Please welcome the LEGO® Ideas 21348 DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Red Dragon’s Tale set! This incredible build is the brainchild of our Dutch fan designer Lucas Bolt (aka BoltBuilds on LEGO Ideas) who originally submitted his model to the 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons challenge, which was held in collaboration with Wizards of the Coast.
Released in the year DUNGEONS & DRAGONS turns 50, this is the first time the LEGO Group has developed a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS set.
The 3,745-piece set is incredibly detailed featuring a tavern with a removable roof, so you can see inside to the upper level. The set also features a dungeon and a tower. Also included are six LEGO minifigures – Orc Rogue, Gnome Fighter, Elf Wizard, and Dwarf Cleric, plus brick-built monsters, such as a beholder, an owlbear, and a displacer beast. Also featured is the giant Cinderhowl red dragon that builders can wrap around the tower.
The LEGO Ideas product development team also turned to the fan community on the LEGO Ideas platform, giving them a chance to design the cover of the set’s building instructions. The winning design by Chris Yu (aka chainsaw yu 電鋸鋸鋸鋸 on LEGO Ideas) features an epic battle using techniques to create depth in the image while showcasing good against evil centered around the iconic 20-sided die that’s set to determine the outcome. Chris’ design was a celebration of the game's core values of collaboration, creativity, and adventure.
Fans can also get a specially created DUNGEONS & DRAGONS adventure book, created in partnership by Wizards of the Coast and the LEGO Group, to offer a completely new and unique play experience. Available for LEGO Insiders as a free digital download, or as a paperback book for 2,700 Insider points (whilst stocks last). The book is also available at D&D Beyond along with character sheets, a digital dice, and more.
Commenting on his inspiration for the design, Lucas, said, “The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS theme combined with my love of history, fantasy, and making games, inspired me to create a playable layout with different challenges and routes to explore. I had so much fun designing this piece, and it is a real privilege seeing my design developed into a detailed LEGO set to celebrate 50 years of the iconic game."
In relation to bringing Lucas’ design to life, LEGO Design Manager, Jordan Scott, said “Lucas’ design perfectly captured the storytelling excitement of any DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game. Working with the Wizards of the Coast team, we were able to build on his design to co-create a truly authentic DUNGEONS & DRAGONS experience full of details that will excite fans through the building process and beyond.”
“LEGO bricks and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS have been used by fans to generate stories and build adventures for so long that bringing these two creative brands together during our 50th Anniversary felt like a no-brainer,” said Dan Rawson, Global Play Lead on DUNGEONS & DRAGONS and RPGs. “With the amazing LEGO Ideas set designed by Lucas Bolt, the adventure package available on D&D Beyond, and the LEGO Minifigure series coming this fall, fans will have so many new sparks of imagination available to enjoy creating fantasy stories together with friends and family.”
Lucas' incredible concept model was brought to life as an official LEGO Ideas set by the adventuring party consisting of LEGO Model Designers Mark Stafford, Wes Talbott, and Chris Perron, LEGO Graphic Designers Johanna Wurm Jensen, Ioana Popescu, Peter Kjærgaard and Crystal Marie Fontan, and last but not least, LEGO Element Designers Felipe Silva Telles and Yoel Mazur.
