Lego's Dungeons and Dragons set is ready to roll. Tap here to ENHANCE . Image: Lego Grab your dice and get ready to (literally) assemble your adventuring party next month -- Lego has finally unveiled the 3,745-piece Dungeons & Dragons set it co-developed with Wizards of the Coast as the tabletop roleplaying game celebrates its 50th anniversary. The $360 set, called "Red Dragon's Tale," was inspired by Lucas Bolt's fan design, "Dragon's Keep: Journey's End," and retains many of the same features. There's a tower, a bridge, a tavern with a removable roof, and yes -- both a dungeon and a dragon.

Image: Lego The set also comes with some other iconic D&D monsters. Some, like the skeleton mob and the two myconids (mushroom people, basically), look like minifigs. Others, like the owl bear, displacer beast, beholder, and gelatinous cube, are brick-built, with the latter letting you encase at least part of a victim inside a not-so-gooey prison.

Image: Lego What I like best is that these figurines can serve an additional purpose: Lego is also releasing an adventure book that you can play along with using the set. The book will be available to Lego Insiders from April 1st as a physical paperback or a free digital download and will also be available on D&D Beyond alongside character sheets and digital dice.
