An Official Lego Dungeons & Dragons Set Is On The Way
Lego and Hasbro are teaming up on an official Lego Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set, which will launch April 1 for Lego Insiders and April 4 for everyone else. The kit features everything you would expect from a D&D-themed set, including explorable dungeons, tons of monsters, and customizable characters. Best of all, it even includes its own adventure book, so you can use the new set to play a real D&D campaign.
The 3,745-piece set features multiple modular scenes, including an inn for the heroes to gather, a multi-room dungeon filled with traps and loot, outdoor ruins, and a large stone tower. The set also lets you build a bunch of monsters for your dungeon-delving heroes to battle, including a giant red dragon that’s easily the highlight of the entire display
You can also make well-known NPCs like The Beholder, Gelatinous Cube, Owlbear, and Displacer Beast, plus smaller creatures like skeleton warriors and Myconid mushroom people. There’s also a mini-fig of the evil sorcerer that rules the dungeon. Oh, and Lego Insiders get a free Mimic chest monster as a bonus when they purchase the set between April 1-7. That’s an impressive bestiary for a single Lego set.
Of course, D&D isn’t just about dungeons and dragons. Creating and playing your own custom character is the real draw of the game, and this D&D Lego set includes a collection of mini-figure pieces to mix and match so you can build your own custom adventuring party. Orcs, Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves, Humans, and Dragonborn are all included, and you can equip them with gear and outfits based on D&D classes like Fighters, Clerics, Bards, Rogues, and Wizards.
Hasbro is also launching a Red Dragon’s Tale adventure module to accompany the Lego set. The book includes a prewritten campaign that takes you and your friends through the set’s dungeons and includes all the monster stats and character information you need to play. It will be available as a downloadable PDF or through the D&D Beyond app. Lego Insiders can also spend 2,700 Insider Points to get a limited-edition paperback copy.
Plenty of D&D players already use Lego in place of painted minis for their campaigns, so pairing the Red Dragon’s Tale set with an official adventure module makes sense. You could also use the Red Dragon’s Tale set to play other D&D adventure books, or combine it with additional fantasy-themed Lego sets like the Medival Town Square or Lion Knight’s Castle for even more Lego-based D&D adventures. Lego also announced more D&D-themed Lego sets are on the way, including more D&D minifigures launching in September.
The Lego Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set will launch for $360 on April 4, but Lego Insiders can grab the set early starting April 1.
