Lego D&D

[Reynard]

I know that Lego is technically a competitor of Hasbro, but I still can't believe there is no partnership between Lego and D&D. I can't imagine a cooler, more mutually beneficial license. Between actual Lego sets, minis and video games, everyone would make a stupid amount of money.

You mean like this?

This one:

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Finally Gets a LEGO Set

Dungeons & Dragons and LEGO Ideas teamed up to host a contest of fan-built mashup ideas and one set has emerged as the winner.

If there will be a LEGO transformer then there is an opened door for D&D LEGO. I wouldn't be surprised even a LEGO Spelljammer because these has got the vehicles.

Hastro tried a merger with Mattel, but they could reach a deal. Maybe they could try it with LEGO.

I think this is one of those things that doesn't really need a license. Lego has had hundreds, if not thousands, of sets that are themed with medieval castles, magical wizards, dragons of multiple sizes, and oh so many types of knights and other traditional fantasy things.

One of the joys of TTRPGs as a hobby is that you get to build your own reality. Lego also does that (with bricks instead of paper).

I think a Lego set for The Yawning Portal or Strahd's Castle would sell about a million units, and a Lego D&D video game would win Game of the Year.

Didnt Hasbro pulse the yawning portal and it was like 500 bucks?

I don't know what "pulse" means in that sentence.

I’d open my wallet. There’s a gubon the whfrp facebook group who runs his games with legos. I think he’s printing custom parts and pulling from the medieval and pirate sets. I see his posts and am unnaturally jealous.

Pulse is Hasbro's version of kickstarter. They crowdfund items that seem niche. The only one I got from them was Heroquest the baord game.

There is, as people have already posted above.

I guess if the above set does well there may be more. And if it doesn't, there won't.

The movie didn't do well, but Baldur's Gate 3 did. Whether Lego did well with it or not remains to be seen.
