I'm not just a D&D enthusiast, I'm also an AFOL (Adult Fan Of LEGO). I'm certainly aware of Exin Castillos and have been for years. I considered getting a set about 20 years ago but didn't really have the room for it back then and, if memory serves, it's not compatible with LEGO with larger...

Word on the street is that there'll be a series of 12 D&D themed collectible LEGO minifigures ('CMFs' is LEGO jargon) released in September. Each will be blind boxed but if the current series of CMFs is any guide, you should be able to use the data matrix on the base of the box to identify...

At the risk of being macabre, there will be a very real risk at care homes of characters outliving their players!

MediCinema, a registered charity that builds and runs cinemas in NHS hospitals for those who are bed-ridden or otherwise unable to leave hospital, is showing the D&D film on Saturday, 25 March - a week before its general release! It's being shown at selected Vue and Odeon cinemas across the...

I received my Mixam copy today and have fallen in love with this book - and I don't even play 3E or 3.5E anymore! I can't put my finger on it but it has the charm of a 1E book but with great artwork, far, far higher production values, and a logical layout. Even though I'm a non-epic, 5e...

I already created a beholder out of LEGO (below) but as it’s a modification of LEGO’s Gargantos from the MCU, I won’t be submitting it for the competition. Besides, I’d rather get something someone else designed. I’m so looking forwards to this!

How will you be able to get these action figures in the UK? I mean through UK retail channels, not US-based resellers on the secondary market. Apologies if this has been mentioned already but I missed the answer.

The ‘When Alexander saw…’ quote isn’t really attributable to Plutarch as he never expressed the thought the quote encapsulates. The closest is Jean Calvin, the French theologian and reformer, who did say something along those lines though not in those exact words.

‘…which makes them [goblins] super viscous [sic]’ I agree. Goblins have always been thick!

In 1991, I picked up metal miniatures of the four ninja turtles from a store in Sydney, Australia. Each ninja turtle was sold separately. I later found out the manufacturer didn’t have a licence and the minis were promptly discontinued under threat of legal action, so were only sold for a couple...

Many years ago, I was after Robert Plamondon’s book Through Dungeons Deep. Couldn’t find it anywhere but managed to trace him. I reached out without expectation and I have to say that he was nothing but kind. He arranged to send me a copy in the UK and even autographed it. What a gent!

After an enforced break due to the pandemic, the London D&D Meetup is back with face-to-face games starting on Saturday, 31 July 2021. You need to RSVP through the Meetup site, be 18+ and find me at the venue in Borough (central London) on the day before the 1.30pm start time. No experience or...

Sorry for the digression, but that would actually be quite an amusing monster, one players would dread (in a similar way that fighters fear rust monsters). You would have to make it adorable and defenceless so PCs weren’t tempted to beat the life out of it.
