    I know there have been people complaining about the dragon being changed from the submission version, but this interview gave a very important piece of information: Wizards had requirements, and demanded it look a certain way to properly look like a D&D dragon (which the submission did not).
    I am still curious if the dragon from the original submission actually had a good grip on the tower, or if it would have had a tendency to fall off, as it didn't look all that stable to me.

    Just got my set day before yesterday, and oddly the Mimic Chest is due to arrive today. LEGO really should consider a DnD line… there is a rich lore that’s been built up with loads of monsters and settings. Love to see a Troll and a Mindslayer in LEGO form!

      It is almost certain they're doing a CMF line for DnD, there even is leaked concept art for it. Mindflayers will be included

    Seeing the latest big medieval sets and the D&D tower, i like how this set is perfect to be the bridge between the castle and the town (with the stone bridge at one side and the tavern at the other).

    12:38 I wonder which company that is 🤔
    13:17 but the book is exclusive to insiders rewards for a lot of points, it should have come with the set. I'm surprised Tiago didn't ask about that and the GWP not being widely available
    16:29 I'm happy he asked about this, its too bad there couldn't be Lego dice

    At 2:38, the Lego designer said that this is the first time they've issued an IP brief to the platform on Lego Ideas, but if memory serves, didn't they do the same thing for Doctor Who back before identity politics decimated the fan base? Or was that different in the sense that they may not have explicitly asked fans to start creating Dr. Who submissions and just said they would now be accepting them? Either way it meant that everyone was expecting one of the Dr. Who submissions to win, which of course ended up happening.

      Red dragons have a lot of significance in D&D, especially on classic D&D sets like the iconic red box basic set. I imagine that's the main reason.

    I like Tiago, I'm afraid to hit play …why would someone who had never played D&D before be the one doing this interview! 😂

    • @TheCrisses
      @TheCrisses Před 2 měsíci

      Oh! Hah…here's where I'm showing my age. Traditionally, a TTRPG is like reading a book or a story around a campfire, and the players & GM weave a story together with words and each person is imagining the game and may see things in the mind's theatre differently. Table maps, miniatures, scenery, 3d critters, etc…these are putting more conformity and restrictions on the game in many ways…making it more “adult” and more capitalistic, and more profit margins, etc.
      There are so many TTRPGs and so few have any side collateral “toys” and “dolls” (by whatever name our culture will allow adults to play with toys & dolls without shame!). I go back to basic and advanced boxed D&D sets, Traveller, Paranoia, etc. and part of the fun & creativity is that our choices aren't limited to the map the GM has, or the models or landscapes we've purchased…it's an exercise in imagination. We used to just spend $20 and play new games for hours on end.
      That said I still love that there will be Lego D&D toys. I think it's a perfect marriage. I don't have a problem with miniatures and collectables.
      But please never sell RPGs as requiring physical merch to play. That's just corporate greed. If we needed to illustrate a complicated scene we'd toss anything we had on-hand onto the table. This vase is a tree, this stuffie is a dragon, this cardboard box is the Inn, this pepper shaker is the cleric. However, the majority of the time everything was in the mind's eye, not on the table. Even making a character sketch was like ooooooooh! 😂🎉😅
