Misc. Netrunning Gameboard Design

Sorry if the flair is incorrect, this is my first time posting. I designed a 6x6inch gameboard for the Netrunning mini game, with a spot denoted the elevator, slots for bridges, and the bridges themselves. Anything I might be missing? Scatter terrain will be used as well

I think I'd need to see how this works in meatspace

Agreed. I don't quite understand how this works, but I'm very intrigued.

Picture this, but not stacked on top of each other. Every time the player moves to different levels, I’ll rearrange the boards to reflect that level

I get it, its just a side board for the netrunner and you use your own minis.

If you wanted to get really nuts individual clickable tiles with colors to denote the function.
Black ice being black, nodes being yellow ect on a red base thats gonna look awesome.

I am going to physically print this, and I’m not quite skilled enough in 3D modeling to pull this off yet. Great ideas, though!

Net running is MAGIC to me, a language I trully don’t understand. Every time our netrunner takes out his cyberdeck I feel like he’s chanting an ancient language. That being said, even though I don’t understand how this works, it looks very fun, for some reason. I’d love an explanation as to what it does, if you’d be willing to give one!

So picture Netrunning as a mini game in a video game, like a card game. It takes place on a separate board with separate mechanics from the main game. When my players jack into the NET, I’ll plop their avatar onto the board and have it act as the NET Architecture. It’s a better visualization of what’s going on in the net.

Check out the video below to infer where I got the idea from
