Simple Lego Minifig Bases for D&D

The Idea That’s Coming

I’ve been having this weird feeling all week that I’m about to get an idea. I don’t know what the idea is, but I can feel it there. It’s like I know the inspiration is brewing and something big is coming, but I just can’t figure out what it is.

It’s driving me crazy.

The Lego Base Experiment

I’ve been on the Lego thing lately and I’ve got this official D&D Lego minifigure. In my head, it was going to be very easy to cut this base, pop in a two-spot piece, try to cast it, and make my own bases.

But then I started thinking: why not just use Legos to make a base?

The Discovery

Messing around with Lego pieces, the colors aren’t ideal, but it’s only about a millimeter bigger than a standard base. On a Chessex grid, that’s close enough.

And here’s the thing—on a game mat amongst normal miniatures, am I cooking here? I don’t know.

Then imagine the whole scene built in Lego too.

The Reality Check

After doing this, I Googled it. This is definitely already a thing. This is how people make bases for Lego D&D. I don’t know what I was thinking it would be revolutionary, but it was fun messing around with it.

Still Searching

Still haven’t found Rangers of Shadow Deep. Tore everything apart. Two books are just missing, which makes me think I took them somewhere to read them. If I had to guess, probably my daughter’s room because she likes to take my books to look at.

What’s Next

I’ve been researching a ton of solo and co-op games. Thanks everybody who commented and DM’d me with suggestions. Tomorrow I’m going to present my results.

Sleep first though—getting a little delirious here.

Transcript

All right, two things. The video I said I was working on yesterday, still not ready yet. Almost ready. Today got crazy. Didn’t get to finish it.

Second thing, still have not found Rangers of Shadow Deep. Tore everything apart. I still haven’t found it. I don’t know. Two books are just missing, which makes me think I took them somewhere to read them.

And now, who knows? If I had to guess, probably my daughter’s room, cuz she likes to take my books to look at. But, uh, I got no idea what I’m going to do tonight. Uh, I’m gonna paint on paint on all the infinity stuff. Or actually, I did that already.

I almost forgot. I painted already today. Trying to figure out uh what I can do to make some progress. I got a sick idea that hopefully is going to make a cool cool. >> I’m looking for stuff to make this thing.

I’m looking for stuff and things. And I’ve I was thinking I’ve been thinking about a lot of stuff lately. Uh, but one of the things I’ve been thinking of is I have this feeling that I’m about to get an idea. And I don’t know what the idea is, but I can feel it there. And it’s been like a week of like an idea is coming, but I don’t know what the idea is.

And it’s really weird. It’s It’s like I know the inspiration is there and I feel I feel like something something big is coming, but I just can’t figure out what the I can’t figure out what it is. And it’s driving me crazy. Oh, here’s one. Here’s what I’m looking for.

All right. But it’s driving me crazy. Like, I feel like I’m on the verge of something big, like something cool. Uh the next the next big thing, but I just don’t know what it is. And I don’t mean like uh I just don’t I don’t know.

Like I just I just feel like my brain is is at that is about to give me something good. But it’s I don’t know. I just had to divorce it. But it’s crazy. But I found what I was looking for.

So let’s get into it. Coming to you once again with a lost Xacto knife. All right. So I’ve been on the Lego thing and I’ve got this uh this guy. This is the official D&D Lego miniature.

And in my head, it was going to be very easy to cut this base, pop this little two a two uh two spot guy. And then I was going to try to cast it and then make my own bases. But then I started thinking, why would I just not use Legos to make a base? Okay. cuz then I started messing around and like the colors are not ideal, but it’s almost like it’s a little bit bigger, maybe like a millimeter bigger, but man, and the reason it’s melted is cuz I had the heat gun.

I was trying to make it easier to cut into, but I think like this makes a lot more sense for the Lego vibes. And I guess I just need some sleep. But uh I think that’s pretty cool because like on a chess x grid that’s like close enough but then also on something >> that’s just for like comparison on on a game mat amongst normal minifig >> like am I cooking here? I don’t know. I mean and then just imagine like the whole scene’s built in Lego too though.

But also maybe not. I don’t know. Am I cooking? >> I don’t know. I think I think I need to sleep.

I think I’m getting a little bit delirious. But, uh, this is this is a thing, by the way. I Googled it after the fact. Uh, this is definitely a thing. This is how people make bases.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but it was fun messing around doing it. Um, I’m excited. I’ve I’ve been researching a ton of solo and co-op games. Thanks everybody who commented. Um, everybody who like DM’d me and sent me some cool stuff.

Been researching. Tomorrow I’m going to present my results. So, uh, thanks for watching. Going to hurry up and get this one out. See you tomorrow.
