Oh, I had expected #LEGO to make it official next month, but they already did: after Star Wars, Pokémon is the next theme with #SmartPlay features. 12 sets ready to pre-order. "Cheapest" 'all-in-one' (imem including the #SmartBrick) set is 'Training House with Pikachu' for $69.99, "cheapest" 'compatible' is 'Jigglypuff Concert' for $14.99. If you have money and love Pokémon, there's 'Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise' for $649.99 — no Smart Play.

In this article & video, I go over the two key characteristics I've seen in those remarkable D&D players and how you can develop that in your own play as well. You may be surprised at how easy they are to adopt.
