With the release of the Lego Dungeons & Dragons set (not to mention the huge crossover between Lego fans and D&D fans), a lot of people are wondering how they can use their Legos to play D&D. How are Legos good for D&D games? What can Legos be used for in D&D? What are the best Lego minifigures for D&D? How do you come up with ideas for a Lego D&D adventure? We’re Young Dragonslayers (an online D&D club for tweens and teens), and we’ve teamed up with Infinibrix (a D&D-style game that uses Lego pieces to create epic, zany adventures for any age) to tell you how you can best use Legos in your D&D games and beyond!

For years, people played Dungeons & Dragons at tables in homes, libraries, and convention centers. But with the dawn of the internet, many started playing online and, particularly around the height of the pandemic, switching to more robust tools like Discord. We started Young Dragonslayers during the pandemic and have exclusively run games online, several of them using Discord, so we have a few tips and tricks to share about how to get started playing D&D on Discord. 

If you know and want to get birthday gifts for a D&D fan, fear not! We have 10 unique D&D gifts that are sure to enchant any Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast.

D&D (owned by Wizards of the Coast, owned by Hasbro) is more than just a game—it’s also a brand and a business. There are endless tools, accessories, and add-ons available for purchase, and you can spend quite a pretty penny when it comes to buying books, constructing intricately scaled landscapes in the middle of your living room, and/or developing a crippling dice addiction.

However, one of the best things about Dungeons and Dragons (in my humble bardic opinion) is that you can absolutely play for free. Whether you’re a first-time player or the forever DM, there are countless official and fan-made resources that won’t put you out a single copper piece.

This list could very well be endless, but here are a few of my personal favorites.

Dragons, as you might expect, are a huge part of D&D, but you might not know that there are all sorts of different types in the D&D world. Some come from the land of fairies, some from the realm of undead, and some from the minds of evil wizards, each with a different personality type, set of abilities, and lair where they make their home. In honor of the Year of the Dragon, we’ve selected 10 of our favorites to share with you (presented in no particular order - choosing only 10 was difficult enough)!
