Dungeons & Dragons LEGO Adventure Is Free to Download Now

Wizards of the Coast has released a new D&D adventure to celebrate their 
collaboration with LEGO.

Dungeons & Dragons has released its tie-in adventure to its massive new 
LEGO set, with fans able to download a copy of the set for free from D&D 
Beyond. Today, Wizards of the Coast released Dungeons & Dragons: Red 
Dragon's Tale, a new adventure that utilizes the set pieces and monsters 
seen in the LEGO set of the same name. The adventure, written by D&D 
game architect Chris Perkins, is made for Level 5 characters, although 
it does feature some interesting story twists to explain how a group of 
Tier 2 adventurers could survive encounters with a beholder and an adult 
red dragon, both of which are present in the LEGO set. D&D Beyond 
account holders can access the LEGO-themed adventure for free, along 
with several digital tie-ins like digital dice.

As expected, Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale is split into six 
scenes, each of which focuses on a different part of the D&D LEGO set. 
Players will start off in a local tavern before eventually traveling 
into a crumbling tower and exploring both underneath it and above it.

Perhaps the most interesting part about Red Dragon's Tale is that it 
contains an alternative set of rules that allows players to play through 
the adventure without using the D&D ruleset. The simplified 1-page 
ruleset utilizes a simplistic ruleset that replaces saving throws with 
coin flips and deals set amount of damage based on what kind of combat 
action is performed on a monster. Additionally, there is a "Knocked 
Down" mechanic that essentially replaces a death throw and dictates that 
any character depicted by a minifigure is knocked down whenever it is 
successfully hit by a "a weapon attack, a damage-dealing spell, or some 
other damaging effect." Once a minifigure is knocked down three times, 
it is removed from the combat encounter.

The Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale is available now at the LEGO 
website for $359.99. The set, released to celebrate D&D's 50th 
anniversary contains 3,745 pieces.
