Hey guys! Apologies for cluttering up multiple threads with this, but I'm pretty excited about the idea of using bookshelves for skyscrapers.
Here's the shelf I'm currently looking at.
It's roughly a foot cubed (not a perfect cube) and if it's anything like the cube I have, it'd fit 6x7 hexes on the interior.
Roughly 20 bucks, easy to assemble (see the video in the link) and you could buy more and stack them, so it's modular on a 2 story basis. The plan would be to leave the backing step out of assembly in order to let players reach in from two sides.
Major things I can think of that would need figuring out (please post additions and I'll update the OP):
1. Interior travel (elevator, turbo lift, stairs, what have you)
2. Interior design (any decoration of walls, etc.)
3. Furniture?
4. Hexes (stencils? Paint? Print Out?)
5. Doors and windows (Should they be included? If so, where? What mechanics? Shooting/moving through them?)
6. Exterior decorations
7. Exterior additions (fire escape, window perches, etc.)
8. Base (restrictions/plan for putting it down on a map)
Thoughts?
