There’s been plenty of excitement building around the historic collaboration between Lego and D&D, and this Lego Dungeons & Dragons leak is only further building hype.Over the roleplaying game’s 50-year run, players have been able to play through exciting adventures across some of thebest D&D books. Part of what makes these experiences so memorable is the characters and creatures that inhabit the world.
With that in mind, Lego needs to tap into these beloved references in order to capture the magic of the iconic TTRPG. Thankfully, if these leaks from Instagram user Pick-A-Penguin are to be believed, Lego have achieved exactly that.
The leaked images show box art for a 3,745 piece set inspired by theLego Ideas winner ‘Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End’,The set’s base is a modular structure consisting of a tavern, a tower, and a garden area: all of which can be separated and displayed separately. However, the real star of this show is the large red dragon figure, which looms over the building breathing fire.
Alongside these adventurers, there are host of creatures (both friendly and otherwise) like an owlbear, a displacer beast, a beholder, a gelatinous cube, and a small army of skeletons. Hidden under the bridge are a group of suspiciously humanoid mushrooms, which I’m really hoping are some cute little myconids. I love those funky fungi.
While we can’t fully verify the leaks' accuracy, a couple of details help strengthen these claims. For one, the silhouettes of the mini figures in theofficial Lego teaser imagealign suspiciously well with those of the figures in the leak.
If the final product is anything akin to what we’ve seen here, it could be a real contender for being one of thebest Lego sets. We won’t have to wait too long to find out more; all will be revealed March 19.What we do know is that the Dungeons & Dragons Lego set will be releasingApril 1.
