Hi; my name is Ken, I’m a hopeful inventor entrepreneur. I designed, patented and built a proof of concept/ working model of a device that is designed to transform two dimensional tabletop fantasy RPGs into three dimensional tabletop fantasy RPGs. This device is in no way designed to replace conventional fantasy tabletop RPGs, yet is an addon to enhance and make RPG more immersive.
With the help of BGD form it is my sincere hope to establish a focus/ playgroup to test whether or not my invention will be accepted by the tabletop fantasy RPG community.
OK, lets see if I can clear up a lot of misconceptions, my device isn’t actually a game, but a device, an add on for using with the game; though it can be used as a stand alone device. What value my device adds is that it isn’t restraint by any rules. You don’t have to use all the levels, these individual levels can be removed or added. Moreover, you can adapt just about any RPG fantasy role playing. Many 2D fantasy role playing games already have a 3D element to it; you travel to a tower, cave, swim to the ocean deep, you enter a burning building, invade a derelict spacecraft; and you have to explore these multiple levels; unfortunately you have to do it two dimension; by spreading your gaming tiles or maps across a two dimensional surface and convince yourself you are actually ascending or descending through multiple levels, but all the while you are moving back and forth across a flat two dimensional surface. My device will make tabletop gaming more - immersive, it will give fantasy tabletop RPGs more depth; that is, for those who wish it. Let us remember at one time no one wanted scenery maps and mini figures; but they relented because it add a depth to the game, I believe my device will do the same. It won't be for everyone. But I’m sure someone out there is looking for something like this.
