Nice. A large game using these figures would be a real crowd pleaser at a Convention (well I'd be pleased anyway  ).

Good find! IMHO LEGO is underrepresented in the gaming world even though it's brimming with possibilities. Might be because it's fairly expensive for new stuff or bigger terrain pieces, but still, a sight to behold! =)

I'm totally serious: what rules could be adaptable to these figures? Because if such rules exist........

[Hobbit]

I guess that you could use any rules that you like. It was a tongue-in-cheek posting, but Lego have produced several gothic horror+/or pulpish ranges over the last few years that have all looked really good.

If you delve into the website you'll find some basic character backgrounds. I love that the only way to deal with zombies is to knock their headbrick off!!!

It is a running joke in our family that I get really excited by any new Lego (or Nerf guns), even though I don't actually collect it, but the occassional piece of Lego does turn up at Xmas/birthday/fathers' day.

I agree though that a good looking Lego game at a convention would pack them in. Maybe someone needs to write to them...

I have a couple of friends that ran a couple of games at GenCon designed around using LEGO dice.

I'll see if I can't find some information on the system, called Dynamic Dice.

The idea is you literally build new dice as you go, changing the dice pools as you get new stats, equipment, etc...

The guy that created the system is a mathematics professor. The idea is to use a LEGO game to teach changing probability to kids in a conceptual way. It also turns out it's lots of fun for adults as well.
