I mean, it would be great for D&D.

But those things aren't games so much as... I don't even know what to call them.

This already exists; it's called Minecraft.

It even uses the "modular" rules system approach that was promised during the D&D Next development period!

I'm sold. I don't really care for the Realms, but I might get into a Realms-based Lego game. If nothing else, it's sure to mock Drizzt.

Really, though, I think the Lego games would be a better representation of the silliness that goes on at an actual D&D table (at least, in my experience) than something like Neverwinter Nights. I say the tie-ins to the hard-cover adventures should be Lego, not NWN. I'd probably get every single one of them to play with my wife (who, as a casual D&D player and video game player, would be an ideal target).

Levity is an underrated aspect of fun.

Agreed. I'm not sure we ever even made it through a game of Vampire: The Masquerade without intentionally breaking the mood. D&D, IME, is more OOC than IC, even for "immersive roleplayers" (which I may resemble, without the emo).

True story. Once had a player at the table that had misunderstood that for a long time. Didn't know "emo," and thought people were talking about "emu," as in flightless birds.

A lot of misunderstanding, as people would be discussing bands, characters, and other things, and he thought they were saying they were ... you know, like an emu.

In retrospect, I wish I lived in his world.
