a better look at the dice tray with a golden statue that may well be the treasure our party of adventurers is seeking. talking about the adventurers here you can see that I have remixed them using the surplus parts and accessories that I've included. And here is a look at it enclosed from the front, where I think it makes for a decent display set, as well as being functional when opened up. Finally we have look at how everything included looks head on.

Hi all, I'm new here, but I'm an old term member from LUG Brasil along with Fantu. Fantu had told me about the latest Dragon Building Contest, and convinced me to take part on it. I had built an dungeon to show in our yearly fan event, and the Beholder is supposed to be the dungeon boss. Beholder3 by luiz carlos pina franca, on Flickr

Hello! My entry for LEGO IDEAS/Dungeons and Dragons challenge. Wanted to build this kind of MOC for a really long time and finally competition motivated me to do that. Tried to connect two worlds - real one where players are sitting by the table and fantasy one where they go using their imagination and PRG system. Hope that you like it. ;) Team of brave adventurers has to stop Dark Wizard! Will they succeed in this mission? Will the troubadours sing songs in their honor? Will there be piece in the kingdom? Or maybe mom will call everyone for a dinner earlier? If you enjoy my build, visit LEGO IDEAS and leave some comment there: https://ideas.lego.com/s/ca:4f2c4e577acb4076afbe76de46e273d4

ORAKNUNKARO, I pronounced for the third time in a sequence, and with a whisper, a cold wind swept across the room. The dim light of a candle danced and weakened, but survived to expose the blank pages of my unwritten book. From the stillness of the fabric, a red drop tainted the empty surface from within. A spot became a puddle that turned into a lagoon of crimson velvet. I glanced into the forming mirror, and from the other side, a lean figure stared back at me with empty eyes and a raw smile. It didn’t say anything, but of course, it didn’t have to. For those probing eyes that read my thoughts were none other than my own. __________ This is an entry for Week II of the Style it Up Contest by InnovaLug. The proposition was to build something 100% symmetrical. I took this as another opportunity to build outside of my usual castle-medieval theme again. Also, make sure to check my other entries for this contest: Week I: Stag in the Shadows Week III: Self distancing countermeasures Week IV: Yet to come Hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
