LEGO is about to get a lot more fantastic thanks to an upcoming collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons.
LEGOis pretty well known for its massive range of licensed collaborations. Star Wars, Marvel,Harry Potter, Lamborghini. The list goes on.
Over the years the company has managed to publish sets for every type of nerd except one. Not for long though.
As part ofDungeons & Dragons’ 50-year anniversary,The LEGO Grouphas announced a partnership with the perennial RPG. In a short teaser, LEGO revealed that new D&D-themed sets were coming to the LEGO Ideas range.
Time to party up. We’re oozing with anticipation! Are you ready to build awesome adventures?#LEGODnDpic.twitter.com/0gbrxpFLwD
The teaser showed a short clip of a bunch of little LEGO goodies trapped in a deadly Gelatinous Cube. The skeleton Minifigure was a nice touch given that Gelatinous Cubes are famed for their acidic properties that melt the flesh of adventurers foolish enough to be trapped by one.
It functioned as a modular D&D map that players could switch up and use in campaigns on the tabletop. Fans have speculated that any sets in the collaboration could potentially be used for running D&D sessions.
Over the last few years, D&D has undergone something of a pop-cultural renaissance. Moving from the fringes of geek culture into mainstream attention thanks to properties like Stranger Things, Rick & Morty, Baldur’s Gate 3, and more.
