A new collaboration between Dungeons & Dragons and LEGO will have fans showing off their best D&D-themed LEGO creations. D&D is often seen as an outlet for the creativity of its players, and LEGO is no different. Whether players are using campaign books or building official LEGO sets, or simply following their own whims, both franchises have plenty to offer players wanting to express their creativity.
Dungeons & Dragons has had numerous editions since it first launched, and the 5th Edition has been running for several years. Wizards of the Coast has announced, however, that along with the digital tools to be included in One D&D, an update to 5th edition rules is also in the works. With One D&D drawing closer, as well as the celebration of D&D's 50th anniversary, another titan of the entertainment industry, LEGO, has announced a collaboration event with the popular TTRPG.
A LEGO Ideas post has announced a celebratory event for the upcoming 50th anniversary of D&D. The event will see fans submitting D&D-themed LEGO builds to be judged by the Wizards of the Coast and the LEGO Ideas teams. Successful submissions chosen by the judges will move forward to a fan voting phase, and, in an exciting twist, the post confirms: "all designs that reach the Fan Vote phase, will be eligible to become an official LEGO IDEAS set." The event will run from November 28 to December 12, with an entry deadline of November 14.
Dungeons & Dragons LEGO Event Will Feature Fan Creations
LEGO is certainly no stranger to crossing over with other media franchises, with a recent popular set being the LEGO Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck. True to the spirit of both franchises, however, the crossover event with D&D will provide fans with ample opportunity to show off their creative skills. Perhaps most exciting is the potential for an entry to become a real set, which could mark a new era of LEGO designs in future.
More than just a celebration of D&D's 50th anniversary, the LEGO crossover event will hopefully serve as a celebration of something very near to the core of both franchises; namely, the creative potential of both IPs' most devoted fans. Whether the builds feature D&D's iconic monsters, unique player characters, or famous locations from the franchise, many fans will likely be eager to see just what will emerge from the event. With more on the way for both Dungeons & Dragons and LEGO, exciting times lie ahead for fans of both franchises.
