SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Oh noes a specialty hobby item is expensive. Who knew like many other hobbies. I would sell it at the same thing if I could.

You're more than welcome to attack those windmills, but no one who has posted seems to give a fuck beyond, "Oh look, another obvious cash grab."
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

If you were wondering how WotC was going to leverage the DnD IP, now we know. Deals with Converse shoes and Pop-Tarts are also in the works.


This isn't new. D&D has been merchandised since it got popular in the 80's. And expensive Lego sets have been a thing for... quite while now. I'm not sure but at least a decade.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

People have been using Lego for D&D for ages now. It is surprising Hasbro never tried a D&D set before.

But going the HeroLab route was just not the way to go. Sure they got sales. But it can not possibly be as many as it it has been priced better.

I looked at some reviews of it and its ok overall. Which seems to be the reaction. And I think all the little hidden rooms and the mini adventure are a great idea.

Just why did they have to do it this way?
Kre-O made a bunch of official D&D sets like 10 years ago.

They had ballistae and other weapons, stat cards, and game rules. You shot stuff and lego fall down go boom. I got a few sets for the kids and they were pretty fun.

Totally forgot about the Kre-O stuff.

Longer maybe.

But the Herolab stuff tends to be over-overpriced.
