[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8793371, member: 67296"] Oh, interesting! Lets see how these two hobbies intersect in a man's (or woman's) life... LEGO and D&D - At young age, get LEGO for Christmas. Build the kit in 15 minutes and ignore parents saying "well, I thought it would at least occupy you for the evening". Play with the kit for a month or two, then bash it to build something else. Live your LEGO golden age. - Listen to your parents complaining that LEGO are expensive. - Built a ultimate LEGO masterpiece in early teenagehood. Put your LEGO away because they're "kids' toys" and go play "a grown-up game" instead, like D&D. Keep your masterpiece MOC (my own creation) on a shelf in your room, secretly still thinking LEGO are cool. Live your LEGO dark age. - Come back home for Christmas after college. Sleep in your brother's room because your dad converted your old room into a gym. Notice your cool LEGO MOC is still on the shelf. Remember you loved LEGO and that minifigures would make great minis for your new D&D group. - Rescue your 15 bins of LEGO in-extremis when your mom is finally getting rid of "all this old stuff". - Meet future wife, settle down, unbox your LEGO. Rebuilt your last teenage creation now crushed in a bin. Keep LEGO away from baby(ies); bricks are a choking hazard. Play LEGO because your college D&D group fell apart. Live your LEGO renaissance. - Complain that all these new LEGO pieces make it too easy and kill creativity. - Buy more LEGO; one box for the kid(s), one for you. Built stuff. Keep MOCs away from kids; kids are a destruction hazard. Fail at that last point. Rage quit and rebuilt a new D&D group instead. Live your LEGO apocalypse age. - Complain LEGO are expensive. - Sort your LEGO bricks for the 20th time, hopefully the last. Built with your teenage kids. Enjoy all the new pieces allowing creativity to be expressed in new ways. Buy the same kit five times because "they were on sale" and you need that part. Wife rolls eyes, but you [I]do [/I]have that part five times. Live your LEGO silver age. - Listen to your wife complain that your LEGO budget exceeds that of promised kitchen renovations. - Convert older kid's room into a proper LEGO room when they're out to college. Keep their last LEGO masterpiece on a shelf; if it's not a sci-fi creation, it's D&D-esque. Anticipate with dread the day when they'll be back to claim their parts. Finally renovate kitchen. Hum, not sure how this age is called... Lets call it the Kitchen age. Live it up. - Submit D&D-themed MOC to LEGO ideas. Complete full circle. CONCLUSION - Know that if you have young kids, you enter this contest with a serious handicap. - You can either have a gaming room or a LEGO room; choose wisely. - Renovate your kitchen promptly.
