Is anyone, besides possibly Sage, interested in more examples of this guy's work? I've finished going through all the pictures, and I have saved the best (which is most) of them to my computer. They are really something, and I think that it shows a wonderful use of LEGOs for D&D modeling. I don't think he actually meant it for D&D, but it might as well have been. There's one, called "The Temple of the Dragon," that looks like a wonderful model for a lair of the Cult of the Dragon. A bit on the small side, but it really looks like something that belongs in a tabletop game.
It also shows some pretty good use of monsters in here. Besides a wonderful asortment of dragons (including a juvenile black), there's an ogre in one, that (unlike the troll figure from the Harry Potter sets) actually moves. There's also a treant, as well as a large griffin.
If anyone is interested in looking at the best examples of this, and doesn't have time to wade through all the pictures, I can post links to what I think are the best examples of the utility of LEGOs in this manner. And not just with this guy, either; I know of some others that have some good models. Artalis, if you're reading this, I'm sure you'd be interested in some models one guy did of some LotR stuff. Bag End, the Prancing Pony, and Helm's Deep. All, I might add, posted before the movies ever came out.
Let me know. If not, I'll only say that you're missing out on what I think to be a wonderful medium for storytelling. I hadn't thought, until I saw that dragon I linked to, that it would be all that good for D&D modeling. Now, though -- now, if I ever join a tabletop, I think I'll suggest that LEGOs be employed. The possiblilities are wonderful. |

Me and my boyfriend are cheap-asses so we just print out the paper fold up things. I've thought about getting some of the chainmail things but their availability around here is almost non-existant. The only place I know of that sells decent D&D stuff is all the way across town from me and I'm just too damned lazy to go there. I am now seriously getting mad at my mother for getting rid of my legos after reading this thread though. Heck, if I still had them I could see myself playing with them just for the heck of it because I'm such a loser. *sobs* I used to be cool...  |
Some people say that I'm heartless. They are wrong though,I have the heart of a little girl . . .in a jar on my desk. |

Then, Canyia, welcome to Loserville -- population: us. 
Next time we talk to each other over the Ethereal Network, remind me to tell you of the things my friends and I are doing. I bet you'll find them interesting. And you might even go out to the nearest toy store and buy some of your own . . . .  |
