brick castles: Mega Blocks

[Charles Dunwoody]

I read about the Lego castles in Dragon 324. I also recommend the Dragon sets from Mega Blocks. I've gotten my son a Viking style ship, sea based castles, and am planning to get him a set that comes with a two headed dragon. Same size as Lego bricks. Sam's Club (bulk/discount warehouse) had several sets in a treasure chest last Christmas, so he has a chest to keep everything in also.

Of course, he's only one so I'll have to hold on to them for a few years for him. So I won't get to play with them any time soon!

That logic makes no sense.

You should think of it like this:

Well, I may have opened one or two boxes to make sure all the pieces are there and that they all snap together correctly.:)

Right, because you don't want him to receive something shoddy... ;)

The Mega Block sets are very cool. My boys have a bunch and I play with them all the time. I mean we play with them all the time. If you have not checked them out yet, pick up imaginext by Fisher-Price. My boys love these and you can make some cool things. Besides Fantasy, they have Pirates and some cool modern play sets.

Ever since I started playing D&D again three years ago after taking 15 years off, I have used LEGO's rather than miniatures and battlemats. I have spent way too much money on various LEGO sets at stores as well as random items on EBay.

There are many of the LEGO theme sets that work really well for Fantasy Gaming. They include: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Knights Kingdom and Orient Expedition. I also tend to use many of the LEGO Designer sets such as 4507 Prehistoric Cratures, 4506 Deep Sea Predators and 4101 Wild Collection to use for monsters.

Take a look around the Shop.lego.com site and see all the fun you can have with LEGO's these days related to D20 gaming.

You can see some of the LEGO's in action at two of my campaign sites: Sigil Campaign & Artifact Campaign

I should send this thread's link to Lego. I bet they'd like that. ;)
