Hello everyone,
I have just discovered the website "LEGO world builder". Similar to LEGO Ideas, it seems like the website has great potential to show LEGO that we care about historic themes. On the website you can submit an idea for a LEGO world and your idea might get chosen as a real LEGO theme. You can also collaborate with creators on their worlds. If many historic/fantasy inspired worlds are created the chances are that one of them might get picked by LEGO eventually.
I am really exited about boardgames, DnD, and LEGO, so I started a world inspired by those themes. The idea is that a few kids meet up to play an RPG and then magically get trapped in the world (kind of like Jumanji). They have to find different parts of an emblem to escape from the game. The setting would be a fantasy realm with dwarves, elves, orcs,... You would be able to actually play a DnD-like game with the sets of the theme (the sets will be modular, have a grid base, etc.). I am thinking about simplified rules of the boardgame Gloomhaven. A Game Master would not be needed. Each player would have 2 dice (one for movement, one for attack). The dice would be the same as the ones from old LEGO boardgames with replaceable tiles, which means if a player levels up he could add a stronger attack to his die... That is the general concept so far. Since you are able to collaborate on a world, I would be happy if I could get a few people that like the idea and would want to collaborate with me on the world. I am especially looking for some lore for the fantasy world. Here is the link to my world: "LEGO Role Play Adventures"
In general I would also be happy to just see more fantasy/historic worlds on the website. Let me know what kind of worlds you guys create.
