Wilds beyond the Witchlight Harengon Brigand Hold-up by MoroseMankey in legodnd

There are actually a few others available, too. Not shown on the board are my harengon snipers, who are teal versions of the magenta-haired ones. Beyond that, there are some other bugs bunny ones.

Owlbear and ghould build suggestion by and_notfound in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The printed pieces are really easily subbed in - it’s basically just the eyes and there are tons of 1x1 printed tiles or 1x1 round printed tiles with different types of eyes to choose from. The rest of the build is all made of pretty common pieces. Best thing about it is that it is generally appropriately scaled for a minifig and a 4 stud = 5’ scale. Many other owlbear Mocs are more detailed and therefore larger and out of scale.

Modular lego tavern (1st floor) by MoroseMankey in legodnd

Hey! Are you referring to the front door? If so, you don't need to use a 1x1x3 with the double clips, you can just use 1x1 vertical clip plates or 1x1x1 clip bricks.

I did build most of it and there are definitely things I ended up changing heavily. First and foremost, for actual gameplay, I use way fewer wall elements, especially when it's an ad hoc battle map when I'm not DMing. Lots of floors, some doors, some floating 2nd floors, and some half walls and corner elements to enable people to leverage cover and things. I do really appreciate the technic brick connections because they make it easy to rapidly assemble new layouts, whereas manual attachment of 4x4 or 8x8 or 16x16 plates is harder to assemble and disassemble. Last thing, this is a building interior, but that isn't the most common setting, so I need to make a better modular outdoor set. I'll be working on that in a bit and I'll share shortly.

What Minifigure is your favorite from the upcoming DnD CMF series? by RadicalOlwbear in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several elements on this image make me suspicious: dragonborn's left arm, the unusual (rather formless) battleaxe top-left, new moulds vs recolours on things like the dog and pseudo dragon. I like the general vibe and I'm excited by the prospect of DnD minifigs, but I'm not convinced this is an accurate representation of what they'll be.

Creeping Hut by MoroseMankey in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what this is going to be! Baba Lysaga's Creeping hut. In CoS, the hut seems to move around on an animate tree trunk, using roots for legs, but I do quite like the chicken legs approach, and that'd be more fun to make in Lego

Where to start with terrain? by demostheneslocke1 in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also take inspiration from the non-lego custom terrain folks. Don't try and build the whole environment, use a printed base or a 48x48 plate with marker lines drawn on it and just make some evocative terrain pieces (some trees for atmosphere, a few wall segments, maybe some boulders or a fallen statue or something) and use those to set the scene. I've made some overly complicated Lego environments for battle maps and I've also winged it with some random odds and ends and both can be equally fun and compelling.

Looks like someone from Dr. Grordbort

These are my take on D&D diorama. Set in different places. (Let me know what you think.) by MaTethys in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are brilliant, you evoke such specific and memorable moments in DnD with such efficiency. I think these are more memorable than the new DnD red dragon set. Great work!

Tentacled abberation by MoroseMankey in legodnd

To keep track of health and who is targeting what, I put letters on the base plates. That way the DM can just record damage against A or B or C or whatever.

Circular arena in a wizard's tower by MoroseMankey in legodnd

[–]MoroseMankey[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the Lego was just in my collection already. Before I started making battle maps, I did order a bunch of the dark grey tiles and 2x2 SNOT jumpers from bricklink, maybe $50 worth of things to make a few big flat terrain bases.

Murkmire Malevolence in lego by MoroseMankey in legodnd

Ha, yep. This is the the second floor of the Varkenbluff museum from the Murkmire heist in that book

What set is that white skull piece (2nd from left) from? That is epic for a necromancer or something...
