Lego’s first Dungeons & Dragons set arrives next month and includes both a Dungeon and a Dragon

After a number of rumors and an eventual leak, Lego has unveiled its first collaboration with Lego Dungeons and Dragons: a new set inspired by the classic tabletop game, just in time for its 50th anniversary. Officially titled the Lego Ideas Dungeons and Dragons: The Story of the Red DragonLego Insiders can pre-order the $359.99 set exclusively from the Lego Store starting April 1, while everyone else can join the initiative starting April 4. Pre-orders placed before April 7 will also receive an additional Lego Dungeons & Dragons Mimic Dice Box.

The 3,745-piece set is the result of a design submitted by Lucas Bolt through the Lego Ideas program and approved in January. The set features a riverside inn next to an ancient fortress, complete with a watchtower and a dungeon below. The Lego Design team iterated on the original model of Bolt (pictured below), adding a removable roof to the tavern and additional details to the crumbling tower and dungeon below.

In total, the set contains six Lego minifigures: an Orc Rogue, a Gnome Fighter, an Elf Wizard, a Dwarf Cleric, a Dragonborn Bard and a Human Thief. A set with just the minifigures will be available from this fall. However, this doesn’t count the impressive brick-built monsters that are also included in the set. In addition to three skeletons, you will also find a Beholder, an Owlbear, a Displacer Beast, a Mimic, a Gelatinous Cube and a small pair of Myconid Sprouts. The highlight of the set, however, is the enormous Cinderhowl Red Dragon, which sits on the stone wall of the fortress.

The set even includes its own accompanying one-shot adventure, created in collaboration with Wizards of the Coast and the Lego Group. The adventure is available to Lego Insiders as a free digital download or as a limited edition paperback for 2,700 Insider points. You can also find the adventure on D&D Beyond, along with character sheets, digital dice, and more.
