[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7904068, member: 1465"] We use Lego minis for D&D and various bricks to build scenery elements. Of course I'd like it if Lego was allowed to produce D&D specific material, it wouldn't be cheap however... Lego minifigs and their accessories are generally more expensive to produce than simple D&D plastic minis, for example the Lego "collectible minifigs" series cost typically around 3 bucks per minifig nowadays, and [I]licensed [/I]Lego material is even more expensive than regular Lego due to the royalties. On the other hand, there is already a lot of Lego stuff around which works very well for D&D, if you don't mind to adapt them a little bit: we have elves, dwarves, orcs (called "trolls" in Lego sets), goblins, mummies, werewolves, snake-people (use as yuan-ti), lizardfolks, dragonfolks, skeleton, zombies, vampires, wild animals... If anything, one issue is that small-size characters (such as halflings, gnomes and goblins too) aren't really that small, you can use shorter Lego legs but they won't look much different on the ground; sometimes we have used Lego Heroica goblins to represent smaller critters, but then those are REALLY small :) Perhaps the main difficulty is that many of those are not currently on the shelf anymore, and can only be found second hand nowadays... for instance, I wish I had bought more orcs/trolls sets back then when they were on sale, as now I don't have enough for a good "mass" battle. On the other hand I have more vampires I'll ever need :D The current Lego offer on the shelves is not the best for D&D use, because there is no classic "fantasy" or medieval series at the moment, there is only NinjaGo and a modern ghost-based theme called Hidden Side, but Lego themes comes and go so keep an eye open.
