Smaug the Tremendous in LEGO
This Smaug is a dragon made from LEGO by Fat Tony. The design uses gold foil bought from a craft store which has had real LEGO coins pressed into to make imprints. I think the effect works wonderfully well and LEGO Smaug looks quite happy on his gold heap. Via Fat Tony’s Flickr and Geek […]
Dungeons & Dragons cartoon with gaming group soundtrack
An oldie – but a goodie. In fact, this video deserves more than the 80,000 or so views it’s had since being uploaded in 2011.
