I was a Senior Designer on this LEGO set (along with two Designers and a Design Lead - normally it's only one designer but we made an adventuring party for this set). I was surprised to find out a review copy had been sent to you Louise as it didn't seem like your content to date lent itself to such a thing, but I figured (as a Rogue and a Juggz fan) it was nice one of the miniature UA-camr content creators I follow got a copy of it. I'm amazed by this video, thank you for doing such a great job of concisely laying out the plot, you even called out the small extra secrets I hid away inside the build and as always were thoroughly entertaining throughout. Brilliant. I'm glad you liked it. I guess now I should paint up a Rascal Town goblin!
Forgot this was a premier that I'd clicked on so all I saw was "I love Dungeons and Dragons, but that's all the time we have for today so I'll..." and thought it was a silly trolling video. :D
A million years ago, miniatures were scarce, and I thought I would use Lego figures for my AD&D campaigns. Eventually, Warhammer 40K came out, and I was hooked. Now, there are official Lego D&D sets... Circle of life, amirite...? Lego has been brilliant at forging alliances with various Nerd (in a good sense) pursuits. They've managed to walk that minefield of dedicated fanbases without really pissing anybody off. I think a big part of it is that they established early on that these kits were going to be fun, silly versions of the 'real thing', so it's hard to get upset about discrepancies. Well done, Lego! Well done, Louise! This content was different, but I'm here for it. Your enthusiasm is infectious... :)
I have been building Lego sets for just about fifty-four years now, so although this Rogue video was unexpected it is SO welcome. Kudos to Lego for sending it to someone who would make such a great little production and share it, thank you so much!
My DnD group played this and had a ton of fun. Just a note for DMs - this adventure is incredibly lethal if you play it as written. The average roll for the dragon's fire breath will down 3/4 characters on a PASSED save. It will instantly kill the wizard, rogue, and cleric on a failed save (i.e. Bring them to their negative hit point total.)
I think my favorite thing about the minifigures is that they have on gloves. The only skin showing is the head and hair. So you could have a lizard wizard (haha), or use a different skin tone for the dwarf. Heck, you can go full classic Lego by using all yellow heads.
Been looking to introduce my son to D&D - this adventure sounds perfect for that - not sure I can stretch to buying the Lego kit but will defo download the adventure. Kit is absolutely beautiful though - if I happen to find £300 down the back of the sofa I will buy it immediately… 😂
Nice 😺 D&D has a special place in my heart because I grew up during the early 80’s and played AD&D quite a bit as a teenager. I was a bit of an anti-videogame kid. Lego has always been a favorite of mine too and predates my D&D hobbies. Love this set and it was a day one purchase for me in the Lego store! 🐲 Cheers 🍻
Thank you for your Awesome Review Rogue Hobbies. I hope Lego bring out Smaller, more Affordable DnD Sets in the future as i can not afford this One 🧙♂️🧜♀️🦄
Yep, your lexicon definitely screams "Warhammer fan" It's nice to see rewiev from someone from seemingly outside of the lego fandom. Glad to hear you've enjoyed the build and overall set. Amazing vid
After the most recent Juggz episode, thought I should share that I'm here for your NON painting videos. Actually never watched the GW painting videos, and I found it refreshing when you came on here and did weird and wonderful not painting stuff. So thanks! ❤
Can it be that Louise is a critter too?! Loved the video! D&D, TTRPGs and lego!! Enough to keep me hooked for the entire duration. I knew of this set, but I didn't know about the adventure, and I loved this in depth look, since I don't think I can afford putting this in my house hahaha (too much space needed hahaha)
Congrats for being sent a set to build. I was going to get this but missed the mimic GWP so have postponed buying. I'm really looking forward to the D&D minifigs.
I followed the design competition they ran for this set, and this was the one I voted for, so I was very much there on release day for it! I adjusted the adventure a little and ran it for one of my D&D groups who loved it, it took us about 6 hours. Great set, and if you want more D&D minifigures, a lot of the collectible minifigs they release are great, but they’re releasing a whole set of collectable D&D Minifigures later this year!
During your overview of the set I was weirded out by the music. I was "Hey, I know this. I listen to this when I write, it's great dungeon synth. Louise also likes dungeon synth?" before I came to my senses and remembered it's your own damn music. Anyway, the LEGO set looks awesome. Super cool to see you get some promo stuff sent to you.
It was through D&D’s Dragon magazine is how I discovered Warhammer and Warhammer 40k there was an ad where you could get a free white dwarf mag . The minis within just blew me away . Still have that old beat up magazine still today
Hi I’m new to your channel I’ve played a bit of dungeons and dragons and it’s fun. I started playing at school and eventually not a lot of people played and sometimes they would forget I want to play so it’s funny they forgot me
Thank you for a great video!! That pillar with the Gem, I remember seeing a video on them doing a huge Vecna Adventure that would cross the Planes and I believe involves hidden items in Pillars... Maybe someone has ready the adventure and can confirm?.
it looks great, well designed ,think a few will buy this given how much it costs, be good collectors item as well , also aren't You a Bionicle fan as well aren't you? thought i heard you mention it in one of your twitch streams
@0:15..."The rise of popularity in D&D in recent years and the mainstream acceptance of more nerdy ventures like role playing in general has just been so good to see." You mean the Corporatization of more nerdy ventures and it has done more harm than good...

Wow well you did a great job!
You and your team smashed it!
The missing Bard was Louise all along. That's why Lego sent you the set, it all makes perfect sense!
YESSSSS!!!!!
...okay but Bionicle video when??!?!?!
🥹
Is Cinderhowl your dragon name?
@@joshbecka6110 that information is classified!!!
Forgot this was a premier that I'd clicked on so all I saw was "I love Dungeons and Dragons, but that's all the time we have for today so I'll..." and thought it was a silly trolling video. :D
Lmao 🤣

Dwarven cleric, the one true D&D class imo
Well done lego

Aww I'm glad you like it!
Really enjoyed building this set with my young son. Hopefully, I'll get to play the scenario with him.
A lot of people use Lego for Dnd minis and terrain too. I imagine a few people will pick this up to actually game with.
You can tell shes so excited to share this lol It would of been amazing had they added a set of lego dice to this
I want the virtual dice irl so bad 😭
Amazing video Sugs! As a big Lego fan I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!
Thank you Mr peach 🍑
That Lego Beholder is both cute and terrifying 300 buckaroos isn't bad at all for such an incredibly detailed piece!
We need an episode of Juggz where you, Peachy and Rob play through this adventure.
best coverage of the new lego set, yet
Now all this Lego is new to me, way different to what I had as a kid 60 years ago!.
This was such a different video for the hobby but I loved it! I really hope they make more D&D sets in the future!
Aw thanks bud I loved making it 😁
I had no idea this was out. I love D&D and Lego, its a perfect marriage. Another great video Louise, thank you and have a lovely weekend.
My DnD group played this and had a ton of fun. Just a note for DMs - this adventure is incredibly lethal if you play it as written.

It will instantly kill the wizard, rogue, and cleric on a failed save (i.e. Bring them to their negative hit point total.)
I want this kit so bad. I would love to see a play through of the adventure.
Awesome video! I love your excitement for this, very contagious
Let's go! I've been waiting for this!
I think my favorite thing about the minifigures is that they have on gloves. The only skin showing is the head and hair. So you could have a lizard wizard (haha), or use a different skin tone for the dwarf. Heck, you can go full classic Lego by using all yellow heads.
Such a great summary of the kit! Lovely video 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Been looking to introduce my son to D&D - this adventure sounds perfect for that - not sure I can stretch to buying the Lego kit but will defo download the adventure.
Kit is absolutely beautiful though - if I happen to find £300 down the back of the sofa I will buy it immediately… 😂
This lego set is incredible! I hope Lego do follow on adventure sets for it 👀. Also, it would be so cool to do an entire D&D campaign out of Lego!
Excited to see more dnd content on the channel and while I was mild on the lego set before you've gotten me hype for it.
To be fair... Lou Roguehammer? Very cool name for a character.
Thinking Gnome Fighter/Cleric, former guard of a guild bank in Ravnica maybe.
Theyre called that because they stole the hammer
I loved this, so cute and cosy 💖
I am sooo envious. But im sooo glad you made a video about this set.
excellent vicarious living to be had in this video, maybe one day I will have the space for sets like this 😅
I’m so excited to see you do some Lego. I feel like Lego and Miniatures just go hand and hand. Especially D&D
Yes another review of this set. And one that delves into the story as well!
This looks like an absolute blast! I'd love to see you paint your character mini. More D&D content is always welcome 😁
Good cause there's definitely more coming!!
Diagonal whoosh? I wasn't ready.
I like them myconids. brb going to my basement for lego.
Nice 😺 D&D has a special place in my heart because I grew up during the early 80’s and played AD&D quite a bit as a teenager. I was a bit of an anti-videogame kid. Lego has always been a favorite of mine too and predates my D&D hobbies. Love this set and it was a day one purchase for me in the Lego store! 🐲 Cheers 🍻
If I win the lottery, I'm buying this set. It looks and sounds awesome. 🎉 Great wee video.
I am so jealous! This Lego set is wonderful.
And you are wonderful ❤❤
Also brightens my day when you post❤❤
Glad you like it 😁
That is amazing. I like all of it. Smart design from LEGO.
Thank you for your Awesome Review Rogue Hobbies.
I hope Lego bring out Smaller, more Affordable DnD Sets in the future as i can not afford this One 🧙♂️🧜♀️🦄
Yep, your lexicon definitely screams "Warhammer fan"
It's nice to see rewiev from someone from seemingly outside of the lego fandom. Glad to hear you've enjoyed the build and overall set.
Amazing vid
This is fantastic!! Thank you so so much for this video. I really did enjoy just listening to you while painting
Yay great vid and collab ❤
I thought it would be fun to try something new :3
After the most recent Juggz episode, thought I should share that I'm here for your NON painting videos. Actually never watched the GW painting videos, and I found it refreshing when you came on here and did weird and wonderful not painting stuff. So thanks! ❤
Also, 😂 "Inn Plain Sight" with a big ol Eye of Sauron! Shoulda seen it coming!
This is a super fun video. I I hope you keep branching out into new things!
LEGO CMF Series Review of the Dungeons and Dragons PLEASE, I love your Review and Content of this.
Great video. Lego is one of my hobbies, and I loved seeing this set explored.
Well selected shots, well shot. I agree with Legonabii.
Can it be that Louise is a critter too?! Loved the video! D&D, TTRPGs and lego!! Enough to keep me hooked for the entire duration.
I knew of this set, but I didn't know about the adventure, and I loved this in depth look, since I don't think I can afford putting this in my house hahaha (too much space needed hahaha)
I got this for my birthday and assembled it over two days. It was such a grand building experience; like you said, worth every minute spent.
Congrats for being sent a set to build. I was going to get this but missed the mimic GWP so have postponed buying. I'm really looking forward to the D&D minifigs.
I wish I could find this to purchase at a reasonable price! But alas, I’ll have to enjoy it through your channel.. 🙂
I was impressed with this set before I knew it had a dnd campaign. This changes everything. EVERYTHING!
I love this! It gets my weekend off to a happy start. 😊
I loved this video!!!
I followed the design competition they ran for this set, and this was the one I voted for, so I was very much there on release day for it! I adjusted the adventure a little and ran it for one of my D&D groups who loved it, it took us about 6 hours. Great set, and if you want more D&D minifigures, a lot of the collectible minifigs they release are great, but they’re releasing a whole set of collectable D&D Minifigures later this year!
Added to watch later. I’ve got the kit arriving tomorrow (present from my amazing partner) and don’t want spoilers 😹
Don't forget they are adding D&D minifigures to the CMF series. I can add more to this set or any other fantasy build you want, but I can't wait.
As if I couldn't like you and your channel even more, you're a D&D fan too! Awesome.
This is the best lego set ive ever seen, amazing!
It's honestly so much better irl
Quite possibly the coolest nerdiest thing I ever seen
While I am someone who actually doesn't like Lego, I love to see one of my fave content creators be excited for something they DO enjoy. Cheers all
Cool video, best looking Lego build.
Fun video! Always love videos from UA-cam’s favorite Manic Pixie Dream Girl!
Also, all the candles are GREEN FIRE!
Hell yeah this was A+ thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!! 😁
During your overview of the set I was weirded out by the music. I was "Hey, I know this. I listen to this when I write, it's great dungeon synth. Louise also likes dungeon synth?" before I came to my senses and remembered it's your own damn music.
Anyway, the LEGO set looks awesome. Super cool to see you get some promo stuff sent to you.
That spare head for the orc rogue makes me think that they’re really a changeling/doppelgänger in disguise
I’m surprised D&D is still around considering how Hasbro/WOTC have taken many steps to spit in the goodwill of the fandom
Wow! Now you even more cool for my opinion!!
Amazing!
It was through D&D’s Dragon magazine is how I discovered Warhammer and Warhammer 40k there was an ad where you could get a free white dwarf mag . The minis within just blew me away . Still have that old beat up magazine still today
Great video Louise, you have a great channel, have a good weekend 👍😊
Aw thanks buddy you too 😁
I loved this video!
Do we need a kickstarter to convince Louise to paint herself of the empty rogue face or is putting the idea in her head enough?
i miss playing with lego
i didn't out grow it, i just have no room for it
and i want the owlbear its soooo cute
Now I want this set even more
If you love classic D&D, you should check out the Shadowdark RPG. Some kind of collab between you and the Shadowdark creator would be awesome.
I’ve been putting the Lego Lion Knights Castle together over the past week. A great set. 🏰
so cool you need to do more lego reviews !
Omg, you like d&d too....something I really like you now lol.
More content like this, please.
You know what, I got an idea from this, if you want, then you can you LEGO minifigs as a substitute for clay moulded or 3D printed miniatures
When hobbies combine!
I love a mimic!
I want it just for the beholder!
Hi I’m new to your channel I’ve played a bit of dungeons and dragons and it’s fun. I started playing at school and eventually not a lot of people played and sometimes they would forget I want to play so it’s funny they forgot me
Thank you for a great video!! That pillar with the Gem, I remember seeing a video on them doing a huge Vecna Adventure that would cross the Planes and I believe involves hidden items in Pillars... Maybe someone has ready the adventure and can confirm?.
No idea how to DM but would be fun with my kids
The adventure pdf makes it so easy I promise :3
This is so COOL!!
Gooooood one! : )
The movie _is_ very good and I will throw hands with ANYONE who says otherwise.
This would be a great LEGO Dimensions like game for PC/Console!
I'd have liked the adventure to be a book in the set rather than just a download.
it looks great, well designed ,think a few will buy this given how much it costs, be good collectors item as well , also aren't You a Bionicle fan as well aren't you? thought i heard you mention it in one of your twitch streams
@0:15..."The rise of popularity in D&D in recent years and the mainstream acceptance of more nerdy ventures like role playing in general has just been so good to see."
You mean the Corporatization of more nerdy ventures and it has done more harm than good...
When the DND mini figs comes out I hope you review them ❤
Very good vidéos well done
Weeeelll.. I wasn't planning on buying this set... until halfway through this video I found myself ordering it... Thanks, Rogue Hobbies! 😑
dungeons AND dragons? in THIS economy?
