Abstract

An elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system and method for placing game pieces at varying elevations above a game board. Elevation units provide a rod base and vertical rod. Platform units provide a platform and platform clamp. Platform units are mounted to either a vertical rod or another attached rod by the platform clamp, and can be moved along the length of the rod and rotationally around the axis of the rod. A platform can be rotated around the stud or post attachment to the platform clamp. A game piece or figurine is supported by the platform unit at an elevation above a position on the game board, and the elevation and position can be easily changed as the game progresses. The game piece can be temporarily secured to the platform, making use of recesses and protrusions provided in the platform for the purpose.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . An elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system for placing game pieces at varying elevations above a game board, the elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system comprising:
 (i) at least one elevation unit providing a rod base and a vertical rod; and   (ii) at least one platform unit providing a platform clamp adapted to be movably mounted on said vertical rod and a platform adapted to support a game piece.   
     
     
         2 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , where said vertical rod further comprises an integrated rod. 
     
     
         3 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , further comprising a rod mount upon said rod base adapted to mount said vertical rod. 
     
     
         4 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , further comprising rod marking on said vertical rod. 
     
     
         5 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , where said rod base further comprises a rod-base magnet. 
     
     
         6 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , further comprising a base stabilizer adapted to provide additional stability for said rod base. 
     
     
         7 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional rod mounted to said vertical rod through a rod-to-rod mount. 
     
     
         8 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional rod having rod marking. 
     
     
         9 . The elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system of  claim 1 , where said platform of said platform unit further comprises recesses and protrusions adapted to accommodate secure placement of game pieces. 
     
     
         10 . An elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces method for placing game pieces at varying elevations above a game board, the elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces method comprising:
 (i) providing an elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system comprising:
 (a) at least one elevation unit providing a rod base and a vertical rod; and 
 (b) at least one platform unit providing a platform clamp adapted to be movably mounted on said vertical rod and a platform adapted to support a game piece; 
   (ii) providing a game board;   (iii) providing a game piece;   (iv) placing said elevation unit on said game board;   (v) placing said platform unit on said vertical rod of said elevation unit;   (vi) placing said game piece on said platform unit; and   (vii) moving said game piece, said platform unit, and said elevation unit to different positions as needed during progress of the game.   
     
     
         11 . A full-motion unit for an elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system for placing game pieces at varying elevations above a game board, the full-motion unit comprising:
 (i) a rod adapted to support game pieces;   (ii) a full-motion base having a central column having a circumferential groove;   (iii) a ring clamp having a protruding segment adapted to engage said circumferential groove and an open portion; and   (iv) an adjustable rod mount adapted to mount to said ring clamp at said open portion and to mount to said rod;   where in use said adjustable rod mount mounted to said ring clamp when loosened allows positioning of said rod, and when tightened fixes said rod in place.   
     
     
         12 . The full-motion unit of  claim 11 , further comprising a base magnet. 
     
     
         13 . A multi-full-motion unit for an elevated movement for TTRPG board game pieces system for placing game pieces at varying elevations above a game board, the full-motion unit comprising:
 (i) a rod adapted to support game pieces;   (ii) a multi-full-motion base having a central column having multiple circumferential grooves;   (iii) a multi-ring clamp having a protruding segment adapted to engage said circumferential grooves and an open portion; and   (iv) a multi-adjustable rod mount adapted to mount to said multi-ring clamp at said open portion and to mount to said rod;   where in use said multi-adjustable rod mount mounted to said multi-ring clamp when loosened allows positioning of said rod, and when tightened fixes said rod in place.   
     
     
         14 . The multi-full-motion unit of  claim 13 , further comprising a base magnet.
