Fundamentals

[005] Fantasy tabletop role-playing games use miniature figures to represent characters that are placed on a playing surface that has a grid system to determine where and how far the miniature can move. During role-playing games, players can cast spells and / or perform other actions during events such as battles. The character's health and condition can change depending on the actions they receive from others, such as blows suffered during a battle.

[006] The character's state regarding health, spells cast, actions, conditions, and so on is usually delineated by placing tiles on the playing surface. However, these tiles can overload the playing surface and restrict the natural movement of characters during the game. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 6 / 142 2 / 110

[007] Physical objects, such as miniature figures used in tabletop games, typically have no interaction with digital systems. That is, tabletop games are generally distinct from digital games, occurring in the physical world. Additionally, when one wishes to integrate a digital system with a physical game, such as a tabletop game, existing systems do not guarantee a low technical barrier to entry and that performance will not be suboptimal due to hardware and / or software limitations. There are also significant problems in ensuring that the data stored in the digital system is an accurate reflection of the game state in the real world and with verifying the integrity of that data.

[021] In one embodiment, the set of first magnets comprises a plurality of magnets. In one embodiment, the set of second magnets comprises a plurality of magnets.

[022] In one modality, the geometric axis is aligned with the vertical geometric axis.

[023] In one embodiment, the sets of first and second magnets are positioned relative to each other so as to be magnetically interactable to polarize the rotating component in an orientation that is generally parallel to the planar shape of the lower component.

[024] In one embodiment, the set of first and second magnets are positioned relative to each other so as to interact magnetically to positionally stabilize or register the rotating component in a desired position relative to the lower component after stopping the rotation of the component. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 11 / 142 7 / 110 rotating, or spaced appropriately so as not to interfere with the gyroscopic motion of the rotating component enabled by the first and second magnet sets.

[025] In one embodiment, the set of first magnets is coaxial with the geometric axis. In one embodiment, the set of second magnets is coaxial with the geometric axis.

[0132] The following detailed description describes various modalities with reference to the attached Figures. The modalities represented in the Figures are not drawn to scale and are used only to provide an understanding of the modalities' capabilities and any applicable interoperability relationships. Base, Adapters and related Assemblies / Components

[0133] With reference to Figures 1-3, one embodiment provides a base 10 Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 28 / 142 24 / 110 to support a miniature figure. Base 10 can be considered as forming a first base component, or upper base component, for a base assembly.

[0134] Base 10 has a body in the form of a disc 12. Although the body is represented as a disc 12, it can be incorporated into other shapes, such as a triangle, square, pentagon, or any other polygonal shape. The disc 12 has an upper part 13 with an upper surface 14 on which a miniature figure can be placed (not shown). A side wall 24 extends downward and outward from the upper surface 14 and terminates in a lower surface 22. As shown in Figure 3, the side wall 24 has the form of a border that extends circumferentially. The width of the lower surface 22 as part of the border is about 1.2 mm to about 1.8 mm, as well as about 1.5 mm. The side wall 24 can extend perpendicularly downwards from the top surface 14. The base 10 has an open cavity 28 that opens to the bottom of the base 10 and is defined by the top 13 and the side wall 24.The cavity opening 28 is defined by an inner diameter of the lower surface 22. The cavity 28 may have a depth extending upwards from the lower surface 22 of about 1.5 mm. The diameter of the disc 12 may be in the range of about 10 mm to about 50 mm. In one embodiment, the diameter of the disc 12 may be from about 25 mm to about 35 mm. The height of the disc 12 may be from about 3.0 mm to about 4.5 mm. The dimensions of the diameter and height of the disc 12 may be increased and decreased.

[0135] Extending from the top 13 downwards into the cavity 28 is a first magnet recess 19 in which a first magnet 16 can be received. The first magnet 16 is associated with the top surface 14 so that a miniature placed on the top surface 14 can magnetically interact with the first magnet 16. The first magnet recess 19 has a cylindrical wall that terminates in a bottom face 18. The first magnet 16 is aligned along a geometric axis 17 of Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 29 / 142 25 / 110 disc 12, and a lower surface of the first magnet 16 is displaced relative to the lower face 18 so that a component receiving cavity 27 is formed therein. The depth of the component receiving cavity 27 may be about 0.7 mm. The component receiving cavity 27 is dimensioned to receive a magnet of another component, as described below in more detail with reference to Figure 20. In one embodiment, a plane of the lower face 18 is displaced relative to a plane of the lower surface 22. In another embodiment, a plane of the lower face 18 and a plane of the lower surface 22 are coplanar.

[0136] Base 10 also has a set of second magnets 20. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1-3, base 10 has four second magnets, 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d. However, the set of second magnets may have more or fewer than four magnets. For example, a larger base (e.g., >50 mm in diameter) may have five magnets arranged similarly to base 10. The second magnets 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d are radially offset from the geometric axis 17 and in one embodiment are equidistant from each other. Each of the second magnets is housed in an associated recess 25a, 25b, 25c, or 25d. Each recess 25 is provided in the upper part 13 and opens into the cavity 28. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1-3, the second magnets 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d are coaxial with the receiving component cavity 27. In one embodiment, the second magnets 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d are coaxial with the first magnet 16.In base 10, a polar face 23 of each magnet in the set of second magnets 20 is perpendicular to the geometric axis 17, that is, parallel to the upper surface 14.

[0137] The upper surface 14 has one or more receptacles 30 that can receive an auxiliary component, such as an accessory. As shown in Figure 1, the base 10 has two receptacles 30. An accessory that can be received in the receptacle is described below with reference to Figure 8 and Figure 23. Each receptacle 30 has an edge 32 that extends in the opposite direction from the surface. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 30 / 142 26 / 110 upper 14. A receptacle floor 30 may be aligned with a plane of the upper surface 14 or may be offset in a plane parallel to the upper surface 14. Each receptacle 30 is positioned above one of the second magnets 20. The receptacles 30 may have an inner diameter of about 4 mm and a depth of about 0.5 mm to about 0.9 mm. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1-3, receptacle 30a is positioned above the second magnet 20c and receptacle 30b is positioned above the second magnet 20d. In one embodiment, the receptacles 30 are aligned with a geometric axis of a respective second magnet 20.

[0138] The relative position of the second magnets 20 and the receptacles 30 means that an auxiliary magnet or ferromagnetic material associated with an accessory or auxiliary component can be received and magnetically retained in the receptacle 30. The accessory or auxiliary component can be a charm. The accessory or auxiliary component can be specifically designed for base 10 or bases 10a (Figures 46) or 10b (Figure 7) as described below.

[0139] Another embodiment of a 10a basis is shown in Figures 4-6. The 10a basis has features similar to the 10 basis, and similar features are identified using the same numerical references. The 10a basis has a body 12 with an upper segment 11 and a lower segment 15 that are generally delineated by the waist 41 (Figure 6). The upper segment 11 and the lower segment 15 may be integral or separate components that are joined together. The upper segment 11 has an upper surface 14. An upward-extending edge 40 runs along a perimeter of the upper surface 14 and has an upper surface 42 and an inner face 46 that defines an edge of the upper surface 14. The upper segment 11 has a radially inward protrusion 51 extending from the edge 40 that transitions into the inwardly tapered wall 49 that terminates at the waist 41.In one version, the upper segment 11, the tapered wall 49, extends from the waist 41 to the edge, eliminating the need for projection 51. The edge 40 is not required. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 31 / 142 27 / 110 in all modalities and, instead, it can be a perimeter of the upper surface 14.

[0140] In base 10a, the first magnet recess 19 extends upwards and opens onto the upper surface 14 (Figure 6). A floor 21 of the first magnet recess 19 is positioned so that a portion of the first magnet 16, when seated in the first magnet recess 19, projects from the upper surface 14. In one embodiment, the first magnet 16 extends from the upper surface 14 by about 0.3 mm to about 0.7 mm, as well as about 0.5 mm.

[0141] The lower segment 15 is formed as a trunk in which the angular side wall 44 is collectively defined by the respective faces of the trunk. The trunk has 2n number of sides. In the embodiment shown in Figures 4-6, the trunk has eight sides. The angular side wall 44 extends into the lower surface 22 to the waist 44. The second magnet recesses 25 open onto the angular side wall 44. In other words, each second magnet recess 25 opens onto a separate face of the trunk. One floor of each second magnet recess 25 is approximately parallel to the angular side wall 44. As shown in Figure 6, the angular side wall 44 is angled relative to the lower surface by the angle θ. The angle θ is < (less than) about 90°. In one embodiment, the angle θ is in the range of about 30° to about 60°. In one modality, the angle θ is approximately 45°.

[0142] Having each magnet of the second magnet set 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d positioned on a respective face 44 of the trunk provides a flat surface with which an accessory or auxiliary component can be contiguous or fitted. This can help provide a more secure connection or coupling with an accessory compared to a rounded face.

[0143] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the set of second magnets 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d are positioned in the respective second magnet recesses 25 and are radially displaced from the first magnet 16 with respect to the geometric axis 17. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 32 / 142 28 / 110 A pole face 23 of each second magnet 20 is inserted relative to a face of the angled side wall 44, thus defining the respective receptacle 30. A pole face 23 of each magnet in the set of second magnets is parallel to the angled side wall 44. Consequently, the pole face 23 of each second magnet 20 is inclined transversely relative to the geometric axis 17, i.e., the upper surface 14. Having each magnet in the set of second magnets 20 oriented transversely to the geometric axis 17 means that in one embodiment the magnetic field lines of each second magnet 20 extend approximately parallel (i.e., within about 30°) to the geometric axis 17 in a plane of the lower surface 22. The magnetic field lines are shown schematically in Figure 6 by the dashed line 50.This orientation of the magnetic field lines can help ensure that the set of second magnets 20 can be magnetically connected to other components, as described below with reference to Figure 20, while also providing clearance and access for an accessory to be received in the receptacle 30. If the pole face 23 of the set of second magnets 20 were parallel to the geometric axis 17, most of the magnetic field lines would extend approximately parallel to a plane of the lower surface 22.

[0144] Base 10a additionally includes the third magnet recess 52 which is located in the lower segment 15 and opens onto the lower surface 22. The third magnet recess 52 is axially aligned with the first magnet 16 and can receive a third magnet 48. The relative sizes of the third magnet recess 52 and the third magnet 48 are such that the third magnet 48 is inserted relative to the lower surface 22, thus forming the component receiving cavity 27. The second magnet assembly 20 is coaxial with the third magnet 48.

[0145] Another embodiment of a 10b basis is shown in Figure 7. The 10b basis differs from the 10a basis in the shape of the 40' edge and the 14' top surface on the 11' top segment are square. All other features of the 10b and 10a are the same. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 33 / 142 29 / 110 The 40 edge and the top surface can be any other polygon shape, for example, triangle, pentagon, and so on.

[0146] Referring now to Figure 8, an accessory 300 is shown in spell form. The spell has a rod 310 that terminates at end 314. The opposite end 314 is the spell component 312 which extends from rod 310. The specific form and configuration of spell component 312 are for illustrative purposes only and will or may differ depending on the type of spell and role-playing game. An end recess 318 is provided in the rod 310 and opens at end 314. An accessory magnet 316 is provided in the end recess 318 and a portion of the accessory magnet 316 projects beyond end 314 to act as a protrusion. In use, the projecting section of the accessory magnet 316 is received in receptacle 30 and is magnetically coupled or connected to the second magnet 20 associated with receptacle 30.End 314 may be contiguous with or supported against edge 32 or angled side wall 40 depending on the type of base (e.g., 10a, 10b, 10c) to which accessory 30 is magnetically attached.

[0147] The fitting may also be in the form of a number, such as fitting 300a, as shown in Figure 23. The rod 310a is generally oval with end face 314a and projecting accessory magnet 316a to act as a protrusion. The opposite end face 413a is an indication 318. The indications 318 are shown in the form of the number four, but any indication may be used, including numerical, shape, color, or pictorial indications. Similar to fitting 300, the projecting section of the accessory magnet 316a may be received in receptacle 30 and is magnetically coupled or connected to a second magnet 20 associated with receptacle 30.

[0148] The magnetic connection between the accessory, for example, 300 and 300a, and the second magnet 20 associated with the receptacle 30 is such that the accessory is inclined to be retained in the receptacle, but can be removed and exchanged as required by a Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 34 / 142 30 / 110 users.

[0149] Another embodiment of a base 100 will now be described with reference to Figures 9-18. The base 100 can be considered as forming a second base component, or lower or inferior base component, for a base assembly. The base 100 has a body component 102, a disc component 104, and a dial component 106.

[0150] The body component 102 generally has the form of a truncated cone with a diameter greater than its height. The body component 102 has the first side in the form of the upper body part 113 with a flat contact surface 112. A side wall 124 generally extends downwards from the contact surface 112, and a second side in the form of a base surface 110 extends radially inwards as a flange from the side wall 124. In the embodiment shown in Figures 9-12, the base surface 110 is provided with markings in the form of numbers 120, but it can be any shape, pattern, color, and so on. However, markings are not required on the base surface 110 in all embodiments. A circular cavity 128 is formed in the lower part of the body component 102 between the upper part of the body and the side wall 124 and opens onto the base surface 110. The cavity 128 may have a depth of about 2.5 mm to about 4 mm.The cavity 128 is fitted with a track 126 which is inserted into the upper part of the body 113. The track 126 may have a width of about 3.5 mm to about 4.5 mm.

[0151] The cavity 128 is also provided with a pocket-shaped recess 118. The cavity 118 is axially aligned with the geometric axis 117 and is defined by the pocket wall 116. The pocket wall 116 has an end face 119. The pocket 118 may have an inner diameter of about 3.0 mm and a depth of about 0.5 mm to about 0.8 mm. In one embodiment, the pocket 118 has a depth of about 0.65 mm. In one embodiment, the base magnet 138 is not Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 35 / 142 31 / 110 in contiguity with or touching an inner surface of pocket 118 during normal use. However, during use of base 100 as described with reference to Figure 16, the base magnet 138 may accidentally touch the inner surface of pocket 118.

[0152] The body component 102 has a first magnet in the form of a body magnet 122. In one embodiment, the body magnet 122 is aligned with a geometric axis 117 of the body component 102. A distal portion of the body magnet 122 projects beyond the contact surface 112 so as to act as a protrusion to aid in connection with the base 10 / 10a / 10b as described in more detail below with reference to Figure 19 and Figure 20. In one embodiment, the body magnet 122 projects about 0.3 mm to about 0.7 mm from the contact surface 112. The diameter of the body magnet 122 can be about 4.0 mm to about 4.5 mm. For example, in one embodiment, the diameter of the body magnet 122 can be about 4.2 mm.

[0153] The dial component 106 will now be described with reference to Figures 13-14. The dial component 106 has a body part 130 and an arm 132 that generally extends in the opposite direction from the body part 130, terminating at a point 133. The arm is configured to transfer the disc component 104. In one embodiment, and as best seen in Figure 18, the dial 106b may have an arm 132b provided with a sighting aperture 140 through which the indications 152 of the ring 105 may be viewed. The sighting aperture 140 acts in place of the point 133. In one embodiment, the body part 130 also has an indication 134. The indication 134 is shown as a heart logo, but it may be a number 134a as observed in Figure 17, or any other shape or color. The indication is inserted or stamped on the body part 130.

[0154] Several protrusions 136 extend radially in the opposite direction from the body part 130 on a side opposite the arm 132. In one embodiment, the protrusions 136 are dimensioned to extend beyond the disc component 104. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 36 / 142 32 / 110 as described below with reference to Figure 16.

[0155] The body part 130 is also provided with a third base magnet in the form of a dial magnet 138 (see Figure 13(B)). The dial magnet 138 is seated in the dial recess 139 and a portion of the dial magnet 138 projects outward from or beyond the dial contact surface 137. The protrusion of the magnetic dial 138 allows it to act as a protrusion to help locate the dial 106 relative to the body component 102. In one embodiment, the dial magnet projects from the dial contact surface 137 by about 0.3 mm to about 0.7 mm, as well as about 0.4 mm.

[0156] Base 100 also has a disc component 104 in the form of a ring 105 (see Figures 14-15). The ring 105 has a lower side 150 which is usually provided with indications. The indications in Figures 14-15 are in the form of numbers 152, but the indications can be provided as any shape, symbol, color and so forth. The ring 105 has a central aperture 152 which can receive a central part of the dial 106. In this way, the ring 105 is an annular disc. A diameter of the central aperture 152 can be in the range of about 8 mm to about 12 mm, as well as about 10.5 mm.

[0157] The ring 105 has an upper side 135 and a lower side 152 parallel to the upper side 135. The lower side 152 has a set of second magnets in the form of ring magnets 156. In the embodiment shown in Figure 15, the ring 105 has four ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d. Each of the ring magnets 156 can be received in a seat on the ring 105. The ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d are equidistantly spaced around the ring 105.

[0158] With reference to Figure 16, ring 105 can be received in cavity 128 so that ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d are received in track 126. In use, ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d slide along a floor of track 126, but are represented in Figure 16 as being spaced apart. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 37 / 142 33 / 110 of this is for clarity purposes only. The ring 105 is retained in cavity 128 by the magnetic interaction of the ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d and the body magnet 122, as shown by the dashed line 162. The magnetic interaction of the ring magnets 156a, 156b, 156c and 156d with the body magnet 122 is such that a user can selectively remove the ring 105 from cavity 128 when necessary. The body portion 130 of the dial 106 can pass through the central opening 154 of the ring 105 so that a distal end of the dial magnet 138 is received in the pocket 118 and the dial contact surface 137 is contiguous with the end face 119. The dial 106 is retained in the cavity 128 by the magnetic interaction of the dial magnet 138 with the body magnet 122, as shown by the dashed line 160. However, the magnetic interaction of the dial magnet 138 with the body magnet 122 is such that a user can selectively remove the dial 106 from the cavity 128 when necessary.

[0159] The magnetic interaction 162 between the disc 104 and the body component 102, and the magnetic interaction 160 between the dial 106 and the body component 102, allows the dial 106 and the ring 105 to be rotatable around the geometric axis 117 independently of each other, so that the dial 106 has the ability to point to specific numbers 152 on the ring 105. The ring 105 and / or the dial 106 can be rotated to change the number selection (indication) of the dial 106 relative to the ring 105.

[0160] A base 200 set will now be described with reference to Figures 19-20. The embodiment of the base 200 set shown in Figures 19-20 includes base 10a as an upper component 202 and base 100 as a lower component 204. However, the upper component 202 can be any of the bases 10, 10a, and 10b.

[0161] In assembly 200, one distal end of the body magnet 122 of the lower component 204 (i.e., base 100) acts as a protrusion or pin. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 38 / 142 The locator 34 / 110 is received in the receiving cavity of component 27 in the upper component 202 (i.e., base 10a) such that the geometric axis 17 of the upper component 202 and the geometric axis 117 of the lower component 204 are aligned. At the same time, the contact surface 112 of the lower component 204 is contiguous with or rests against the lower surface 22. The contact surface 112 and the lower surface 22 can rotate and slide relative to each other around the geometric axis 17 / 117. The upper component 202 and the lower component 204 can rotate relative to each other around the geometric axis 17.

[0162] Having the distal body magnet 122 being received in the receiving cavity of component 27 helps maintain the axial alignment of the upper component 202 and the lower component 204. The magnetic interaction 212 between the dial magnet 138, the body magnet 122, and the third magnet 48 magnetically connects the upper component 202 and the lower component 204 together, so that the upper component 202 and the lower component 204 form the assembly 200. If base 10a is replaced by base 10, the magnetic interaction 212 is between the dial magnet 138, the body magnet 122, and the first magnet 16. Therefore, the magnetic interaction 212 is between the dial magnet 138, the body magnet 122, and the upper component 202.

[0163] In assembly 200, the disc magnets 156 of the lower component 204 and the second magnet assembly 20 of the upper component 202 are approximately axially aligned so that the disc magnets 156 and the second magnet assembly 20 are approximately stacked one on top of the other. The disc magnets 156 and the second magnet assembly 20 are also magnetically connected, as shown by the magnetic interaction 210. Due to the magnetic interaction 210, any relative rotation of the upper component 202 and the lower component 204 causes the disc 104 to rotate in the cavity 128. However, this rotation does not cause the dial 106 to rotate. Therefore, the relative rotation of the upper component 202 and the lower component 204 causes the disc 104 to rotate relative to the component Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 39 / 142 35 / 110 lower 204. Specifically, the relative rotation of the upper component 202 and the lower component 204 causes the disc 104 to rotate relative to the dial 106, thus altering the selection of the number (indication) on the dial 106 relative to the disc 104. This action allows a user to register a change in a condition such as the integrity of a character positioned at the top of the set 200 simply by rotating the upper component 202 relative to the lower component 204.

[0164] The magnetic interactions 210 and 212 are such that the assembly 200 can be lifted and moved as a single unit without concern for the separation of the upper component 202 and the lower component 204, but still allow a user to separate the upper component 202 from the lower component 204, should they wish to change the upper component 202 and / or the lower component 204.

[0165] Having the 152 indicators located at the bottom of the set, while still allowing easy selection of specific indicators, helps a user easily track character conditions without needing to use similar pieces or indicators placed on a game surface. This helps remove clutter from the game surface and extends the RPG into three dimensions, enhancing the visual experience of the game. This experience is further emphasized when a 300 accessory, such as a spell, is connected to base 10, 10a, or 10b (i.e., upper component 202). The lower component 204 can also act as a random number generator to help randomize encounters, the behavior of non-player characters (NPCs), or indicate what rarity a treasure might be and item type when killing a monster with reference to a loot table.

[0166] Referring now to Figures 21-22, the present description also provides an adapter 400. In use, the adapter 400 is attached to a lower part of a miniature figure (not shown). The adapter 400 has a plate 410 which in Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 40 / 142 The 36 / 110 embodiment shown in Figures 21-22 is circular. However, plate 410 can have any polygon shape or form. Plate 410 has a central recess in the form of a through hole 412 that can receive a first magnet in the form of a central magnet 414 as shown in Figure 22. The central magnet 414 is inserted into the relative face 424 to define the adapter recess 426. The adapter recess 426 can receive the first magnet 16 of base 10, 10a or 10b. In the embodiment shown in Figures 21-22, face 424 is a lower side of the adapter.

[0167] Plate 410 has several recesses 416, which in the embodiment shown are four recesses 416a, 416b, 416c and 416d. Recesses 416a, 416b, 416c and 416d are arranged circumferentially around plate 410. In one embodiment, recesses 416 are provided with an open side 418. However, in another embodiment, the sides of recesses 416 are closed. Recesses 416 are dimensioned to receive a second magnet in the form of magnet 424 (see Figure 22).

[0168] Adapter 400 also has reinforcing members 418 that extend radially outward from the through hole 412 to the recesses 416. The reinforcing members help to provide rigidity to adapter 400. They can also provide a cavity to account for or conceal manufacturing defects, such as injection molding sites. However, the reinforcing members 418 are not required in all embodiments. For example, adapter 400 may have sufficient thickness where the reinforcing members 418 are not needed.

[0169] In use, adapter 400 would be attached to the bottom of a miniature figure. The miniature figure would then be placed on top of base 10, 10a or 10b and one distal end of the first magnet 16 would be received into the recess of adapter 426 and the first magnet 16 and the central magnet 414 would magnetically connect to each other to attach the miniature figure to base 10, 10a or 10b. The magnetic connection is such that a user can remove the miniature figure. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 41 / 142 37 / 110 of base 10, 10a or 10b when necessary, but the base and miniature figure can be moved as a single unit without worrying about the miniature figure falling off base 10, 10a or 10b. The base adapter 400 can also be attached to base 100 by placing the distal part of the base magnet 122 into the recess of adapter 426 so that the magnetic interaction between the base magnet 122 and the central magnet 414 couples the base and adapter 400 together.

[0170] In one embodiment, all magnets are axially magnetized disc magnets.

[0171] Another embodiment of a base assembly 600 will now be described with reference to Figures 24-28. The embodiment of the base assembly 600 shown in Figures 24-28 includes an upper component assembly 605 comprising the first 610, the second 615 and the third 620 components, as shown more clearly in Figures 26 (exploded perspective view from top to bottom), 27 (exploded perspective view from bottom to top) and 28 (exploded cross-sectional view). The embodiment of the base assembly 600 further comprises a lower component assembly 100' which magnetically associates or mounts to the lower side of the upper component assembly 605, specifically, the lower sides of the third component 620.

[0172] The embodiment of the lower component assembly 100' is substantially similar to the base 100 described above and as shown in Figures 9 to 16. Similar numerical references are maintained in Figures 24-28 to denote similar features for the embodiment of the lower component assembly 100' shown. However, the embodiment of the lower component 100' differs from the base 100 in the body component 102 of the lower component 100' WHICH comprises an annular edge 733 (see Figures 27 and 28) that allows the lower component to rest on a surface in a manner that provides sufficient space (to avoid interference) from the surface on which the annular edge rests. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 42 / 142 38 / 110 735 rests on disc components 104 and dial 106 and / or allows indications 120, when provided in relief format as shown in Figure 27, to be kept away from the support surface.

[0173] The first component 610 has a disc-shaped body 625. Although the body is represented as a disc 625, it can be incorporated into other shapes, such as a triangle, square, pentagon, or any other polygonal shape. The disc 625 has an upper part 626 with an upper surface 628 on which a miniature figure can be placed (not shown in Figures 24-28, but see Figure 33 showing a figure F). A side wall 630 extends downward and outward from the upper surface 628 and terminates in a lower surface 632 (see Figure 27). As shown in Figure 27, the side wall 630 is shaped like a border that extends circumferentially. The width of the lower surface 632 as part of the border is about 1.2 mm to about 1.8 mm, as well as about 1.5 mm. The side wall 630 can extend perpendicularly downwards from the top surface 628.The first component 610 has an open cavity 634 that opens into a lower part or base of the first component 610 and is defined by the upper part 626 and the side wall 630. The opening of the cavity 634 is defined by an inner diameter of the lower surface 632. The cavity 634 may have a depth extending upward from the lower surface 632 of about 1.5 mm. The diameter of the disc 625 may be in the range of about 10 mm to about 50 mm. In one embodiment, the diameter of the disc 625 may be from about 25 mm to about 35 mm. A disc height 625 may be from about 3.0 mm to about 4.5 mm. The reader skilled in the art will observe that the dimensions of the diameter and height of the disc 625 may be increased and decreased.

[0174] Extending from the upper part 626 downwards into the cavity 634 is a first magnet recess 636 (see Figure 28) in which a first magnet 638 Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 43 / 14239 / 110 can be received. The first magnet 638 is operably associated with the upper surface 628 such that a miniature figure (e.g., see Figure 33) placed on the upper surface 628 can magnetically interact with the first magnet 638. The first magnet recess 636 has a cylindrical annular wall 640 terminating in a lower face 642. The first magnet 638 is aligned along a geometric axis 117 of the disc 625, and a lower surface 644 of the first magnet 638 is displaced relative to the lower face 642 so as to be inside the lower face 642 so as to allow a distal part of a magnetic element 670 (of the second component 615) to be received within the lower disposed opening of the annular region defined by the cylindrical wall 640. In one embodiment, a plane of the lower face 642 is displaced relative to a plane of the lower surface 644.In one embodiment, a plane of the lower face 642 and a plane of the lower surface 644 are coplanar. The reverse arrangement can also be used in which the first magnet 638 projects below the lower face 642 and is received within a shallow recess provided by the second component 615. The reader skilled in the art will observe that this connectivity or engagement can be carried out in various ways to obtain functionally equivalent configurations.

[0175] The first component 610 also has a set of second magnets 648. In the embodiment shown in Figures 24-28, the first component 610 has four second magnets 648a, 648b, 648c, and 648d arranged and offset from the geometric axis 117. However, the set of second magnets 648 may have more or fewer than four magnets. For example, a larger base (e.g., >50 mm in diameter) may have five or more magnets arranged around the geometric axis 117. The second magnets 648a, 648b, 648c, and 648d are radially offset from the geometric axis 117 and in one embodiment are equidistant from each other. Each of the second magnets is housed in an associated recess 650a, 650b, 650c, or 650d (best shown in Figure 28). Each 650 recess is supplied on the top 626 and Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 44 / 142 40 / 110 opens into cavity 634. In the embodiment shown in Figures 24-28, the respective geometric axes of the second magnets 648a, 648b, 648c, and 648d are aligned parallel to the geometric axis 117. As such, the set of second magnets 648a, 648b, 648c, and 648d are arranged coaxially with the receiving cavity 636 and / or the first magnet 638. In the first component 610, a polar face (the lower face) of each magnet in the set of second magnets 648 is perpendicular to the geometric axis 117, that is, parallel to the upper surface 628.

[0176] The second component 615 has a body 660 that provides an upper surface 661. An annular edge extending upwards 662 runs along the perimeter of the upper surface 661 with an upper surface 664 and an inner face 666 that defines an edge of the upper surface 661. Generally coaxial with the geometric axis 117 is a first circular recess 668 to receive a magnet 670 (shown in Figure 28). The first circular recess 668 is dimensioned so that the distal protruding part of the magnet 638 can be received by the recess 636 of the first component 610 when assembled with the second component 615.

[0177] The upward-extending annular edge 662 partly defines an outer wall 670 that extends downward so as to circumferentially enclose the body 660 of the second component 615. Extending radially outward from the outer wall 670 relative to the geometric axis 117 are the first 675a, the second 675b and the third 675c rod parts, each of which, in their respective distal parts, provides the respective recesses 678a, 678b and 678c delimited by the respective outward-facing surfaces 679a, 679b, 679c. Each of the recesses 678 is configured so as to receive the respective magnets 680a, 680b and 680c. The external shape or profile of the 675 rod parts is generally oval (cross-sectional), but may be of other shapes (e.g., circular, etc.). The 680 magnets and 678 recesses may be configured to be... Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 45 / 142 41 / 110 complementary format / profile for fitting purposes. In the embodiment shown in Figures 24-28, the three rod parts 675 are spaced approximately 90 degrees from each other, but the reader skilled in the art will observe that this spacing can be varied as desired. Additionally, more than three rod parts 675 can be provided. As described below, the rod parts 675 are configured to register with the respective receiving cutout sections 730 formed on the side wall 728 of the third component 620 to key the second 615 and the third 620 components together, so that the third component 620 follows the movement of the second component 615 around the geometric axis 117 when caused by a user.

[0178] The body 660 of the second component 615 has a lower part defining a lower surface 685. The outer wall 670 transitions to the lower surface 685 by means of a curved or non-linear annular transition surface 688. Generally coaxial with the geometric axis 117 is a second circular recess 690 (see Figures 27-28) to receive a magnet 724 of the third component 620, as will be described below.

[0179] Opposite the second rod part 675b, and equispaced between the first 675a ​​and third 675c rod parts, is a body part 695 extending upward from the upper surface 664 of the upward-extending edge 662. Within an upper disposed part of the body part 695, and generally central in one width dimension of the body part, is provided a recess 700 configured to receive a magnet (not shown) capable of being placed in magnetic association with an accessory or fitting (e.g., fitting 800) as described below (with reference to Figures 29-32). In one embodiment, the maximum upper vertical extension of the body part 695 does not extend more than about a figure's waist height when placed atop the upper surface 628 of the second component 615 (see Figure 33). Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 46 / 142 42 / 110 exemplifying a figure F placed on top of a 615'' embodiment of a second component used as part of a base 1000 assembly consistent with the present description).

[0180] As shown in Figures 24-27, the extension of body part 695 generally extends upwards a short distance in parallel alignment with geometric axis 117 before sloping / turning inward toward geometric axis 117. Body part 695 also provides or bears an outward-facing surface region 695a which, in a lower part of said region 695a, bears an indication 705 as shown in Figures 24-27. The indication 705 is shown as a letter M, but may be a number as described above with reference to indication 134, or any other shape or color. The indication 705 is provided in the form of a relief, but may be inlaid or stamped onto body part 695. The indication 705 need not be provided, as shown in embodiment 615' shown in Figure 32.

[0181] The lower part of the second component 615 may be fitted with several magnets, as observed in an embodiment 615' shown in Figure 32. As can be seen, and as the configuration described in relation to the base 10 shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lower side of the second component 615' comprises a second circular recess 690' (which may be configured to receive a respective magnet (not shown) or a distal end part of the magnet of the third component 620) and another set of recesses 698a, 698b, 698c, 698d to receive the respective second magnets (also not shown). The second circular recess 690' is generally arranged coaxially with the geometric axis 117, and each of the second recesses is radially offset from the geometric axis 117 and equispaced as shown.In one embodiment, the set of additional recesses 698a, 698b, 698c and 698d are arranged coaxially with any of: the receiving cavity 668, the first magnet 670, the first shaped recess. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 47 / 142 43 / 110 circular 668, the second circular recess 690.

[0182] The third component 620 has a body 710 which provides an upper surface 712. An upward-extending edge 714 runs circumferentially around a perimeter of the upper surface 712 with an inwardly disposed upper termination edge 716. Generally coaxial with the geometric axis 117 is a first circular recess 720 (formed within the body 710 and extending downwards from the upper surface 712) to receive a first magnet 724 (shown in Figures 26 and 28).

[0183] The extending upper edge 714 partly defines an outer wall 728 that extends downward so as to circumferentially encircle part of the body 710 of the third component 620. The extendable upper edge 714 is formed by having the first 730a, second 730b and third 730c cut-out sections, as clearly shown in Figure 26. The geometry of each cut-out section 730 is configured so as to receive or be registrable with a respective or corresponding rod part 675 of the second component when the second 615 and third 620 components are assembled together (described below). Consequently, each cut-out section 730 is spaced approximately 90 degrees apart so as to correspond to the spacing of the rod parts 675. Evidently, different spacings and numbers of rod parts 675 and corresponding cut-out sections 730 may be used.

[0184] On the lower side of the body 710 is provided a recessed annular region 730 defined and delimited by means of an extended lower annular edge 732 provided on the lower peripheral / circumferential extension of the outer wall 728 as shown in Figure 27. Coaxial with the extendable lower annular edge 732 (and the geometric axis 117), and generally level therewith, is an annular ring 742 which provides an opening for a shallow recess 740 to receive an upper part of the magnet 122 of the lower component assembly 100', as will be discussed Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 48 / 142 44 / 110 below.

[0185] The third component 620 also has a set of second recesses 735 to receive the respective second magnets 738. In the embodiment shown in Figures 24-28, the third component 620 has four second magnets, 738a, 738b, 738c and 738d housed in the respective recesses 753a, 753b, 753c and 753d. However, the set of second magnets 738 may have more or less than four magnets. For example, a larger base (e.g., >50 mm in diameter) may have five or more magnets arranged around geometric axis 117. The second magnets 738a, 738b, 738c, and 738d are radially displaced from geometric axis 117 and in one embodiment are equidistant from each other around geometric axis 117. Each recess 753 is provided in the body 660 and opens into the recessed annular region 730.In the embodiment shown in Figures 24-28, the respective longitudinal geometric axes of the second magnets 738a, 738b, 738c, 738d are aligned in parallel relation to the geometric axis 117 (and indeed to the longitudinal geometric axis of the first magnet 724) of the third component 620. In the third component 620, a polar face (the lower face) of each magnet in the set of second magnets 738 is perpendicular to the geometric axis 117, that is, parallel to the upper surface 712. In one embodiment, the set of second magnets 738a, 738b, 738c and 738d are arranged coaxially with any of: the receiving cavity 720, the first magnet 724, the annular recess region 730, the shallow recess 740.

[0186] In the base assembly 600, a distal end of the body magnet 122 of body component 102 acts as a locating protrusion or pin and is received in the shallow depth recess 740 on the lower side of the body 710 of the third component 620 so that the third component 620 and body component 102 (of the lower component assembly 100') are generally coaxial with respect to the geometric axis 117. At the same time, the contact surface 112 of body component 102 is contiguous with or rests against the Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 49 / 142 45 / 110 lower annular extendable edge 732 of the lower side of the body 710 of the third component 620. The contact surface 112 and the third component 620 can rotate and slide relative to each other around the geometric axis 117. In this way, the third component 620 and the lower component assembly 100' can rotate relative to each other around the geometric axis 117.

[0187] Having the distal body magnet 122 received in the shallow depth recess 140 on the lower side of the body 710 of the third component 620 helps to maintain the axial alignment of the third component 620 and the lower component assembly 100'. The magnetic interaction 723a (see Figure 28)) between magnet 122 and magnet 724 magnetically connects or associates the third component 620 with the lower component assembly 100' together.

[0188] In the base assembly 600, the disc magnets 156 provided with the disc component 104 and the second magnets 738 associated with the third component 620 are approximately axially aligned so that the disc magnets 156 and the second magnets 738 are approximately stacked one on top of the other. The disc magnets 156 and the second magnets 738 are also magnetically connected or associated, as shown by the magnetic interaction 723b (see Figure 28). Due to the magnetic interaction 723b, any relative rotation of the third component 620 and the lower component assembly 100' causes the disc component 104 to rotate in the cavity 128. However, this rotation does not cause the dial 106 to rotate. Therefore, the relative rotation of the third component 620 and the body component 102 causes the disk 104 to rotate relative to the body component 102.Specifically, the relative rotation of the third component 620 and the body component 102 causes the disc 104 to rotate relative to the dial 106, thus altering the selection of the number (indication) on dial 106 relative to disc 104. This action allows a user to register a change in a condition such as, for example, the integrity of a character positioned at the top. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 50 / 142 46 / 110 of the 600 assembly simply by rotating or causing rotation of the third component 620 relative to the lower component assembly 100'.

[0189] In the base assembly 600, the second component 615 is assembled with the third component 620 in such a way that the rod parts 675a-675c are made to register and fit into the respective cutout sections 730a-730c so that the second 615 and the third 620 components can be keyed or splined together. For the embodiment shown, the rod parts 675 and the cutout sections 730 are geometrically configured so that each cutout section 730 can comfortably receive a respective rod part 675. In this way, any play between the second 615 and the third 620 components is reduced. Consequently, the reader skilled in the art will understand that this keyed or splined engagement between the second 615 and the third 620 means that the movement of one of the components will cause a subsequent movement of the other component.In use, for example, when the second component 615 is moved (for example, by a user), the third component 615 will follow, and consequently cause, due to the magnetic relationships / associations described above, the movement of the disk component 104 in the manner described previously.

[0190] The maintenance of the assembly of the second 615 and the third component 620 is made possible by means of a magnetic interaction (shown as numerical reference 723c in Figure 28) between the magnetic element 670 (seated in the recess 668 of the body 660 of the second component 615) and the magnetic element 724 (seated in the recess 720 of the body 710 of the third component). As shown, a distal end portion of the magnetic element 724 that is seated protruding from the upper surface 712 of the third component 620 is received within the recess 690 provided on the lower surface 685 of the second component 615, the distal end portion of the magnetic element 724 operating as a protrusion or locating pin that ensures the coaxial relationship of the second 615 and third 620 Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 51 / 142 47 / 110 components in relation to the geometric axis 117. The magnetic interaction 723c helps to prevent separation, thus keeping the second 615 and third 620 components assembled together.

[0191] In the assembly of the base set 600, the lower surface 632 of the first component 610 is mounted with the upper surface 661 of the second component 615 in a generally coaxial manner with respect to the geometric axis 117. In this way, the first magnetic element 638 provided within the recess 636 of the first component 610 interacts magnetically (identified with the numerical reference 723d in Figure 28) with the magnetic element 670 provided in the recess 668 of the second component 620. Consequently, the reception of the distal end part of the magnetic element 670 within the annular opening defined by the cylindrical wall 642 allows the first magnetic element 670 to operate as a protrusion or a locating pin that ensures the coaxial relationship of the first 610 and second 615 components with respect to the geometric axis 117.

[0192] The magnetic interactions 723a, 723b, 723c and 723d are such that the base assembly 600 can be lifted and moved as a single unit without concern for the constituent components 610, 615, 620 and the lower component assembly 100' separating, but still allow a user to separate any of the respective constituent components, for example, separating the upper component 605 from the lower component assembly 100' should they wish to change the upper component 605 and / or the lower component assembly 100'.

[0193] As noted above, the second component 615 can be configured to house a set of second magnetic elements arranged around the geometric axis 117, but offset from it. In this case, magnetic interactions can occur between the said second set of magnetic elements (of the second component 615) and the second magnets 648 of the first component 610, thus strengthening the magnetic polarization (about that Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 52 / 142 48 / 110 achieved by the magnetic interaction 723d) of the first component 610 with the second component 615. Furthermore, magnetic interactions can be established between the aforementioned second set of magnetic elements (of the second component 615) and the second magnets 738 of the third component 620. Similarly, such magnetic interactions operate to strengthen the magnetic polarization (over that achieved by the magnetic interaction 723c) of the second component 615 with the third component 620.

[0194] Referring now to Figures 29-30, an 800 attachment is shown. For the embodiment shown, the 800 attachment is configured for affixation with the second component 615 (as shown, for example, in Figures 31-32) and serves, in one form, for example, as a template used in conjunction with a generally grid-based system to define the spell impact of, for example, a creature or a player. In one form, for example, several spells with different properties / characteristics (e.g., attachments exemplifying lightning bolt(s) or other shapes) may be associated with or affixed to the 800 attachment (e.g., in different locations / positions of the 800 attachment) to represent the corresponding spell power / strength, e.g., size, color, range, etc. (or other properties or characteristics).Figure 29 shows a perspective view of a first side S1 (front side or side facing upwards during use or play, as shown in Figure 31) of accessory 800, and Figure 30 shows a perspective view of its second side S2 (rear side or side facing downwards during use or play).

[0195] Accessory 800 is generally a flat triangular sheet (being a wedge-shaped segment) in a lattice shape with an apex region 804 with the first 806 and second 808 elements defining a straight edge that extends in the opposite direction from the apex region 804 in a fan-like manner and joins a third element that defines an arc-shaped edge. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 53 / 142 49 / 110 810 as shown. Intermediate between the first 806 and second 808 edge-defining elements is a column set comprising the first 812 and second 814 straight column elements extending from the apex region 804 so as to join and extend beyond the third edge-defining element 810. The extended portions of the first 806 and second 808 edge-defining elements are joined by element 818, thus defining a distal region 816 as shown. Extending between the first edge-defining element 806 and the first spine element 812 in an arc shape are elements 820a, 820b, 820c, as shown. Similarly, extending between the defining element of the second border 808 and the second column element 814 in an arc shape are the elements 822a, 822b, 822c, as shown.The first 812 and second 814 column elements are joined at spaced locations in the apex region 804 by tab-like parts 824a-824e – with the tab-like part 824e formed to help define the apex region 804 and joining and closing between the proximally provided ends of each of the first 806, second 808 edge-defining elements and the first 812, second 814 column elements. The arrangement of the latter described elements defining the accessory 800 operates to provide a blanket-like triangular network structure with the joining of the adjacent interstitial-defining constituent elements as shown. As will be described, in use, the accessory 800 is configured to be coupled to the body part 695 of the second component 615, as shown in Figures 31-32.

[0196] Parts of the accessory 800 on one or both sides of the first S1 and the second S2 may be provided with indications, for example, Roman numeral numbers 830a, 830b and star shapes 830d (provided on the first side S1 as recessed or printed features) as shown in Figure 29, and letters 830c and other star shapes 830d (also provided on the second side S2 as Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 54 / 142 50 / 110 recessed or printed features). Note that the indications may be provided as recessed / printed features or in relief. The parts similar to tab 824 are shaped to provide sufficient space for the indications to be provided therein.

[0197] With reference to Figure 30, on side S2 of accessory 800, a plurality of recesses 826 is provided. In the form shown, each recess 826 is circular in shape and configured to receive a corresponding magnetic element (not shown) so that, in one embodiment, one or more additional accessories (for example, accessory 900 shown in Figures 36-37) can be magnetically associated (when the additional accessory 900 is carrying or housing a magnetically compatible magnetic element) with accessory 800 by affixing to a location or region on side S1 of accessory 800 that corresponds to a magnet housing the recess 826. The position of each recess 826 is generally at the intersection or areas where the elements of accessory 800 join. The position of each recess 826 may be specified or have significance due to the nature of the accessory 800 and its intended function in a role-playing game.It will be understood by the reader skilled in the art that the magnetic association or connection between accessory 800 and the other accessories (900) is such that the relevant additional accessory (900) is inclined to be retained with accessory 800, but can be removed and exchanged as required by a user.

[0198] Specifically, recesses 826a and 826b are provided on the second side S2 of the respective first 806 and second 808 edge-defining elements and can accommodate proportionally sized magnets (not shown). Recesses 826d are provided on the second side S2 of the first 812 and second 814 parallel column elements and can accommodate proportionally sized magnets (not shown). Recesses 826e are formed on the second side S2 of the respective tab-like parts 824a-ee, generally positioned as intermediates. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 55 / 142 51 / 110 between the first 812 and second 814 column elements aligned in parallel, and may receive magnets of proportional size (not shown). The recesses 826f are provided on the second side S2 and circumferentially outward and adjacent to the respective indications 830d, as shown. The reader skilled in the art will observe that the distribution of the recesses / magnets along the accessory 800 is intended to provide multiple locations where various accessories may be magnetically associated with the accessory, as may be desired for the game. Consequently, the distribution described herein may be easily varied as desired for a particular game.

[0199] The corner regions defined by the intersection between the first 806 and second 808 edge-defining elements and the respective ends of the third edge-defining element 810 also house the respective recesses 826g which can be used to receive the respective proportionally sized magnets. The 826g recesses are dimensioned larger than the 826a-f recesses in order to accommodate optional supports or support arrangements to help prevent tipping of the 800 accessory, which can become a problem when increasing the model's reach or external / distal reach and / or applying additional spell effects, for example, other types of accessories such as lightning bolts, for example. Additionally, the 800 accessory can be configured to incorporate other extensions or accessories, for example.A variety of cone shapes displayed can be extended or altered in shape, and subsequent magical damage is implied by a creature or player in the given areas that overlap the miniatures or grids that reside directly below.

[0200] The apex region 804 comprises an attachment tab 835 configured to enable attachment of the accessory 800 to the body part 695 of the second component 615, as shown in Figure 31. The attachment tab 835 comprises a first side 835a that is substantially shaped Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 56 / 142 52 / 110 complements a portion of the shape of the outward-facing surface region 695a of the body part 695, the respective complementary shapes providing surfaces that join (via magnetic association as described below) when the accessory 800 is affixed with the second component 615. On the first side S1, the affixing tab 835 houses a recess 826h to receive a corresponding magnet of proportional size (which may operate to assist in the magnetic interaction between the accessory 800 and the body part 695 of the second component 615 as will be described below).

[0201] Figure 30 provides an embedded image showing an enlarged perspective view focused substantially on the first side 835a of the attachment tab 835, showing the first 835b and second 835c body parts with their respective faces forming the first side 835a and which are at an angle to each other, as shown. Each first 835b and second body part 835c houses a respective recess 827b and 827c. In general, recess 827c houses a corresponding magnet (not shown) which is used to magnetically interact with the magnet in recess 700 provided in body part 695 of the second component 615. As can be observed, the angle and geometry of the respective faces that form the first side 835a of the first 835b and the second 835c body parts are configured so as to be flush with the outward-facing surface region 695a of body part 695 when the accessory is (via magnetic interaction) attached to it.In some embodiments, recess 827b may house a magnet to assist in associating the magnet of accessory 800 with body part 695. In some embodiments, recess 827b may be dimensioned to be able to receive or accommodate the indication 705 provided on body part 695 so as to allow for level seating of the respective corresponding surfaces. A lower surface 835d of the attachment tab 835 may be seated on the upper edge of the upper extendable edge 714 of the third component 620 so as to assist in the secure / stable attachment of accessory 800 to the second. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 57 / 142 53 / 110 component 615 (see Figure 33 which shows an embodiment 615'' of the second component affixed to the accessory 800). Figures 31 (top) and 32 (bottom) show perspective views illustrating how the accessory 800 engages with another embodiment of the body part 695' which is provided with another embodiment of the second component 615' formed in a manner consistent with the second component 615 of the base assembly 600 shown in Figures 24 to 28.

[0202] As noted above, it will be observed that for the second component 615' shown in Figures 31 to 32, the lower side of the second component 615' comprises the first recess 690' to receive a respective first magnet (not shown) and the second set of recesses 698a, 698b, 698c, 698d receive the respective second magnets (also not shown).

[0203] Referring now to Figures 33-35, an embodiment 1000 of a base assembly configured according to the present description involves another embodiment of a second component 615 (in which a figure F is placed in magnetic association with the upper part of the second component 615'') assembled with another embodiment of a third component 620''. Each of the second 615 and third components 620 are arranged in a manner consistent with the analogous components described above in relation to the base assembly 600. The third component 620'' is assembled with another embodiment of the lower component assembly 1010 shown in perspective form at the bottom of Figure 33. The lower component assembly 1010 comprises a first 1012 and a second 1014 body that are assembled in the manner shown in Figure 33. The first body 1012 comprises an upper surface 1016.Generally coaxial around the geometric axis 117 is an opening 1013 (see Figure 34) through which a distal part of a magnetic element 1018 (housed in a recess formed in the body 1014) is received through it when the first 1012 and second 1014 bodies are assembled. The first body 1012 comprises a lower part of the annular edge. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 58 / 142 54 / 110 1020, whose outward-facing periphery is provided with a plurality of equally spaced cut-out parts 1022 as shown. The lower part of the extended annular edge 1020 is formed so as to define a cavity region 1024 (see Figure 35) that receives the second body 1014 when the first 1012 and the second 1014 bodies are assembled together. As can be seen in Figure 34, the second body 1014 provides four recesses 1030a, 1030b, 1030c, 1030d that are equally spaced and offset from the geometric axis 117. Each of the recesses 1030 can be used to house or accommodate an accessory used as part of the role-playing game. This accessory could be, for example, a near-field communication (NFC) tag or chip, or an NTAG® 424 DNA tag (as described below) that operates as a game element or device. The reader skilled in the art will note that any number of 1030 recesses could be used, for example, just one recess.Furthermore, the shape or overall form of the lower component assembly 1010 may be any circular or polygonal shape / profile and / or configured so as to be, at least in part, complementary to or compatible with the shape of the third component 620 / 620''.

[0204] Referring now to Figures 36-37, a fitting 900 is shown in a representative form of a lightning bolt. The fitting 900 comprises a body 904 which is configured so as to provide a plurality of vertices 906 spaced from one another by means of the respective connecting elements 908 in a manner which represents a caricatured form of a lightning bolt.

[0205] The body 904 of the accessory 900 provides an annular body part 910 housing a recess 912 configured as receiving a magnetic element (not shown) that allows the accessory 900 to be associated, for example, with the accessory 800 - for example, at or near a selected location (or within the magnetic attraction range) on the first side S1 of the accessory corresponding to a magnet housed by a respective recess 826 provided on the second side S2. The connection Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 59 / 142 The magnetic gap between the additional accessory 900 and the accessory 800 is such that the accessory 900 is angled to be retained with the accessory 800, but can be removed and exchanged as required by a user. Evidently, the accessory 900 can be shaped or styled as necessary, being provided with a suitable body part 910 to house a respective magnetic element for attachment purposes. The accessory 900 can be formed to have any shape / profile and / or comprises any number of recesses to house the respective magnetic elements, as required (e.g., for the relevant set, etc.). Rotating assembly 2000

[0206] With reference to Figures 38-44, one embodiment of a rotating assembly 2000 is shown. With reference to Figure 38, the rotating assembly 2000 comprises a lower component 2005 and a rotating component 2010. Although optional, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 2000 may comprise a cover component 2018. Figure 39 shows a perspective cross-sectional view taken along the section plane A1-A2 identified in Figure 38 showing the assembly arrangement of the components.

[0207] With reference to Figure 40, three views of the lower component 2005 are shown, in which (a) is a top view, (b) is a bottom view, and (c) is a cross-section taken along the cutting plane A1-A2, as identified in Figure 40(a). The lower component 2005 is formed with a generally planar body 2026 of circular shape coaxial with a geometric axis X. The planar body 2026 has an upper side 2026a that provides an upper surface 2028, and a lower side 2026b that provides a lower surface 2030. On the periphery of the planar body 2026 are three annular edge segments that extend downwards 2032a-c, 2032c. At the terminal ends of edge 2032a, 2032c are circular foot-like supports 2034a, 2034c respectively, which support the lower component 2005 when placed on a surface; and the average length of the segment of Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 60 / 142 56 / 110 edge 2032b is a circular shaped support 2034b. The circular supports 2034 extend the same distance as the respective edge segments 2032. Each of the circular shaped supports 2034 comprises the respective circular recesses 2036 as shown. Each of the recesses 2036 can accommodate the respective magnets 2037, which magnetically interact with magnets 3042 seated in the recesses 3040 of the cover 2018, as shown in Figure 43(c).

[0208] Extending coaxially with the geometric X axis of the upper surface 2028 is a projection 2038. For the case shown, the distal end of the projection 2038 is conically shaped having a tip or apex portion 2038a. It should be noted that the shape of the tip portion 2028a is not essential.

[0209] The flat body 2026 has a ring-shaped recess 2040 spaced inward from the periphery of the body 2026. The purpose of the ring-shaped recess 2040 is to receive a copper coil (not shown) from an inductive power transfer arrangement. In this way, one or more electrical components (e.g., an LED) positioned with the rotating component 2010 can be powered during rotation. Positioning the copper coil within the ring-shaped recess 2040 allows the coil to be below or flush with the surface of the lower component 2005 so as to avoid or mitigate interference with the rotation of the rotating component 2010.

[0210] Another ring-shaped recess 2041 is provided on the periphery of the flat body 2026 and extends from the upper side of the circular support 2034c to the circular support 2034b and through the circular support 2034a. The purpose of the ring-shaped recess 2041 is to provide a landing surface for the lower annular edge 3036 of the structural component 2018 and to allow the registration of 3040 with 2034, as shown in Figure 43(c).

[0211] With specific reference to Figure 40(b), a set of first Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 61 / 142 57 / 110 recesses 2042 are provided on the lower side 2026b of the flat body 2026 as shown. The set of first recesses 2042 is arranged coaxially with the geometric axis X. The set of first recesses 2042 respectively supports a set of first magnets 2044. The purpose of the set of first magnets 2044 is to interact with a set of second magnets 2062 provided with the lower part 2010a of the rotating component 2010, as will be described below. In some embodiments, the set of first magnets 2044 may comprise one or a plurality of magnets. In some embodiments, the set of second magnets 2062 may comprise one or a plurality of magnets.

[0212] With reference to Figures 41 and 42, the rotating component 2010 is shown. As noted, in some embodiments, the rotating component 2010 may be provided as a single-piece body; however, this need not be the case. For the embodiment of the rotating component 2010 shown, a two-part assembly is provided that functions as a lower part 2010a and an upper part 2010b. Both the lower part 2010a and the upper part 2010b are formed so as to be assembled together in the manner shown in Figures 39 and 44.

[0213] With reference first to Figure 41, three views of the bottom part 2010a of the rotating component 2010 are shown where (a) is a top view, (b) is a bottom view and (c) is a cross-section taken along the section plane A1-A2, as identified in Figure 41(a).

[0214] The lower part 2010a of the rotating component 2010 comprises a generally circular body 2050 with upper sides 2050a and lower sides 2050b. The lower side 2050b of the body 2050 comprises the first 2052 and the second 2054 recesses that extend into the body 2050. The first 2052 and the second 2054 are formed coaxially with the geometric axis X. The first recess 2052 is separated from the second recess 2054 by an annular wall 2056. The first recess 2052 is configured so as to receive the geometric axis 2038 of the lower part 2010a of the Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 62 / 142 58 / 110 rotating component 2010. Furthermore, the inner end of the first recess 2052 is shaped in a conical manner (2058), as shown in Figure 41(c), in which a central apex 2058a of the cone is configured so as to, in use, register with the distal tip 2038a of the distal end of the projection 2038. In use, the first recess 2052 is configured to receive the projection 2038 so as to rotationally support the rotating component 2010 when mounted with the upper part 2010b. In this way, the rotating component 2010 has the ability to rotate relative to the lower component 2005.

[0215] It should be noted that the first recess 2052 can be dimensioned to receive, for example, a bearing module, which bearing module fits into projection 2038 in order to allow the rotation of the rotating component 2010. The reader skilled in the art will observe that various solutions can be used to facilitate the rotation of the rotating component consistent with the present description.

[0216] In some cases, the rotating component 2010 may be used to slow down or help contribute to the stabilization of gyroscopic movement that may occur when rotated. In some embodiments, the distal tip 2038a may not touch the central apex 2058a. In some embodiments, the central apex 2058a may consist of a flat, pointed, or circular cavity.

[0217] The top of projection 2038 may be substantially flat, pointed, domed, circular, oval, hemispherical, etc. Rotating component 2010 may or may not include a bearing that may be inserted into the first recess or 2052. The bearing and / or pointed projection 2038 indicated may be used to assist in the rotation of rotating component 2010. In some cases, the tip of projection 2038 may or may not meet the inner end or the roof of the first recess 2052 until it has been rotated. The tip 2038 and / or the bearing may be used to calibrate the stability and / or duration of the spin cycle of rotating component 2010, for example, a Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 63 / 142 The flat inner end of the first recess 2052 creates friction, and a pointed tip keeps it centered and reduces friction upon contact (reducing load and friction). In some cases, the tip of the projection 2038a (pointed or flat) may not touch the first recess 2052; however, when oscillating while rotating, it encounters the conical walls to stabilize the rotation / spin, or the flat surface encounters the top of the first recess or first recess 2052. The rotating component 2010 may also reside continuously on top of the projection 2038 when rotated, or perhaps a combination of both. Rotational spin in combination with magnetic levitation can lift the rotating component higher than the tip itself. Additionally, the contact points on the underside of the bearing (flat surface) can also be used to decelerate and / or stabilize the flat rotation and / or the duration of the rotation.

[0218] With specific reference to Figure 41(b), a set of second recesses 2060 is provided on the lower side 2050b of the body 2050 as shown. The set of second recesses 2060 is arranged coaxially with the geometric X axis. The set of second recesses 2060 respectively seats a set of second magnets 2062. The purpose of the set of second magnets 2062 is to magnetically interact with the set of first magnets 2044 of the lower component 2005, as described below.

[0219] The body 2050 is equipped with a set of seats 2064 spaced equidistant from the periphery of the body 2050. Each of the seats 2064 has the shape of a U-profile and extends a short distance radially into the periphery of the body 2050 towards the geometric X-axis, as shown in Figures 41(a) - (c). In use, each of the seats 2064 is configured to receive a light-emitting diode (LED) module, so that when seated in a respective seat 2064, the LED light is directed radially outwards (relative to the geometric X-axis). Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 64 / 142 60 / 110

[0220] With reference to Figure 41 (a), the upper side 2050a of the body 2050 provides a raised annular part 2066 coaxial with the geometric axis X. The raised annular part comprises a set of circular recesses 2068 (five shown) equidistant from each other around the geometric axis X. The purpose of the set of circular recesses 2068 is to receive a respective magnet from a set of third magnets 2070 (which may comprise one or a plurality of magnets) that magnetically interact with a set of fourth magnets 3018 (which may comprise one or a plurality of magnets) that are seated in recesses 3015 provided with the upper part 2010b of the rotating component (described below). In this way, the magnetic interaction between the third 2070 and fourth 3018 sets of magnets operates to help hold the lower 2010a and upper 2010b parts of the rotating component 2010 together when assembled.The magnetic interaction between the third 2070 and fourth 3018 sets of magnets also helps maintain alignment with respect to the geometric X axis. The third 2070 and fourth 3018 sets of magnets can be placed radially to minimize magnetic interference. This aids alignment by assisting the magnets and seeking to register the projections 2084 to pass through the grooves 2076, also allowing the recessed set 2086 to register or correspond to the seating set 2064 formed in the lower part 2010a which cooperate to provide a recessed seating for a respective LED.

[0221] A central part 2072 (of circular shape) of the upper side 2050a of the body 2050 comprises a generally flat surface. Intermediate between a peripheral edge of the central part 2072 and a peripheral edge of the raised annular part 2066, a set of grooves 2076 (four shown) is provided in an arc-like shape. The set of grooves 2076a-d is dimensioned to receive a corresponding set of projections 2084a-d extending from the lower side 2050b of the upper part 2010b (see Figure 42(b)). Since the Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 65 / 142 61 / 110 respective projections 2084a-d have engaged in the corresponding grooves 2076a-d, the lower part 2010a and upper part 2010b have the ability to register with each other to assemble in the desired manner. For example, the grooves 2076a-d and projections 2084a-d can be formed in such a way as to ensure that a specific relative alignment results from the assembly of the lower part 2010a and upper part 2010b. It should be noted that many different arrangements can be designed to achieve the same objective.

[0222] In use, with the rotating component 2010 mounted and rotationally supported by the geometric axis 2038, the rotating component 2010 is rotated or turned around the geometric X axis. The relative positioning of the first 2044 and second 2062 sets of magnets can be configured to establish a series of magnetic interactions, such as, for example, a levitation effect, in order to help facilitate the continuous rotation of the rotating component 2010 when rotated and / or facilitate the stabilization of the component during rotation, for example, so that it rotates stably in the horizontal plane as much as possible, instead of experiencing oscillation (causing the rotating component to reduce its rotation time).

[0223] In a first configuration shown in Figure 44a-A (and which is used for the realization of the rotating assembly 2000), the first 2044 and second 2062 magnet assemblies are radially aligned with respect to the geometric X axis and are positioned in their respective recesses so that their respective poles are oriented in the same way. The number of magnets in each of the first 2044 and second 2062 magnet assemblies is the same. The first 2044 magnet assemblies are spaced inward from the radial position of the second 2062 magnet assemblies with respect to the geometric X axis as shown in Figure 44. With this radial offset spacing arrangement (for the magnets used, the radial offset spacing is approximately 1.3 mm in the radial direction of the geometric X axis, and Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 66 / 142 62 / 110 (the spacing in the vertical plane is about 1.7 mm for the embodiment shown, but varies depending on the characteristics of the magnets used), the second set of magnets 2062 interacts magnetically with the first set of magnets 2044 in the manner in which the magnetic interaction between an interacting pair causes both to repel each other between the corners facing the magnets (see Figures 44aA). In this way, the magnetic field lines of the first 2044 and second 2062 magnets, due to the displacement nature of the positions of the corresponding magnets of the first 2044 and second 2062, are considered to help stabilize the rotating component 2010 in an orientation that is generally parallel to the planar shape of the lower component 2005 by the resulting repulsive force acting on the rotating component 2010, having a component acting upwards and a component acting outwards from the geometric X-axis. The interaction is symmetrical with respect to the geometric X-axis.In this way, it was observed that the rotating component 2010 experiences a levitation effect. The first 2044 and the second 2062 magnets being arranged in this general configuration are considered beneficial due to their magnetic interaction operating to keep the rotating component 2010 rotating substantially in the same plane, and the resulting traction force is not downward. Furthermore, the magnetic interaction operates to align both sets of 2044 and 2062 magnets radially. In one embodiment, for the magnets used and described in this document, the displacement between the sets of 2044 and 2062 magnets is approximately 1.3 mm; however, this distance varies depending on the size, strength, and shape of each magnet. For example, size, strength, shape, and magnetized directions can vary.Additionally, different orientations relative to the geometric X axis (for example, different angularity relative to / with the geometric axis) can also alter each interaction dependent on the aforementioned.

[0224] In a second configuration generally shown in Figures 44a-B, the positioning of the second set of magnets 2062 is radially spaced Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 67 / 142 63 / 110 into the radial position of the first 2044 magnet assembly relative to the geometric X axis. As in the first configuration, the first 2044 and second 2062 magnet assemblies are positioned in their respective recesses so that all their respective poles are oriented in the same way. In test embodiments using this radial displacement spacing arrangement (for the magnets used and the spacing in the vertical plane (which is about 1.7 mm for the embodiment shown, but varies depending on the characteristics of the magnets used), the spacing arrangement is again about 1.3 mm in the radial direction of the geometric X axis) the second 2062 magnet assembly magnetically interacts with the first 2044 magnet assembly in such a way that the magnetic interaction between an interacting pair causes both to repel each other between the corners facing the magnets (see Figures 44a-B).Thus, it is considered that the magnetic field lines of the first 2044 and second 2062 magnets, due to the displacement nature of the corresponding magnet positions of the first 2044 and second 2062, help stabilize the rotating component 2010 in an orientation that is generally parallel to the planar shape of the lower component 2005 by the resulting repulsive force acting on the rotating component 2010, having an upward component and an inward component directed towards the geometric X-axis. The interaction is symmetrical with respect to the geometric X-axis. In this way, it was observed that the rotating component 2010 experiences a levitation effect. The first 2044 and second 2062 magnets being arranged in this general configuration are considered beneficial due to their magnetic interaction operating to keep the rotating component 2010 rotating substantially in the same plane, and the resulting traction force is not downward.Furthermore, the magnetic interaction operates to align both sets of magnets radially, 2044 and 2062.

[0225] In a third configuration generally shown in Figures 44a-C, the radial positioning of the sets of the first 2044 and the second 2062 in Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 68 / 142 The 64 / 110 relationship to the geometric X axis is the same (that is, the distance of each set of first 2044 and second 2062 magnets is the same). However, the set of first 2044 and second 2062 magnets are positioned in their respective recesses so that their respective poles are oriented in opposite directions. With this configuration, the final rest position of the first 2044 and second 2062 magnet is where the rotating component 2010 slows down to a stop / rest that is substantially between the magnet positions, and not in a radial alignment as in the first and second configurations described above. That is, for example, a stable rest position of the rotating component 2010 relative to the lower component 2005 will be where a magnet from the second set 2062 is between adjacent magnets from the first set 2044.With this configuration, oscillation of the rotating component 2010 was observed during stop / stop, as the magnetic interaction operates to pull or polarize the rotating component 2010 downward. In contrast, for the configurations described above (first and second), the magnetic interaction operates to align both sets 2044, 2062 of magnets radially.

[0226] With reference to Figure 42, similar views of the upper part 2010b of the rotating component 2010 are shown as for Figure 41. The upper part 2010b of the rotating component 2010 comprises a generally circular body 2080 with upper sides 2080a and lower sides 2080b. The lower side 2080b of the body 2080 comprises the first recess 2082 which extends into the body 2080. The first recess 2082 is formed coaxially with the geometric axis X. Extending from a ceiling 2082a of the recessed region of the first recess 2082 is a set of four projections 2084a-d. Each of the projections 2084a-d extends circumferentially around the geometric axis X in discrete lengths. As noted above, the set of projections 2084a-d fits into the corresponding set of grooves 2076, which has a lower part 2010a to assist in aligning the lower part 2010a and the upper part 2010b as needed. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 69 / 142 65 / 110 assemble the rotating component 2010.

[0227] As noted above, with respect to the seat assembly 2064 having the lower part 2010a, the lower side 2080b of the body 2080 is formed so as to provide a set of recessed parts 2086 which are spaced inwards from the outermost peripheral extension of the body 2080 and spaced around the geometric axis X. The set of recessed parts 2086 is shaped to receive a part of a respective LED, i.e., when the lower parts 2010a and upper parts 2010b are assembled together, seated in a respective seat 2064 of the lower part 2010a. In this way, the set of recessed parts 2086 are formed so as to register or correspond to the seat assembly 2064 formed in the lower part 2010a. In this way, when the lower 2010a and upper 2010b parts of the rotating component are assembled together, each LED can be held or retained in its position.In use, this can be important when the rotating component 2010 is spinning or initially rotating, where it may experience a relatively high amount of angular velocity / acceleration, which, if not subjected to a means of gripping / retaining, can cause an LED to become loose. It will be noted that various means of retaining the LEDs will be conceivable. For example, the variation in the angularity of the LED can be varied. For example, different orientations relative to the geometric X axis of the LEDs can vary or be varied (e.g., potentially vertical, mitigating magnetic interference so as to allow sufficient energy transfer from magnetic resonance, etc.).

[0228] The peripheral extension of the body 2080 of the upper part 2080a has a shape that resembles, for the embodiment shown, that of an annular chamfer. In this way, the peripheral wall of the body 2080 comprises an angled face 2090. As can be seen, the angled face 2090 is provided with one or more sets of markings 2095a that are equidistantly spaced on the face 2090. An upper extension of the body 2080 comprises a face 3000 which is Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 70 / 142 66 / 110 extends inward a short distance from the edge of the angled face 2090 as shown. Similarly, face 2090 may be provided with a plurality of indications 2095b that are equidistant from face 3000. The indications 2095a / b may take any form as described herein. The different sets of indications 2095a / b may be symbols or shapes that correspond to a role-playing game in which the rotating set 2000 is used. For example, indications 2095a and 2095b may represent a spell, a movement, an action, a skill, damage, a condition, health, a character mood, in-game currency, item cost, a character's directional movement, a distance, a status, armor, etc.Additionally, designations 2095a and 2095b can be used as a visual aid to help align components, for example, upper and lower rotating components. Furthermore, designations 2095a and 2095b can be used as external reference text or on a mobile device in relation to the corresponding designations. In any case, designations 2095a and 2095b may represent the same thing or be interchangeable.

[0229] The upper side 2080a of the body 2080 comprises a recessed region 3005 that begins at the edge of the angled face 2090. Extending from one floor of the recessed region 3005 is an annular wall 3008. The annular wall 3008 is of non-uniform height around its circumference. The annular wall 3008 surrounds a generally flat circular region 3010 that is recessed more deeply than the recessed region 3005. The flat circular region 3010 may accommodate an accessory device or component, such as, for example, a near-field communication (NFC) tag T (which may be an NTAG® 424 DNA tag) or chip that operates as an element or device of a game, as described herein (see Figures 39 and 44). The tag T may Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 71 / 142 67 / 110 allow the use of the rotary control set 2000 with the principles of the object management system 5000 described below and shown in Figures 45 to 48. The token T, an augmented proxy evaluated via electronic device, and 4900 can be used in combination to sign messages and authorize their use for games.

[0230] With reference to Figure 42 (a), the recessed region 3005 of body 2080 comprises a set of circular recesses 3015 (five shown) spaced equidistant from each other around the geometric axis X. The purpose of the set of circular recesses 3015 is to receive a respect magnet from a set of fourth magnets 3018 that magnetically interact with the set of third magnets 2070 that are seated in recesses 2068 provided with the upper face 2050a of body 2050a of the lower part 2010a of the rotating component 2010 (described below). In this way, the magnetic interaction between the third 2070 and the fourth 3018 sets of magnets operates to help hold the lower 2010a and upper 2010b parts of the rotating component 2010 together when assembled (in the same way as described above).

[0231] The recessed region 3005 comprises a set of grooves 3020 on its peripheral edge. The set of grooves 3020 is for use as visual guides. The grooves 3020 may employ similar principles to the set of projections 2084a-de to the set of recessed parts 2086 if necessary and act as a tab. The grooves 3020 may reduce weight and be used to improve aesthetics / cosmetics.

[0232] The cover component 2018 is shown in Figure 43. Similar displays of the cover component 2018 are shown as for the components of Figures 40-42. For the embodiment shown, the cover component 2018 is provided in the form of a shell-like or cage-like structure that is configured to rest on the lower component 2005 (as seen more clearly in Figure 44) providing a support surface on which a miniature figure or base (such as, for example, a base, base assembly or Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 72 / 142 68 / 110 rotating assembly as described above) can be installed.

[0233] As observed in Figure 43(a), the roof component 2018 comprises a circular flat roof 3030 with an upward-extending annular edge 3032 on its periphery. The upper side of the flat roof 3030 provides a surface 3030a on which any of the bases or assemblies (e.g., bases / base assemblies 10, 10a, 100, 200, 600, 1000, etc.) or miniature figures described herein may be supported. A side wall 3034 extends downward and outward from a portion of the edge 3032 providing a curved, shaped side wall, as shown. As observed, the side wall 3034 does not extend all the way around the roof 3030, but comprises a section where the side wall is open or omitted (shown at 3043 in Figure 43(b)). The gap or space provided by 3043 is intended to allow access to the peripheral edge of the rotating component 2010 so as to allow a user / player to rotate the rotating component 2010.

[0234] The side wall 3034 terminates with a lower annular edge 3036 that extends between the circular supports 3038a, 3038b, 3038c. Each of the circular supports 3038a-c comprises, respectively, recesses 3040a-c. The recesses 3040a-c are used to seat the respective magnets of a magnet assembly 3042a-c, which, when the cover component 2018 is assembled with the lower component 2005, magnetically interact with the respective magnets 2037 that are seated in the recesses 2036a-c. In this way, when assembled, the magnetic interaction between the magnets 3042 and 2037 helps to retain the cover component 2018 with the lower component 2005.

[0235] The side wall 3034 has one or more openings or cutouts 3044, which can be provided in any position on the side wall 3034. The openings 3044 comprise slots 3044a and openings 3044b. The openings 3044b can be of different sizes. The positioning and / or geometry of the openings Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 73 / 142 69 / 110 3034a / b may conform to the rules or requirements of a role-playing game. As shown in Figure 38, the openings 3044a / b may be arranged to register with various indications 2095a / be / or the LED modules provided with the rotating component 2010, so that the indications can be seen, or else hidden by means of the side wall 3034.

[0236] The openings or cutouts 3044 can be removed by covering the relevant opening / cutout 3044 with a cover or similar that can be fixed to the side wall 3034 (using any suitable fixing means, for example, magnets). For example, a cover arrangement could be similar to a translation or rotation of a sliding door arrangement frequently used with condiment containers.

[0237] Side wall 3034 also features a series of indications 3046 provided in various positions on the side wall. As shown in Figure 43(a), the side wall is provided with different sets of indications (identified as 3046a, 3046b, 3046c, 3046d). The indications 3046 can take any form described in this document. The different sets of indications 3046 can be symbols or shapes that correspond to a role-playing game in which the rotating set 2000 is used.

[0238] As observed in Figure 43(c), a generally central location of the lower part of the roof 3030 comprises an annular wall 3048 extending downward from the lower part 3050 of the roof 3030. The annular wall 3048 defines a recessed region 3052 for the seating of a magnet. In this way, the magnet 3052 can be used to magnetically interact with a magnet of a miniature figure, base, or adapter, as described above, so as to help hold the miniature figure / base / adapter in position.

[0239] The inner side of the side wall 3034 comprises a set of fifth recesses 3065 which are positioned spaced above the lower annular edge. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 74 / 142 70 / 110 3036 and used to seat a set of fifth magnets 3070 (which may comprise one or a plurality of magnets). The recesses 3065 are generally spaced equidistant from each other around the side wall 3034. The spacing of the recesses 3065 around the inside of the side wall 3034, and consequently the set of fifth magnets 3070, is the same as the spacing of the seats 2064 used to seat the LEDs. In use, after the rotating component 2010 is rotated, in addition to the magnetic interaction of the first 2044 and second 2062 magnets occurring as described above, the set of fifth magnets 3070 magnetically interacts with the magnets provided with the LEDs so as to establish an attractive force between them which can be used to assist in the affirmative or stable alignment of the rotating component in a desired state of alignment as it slows down to rest following rotation.

[0240] The inner side of the adjacent side wall 3034 where openings or cutouts 3044 are provided can be used to include or house a set of recesses 3060 positioned or spaced above the recesses 3065. These recesses 3060 can also accommodate the respective magnets, which can be used to further assist in working with the fifth magnets 3070 to affirmatively or stably align the rotating component 2010 as in the desired alignment state, as it slows down to rest after rotation. In one embodiment, the set of fifth magnets 3070 can be radially displaced with the first 2044 and second 2062 magnets, but insofar as they do not interfere with the gyroscopic movement / stability, or subsequent magnets from which they can be equidistant. In some embodiments, only the magnets and LEDs would be needed to align the indications.

[0241] It should be noted that side wall 3034 could instead be part of, or arranged so as to be carried by, the lower component 2005. In such embodiments, side wall 3034 could extend upwards from the Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, p. 75 / 142 71 / 110 periphery of the lower component 2005 so as to provide edge 3032. Edge 3032 could then support or provide surface 3030a to support any article or device, such as a miniature figure, bases, accessories described herein. In such embodiments, the side wall can be formed in ways similar to side wall 3034.

[0242] Regarding the variations above, the magnets in the LEDs can be used as a substitute for the third magnet set 3070 in the rotating component 2010, with fewer magnets than are needed for use in other components of the rotating assembly 2000 to positively align the rotating component 2010 as it slows down to rest. However, the magnets in the LEDs can be used in combination with any of the magnet sets if necessary or beneficial.

[0243] Magnetic interaction via magnets in the LED can be used in a dual manner to hold the LEDs in a fixed position for accessibility in combination with the magnets in the lower 2010a or upper 2010b parts of the rotating component 2010.

[0244] Magnets can be used in various positions on the cover component 2018, however, placement should be considered so as not to compromise the planar rotation or the rotation of the rotating component 2010 in general.

[0245] LEDs can be inserted into the rotating component 2010. In a gaming environment, for example, LEDs can represent a character's abilities or characteristics and therefore can be swapped between players (and inserted into the rotating component 2010). The color of the LED light can reflect / represent difficulty, rarity, or spell level. LEDs can be configured to optimize brightness (damping magnetic interference with the copper coil). LEDs can also be or be representative of a user.

[0246] The modalities of the 2000 rotating assembly can be incorporated into Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, page 76 / 142 72 / 110 form of a base unit or assembly for use in a role-playing game, a base unit or assembly to support a miniature figure, a base unit or assembly to support a base to support a miniature figure, a base unit or assembly to support an adapter which, in use, is attached to a lower part of a miniature figure, all as described herein.

[0247] Any of the components described in this document can be manufactured using any usual high-volume manufacturing process. In one form, a plastic injection molding process can be used. Otherwise, any suitable 3D printing process can be used. For example, any of the components can be made available for download and 3D printing on a home 3D printer by a user. The reader skilled in the art will observe various other ways and means by which any of the components described in this document can be manufactured. Integration of electronic devices

[0260] The interactive and collectible games industry has been significantly influenced by technological advancements, particularly in the areas of Near Field Communication (NFC) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). These technologies allow objects, such as game miniatures, to interact with electronic devices and platforms, enhancing the overall user experience by providing dynamic content, interactive gameplay, and secure data exchange. However, these systems have several limitations, such as a lack of real-time monitoring, dynamic configuration, and secure content protection.

[0261] RFID and NFC tags have limited memory and security capabilities, restricting their application to simple tasks such as identification or delivery of static content. These limitations have hindered the development of more advanced and interactive applications, as they require greater memory capacity, dynamic content configuration, and security features.

The encryption data may, for example, include a decryption key. The decryption key may be configured to decrypt data stored in memory 5028 on electronic device 5022. The decryption key may be configured to decrypt data stored in memory 5028 on communication device 5018.

[0318] Electronic device 5022 can validate the encryption data. That is, at least one processor 5024 of electronic device 5022 can confirm that the encryption data meets one or more criteria. For example, at least one processor 5024 can confirm that the decryption key is valid. At least one processor 5024 can compare the encryption data with one or more stored encryption keys. The encryption data can be validated if at least part of the encryption data matches one or more stored encryption keys.

[0319] In some embodiments, the 5022 electronic device and / or the 5018 communication device use a symmetric encryption algorithm. For example, the 5022 electronic device and the 5018 communication device may use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to communicate securely. Specifically, the 5022 electronic device and the 5018 communication device may use AES-128. In some embodiments, the 5022 electronic device and the 5018 communication device may use a secure and unique Near Field Communication (NFC) (SUN) message generation mechanism.

[0320] In some embodiments, the electronic device 5022 and the communication device 5018 may use secure and exclusive near-field communication (NFC) enabled by shared security authentication message(s) from one or more complete nodes, nodes, or trusted nodes of a system. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 100 / 142 96 / 110 distributed accounting.

[0321] As described in this document, the 5000 object management system may comprise an authentication device. The authentication device may secure a connection between the 5022 electronic device and another component, such as the 5018 communication device. Specifically, the authentication device may secure a connection between the 5022 electronic device and another component, such as the 5018 communication device, using secure exclusive near-field communication (NFC) enabled by shared security authentication message(s) from a complete node(s), nodes, or trusted nodes of a distributed token system. The authentication device may be used as a proxy to sign the authentication message(s) via the 5016 communication network.The authentication device can be used as a proxy to sign the authentication message(s) via the 5016 communication network on behalf of the 5022 electronic device and / or in situ with one or more surrogates. The authentication device can be assigned different user roles and permissions by the 5002 content host. The authentication device can be assigned different user roles and permissions via the 5016 communication network relayed by cross-consensus from the content host in connection with the complete node(s), nodes, or trusted nodes. The authentication device can be assigned different user roles and permissions by the 5002 content host and by one or more components of the 5016 communication network. The authentication device can be used to identify a user associated with object data.The authentication device can authorize the movement of one or more encryption keys to issue new seeds and public and private secret keys. The authentication device can have or be the same proxy for one or more accounts. The authentication device can be a proxy for one or more accounts. The authentication device can be used for... Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 101 / 142 97 / 110 sign messages for the user or on behalf of the aforementioned substitute(s), to associate indicative data of the object to the content host 5002 and / or communication device 5018. These messages may be signed or blindly signed.

[0322] The 5018 communication device can store one or more encryption keys. The 5018 communication device can store a seed. The 5018 communication device can be used to establish a connection with another computing device via the 5016 communication network (for example, in the case where the system includes a distributed token, such as a blockchain, which can be accessed via the 5016 communication network) and identify a user associated with specific object data. The 5022 electronic device can be used to establish a connection and sign authentication messages for the ring and / or the 5022 electronic device. The 5016 communication device can authorize the movement of one or more encryption keys to issue new seeds and public and private secret keys.

[0323] Electronic device 5022 and communication device 5018 can encrypt communications using an asymmetric encryption scheme. In some embodiments, communication device 5018 and electronic device 5022 can exchange encryption data. That is, communication device 5018 can transmit encryption data to be received by electronic device 5022, and electronic device 5022 can transmit encryption data to be received by communication device 5018. Each of the communication devices 5018 and electronic device 5022 can use the received encryption data to establish an encrypted communication channel with the other of the respective devices. The communication channel can be through communication network 5016. That is, communication network 5016 can facilitate the communication channel. For example, communication device 5018 and the Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 102 / 142 Electronic device 5022 (98 / 110) can execute a Diffie-Helman key exchange scheme to establish an encrypted communication channel. Communication device 5018 and electronic device 5022 can execute a Schnorrkel cryptographic signature scheme to establish an encrypted communication channel. Communication device 5018 and electronic device 5022 can execute a Ristretto construction in the process of establishing an encrypted communication channel. Communication device 5018 and electronic device 5022 can execute an x25519 key exchange protocol in the process of establishing an encrypted communication channel.

[0324] Electronic device 5022 only releases stored data if the correct encryption data is provided by communication device 5018. Electronic device 5022 has the ability to log an unauthorized access attempt (e.g., incorrect / invalid encryption data) and can take appropriate countermeasures in response. For example, electronic device 5022 can become locked, temporarily or permanently unreadable, and / or notify another electronic device of the attempted breach. Electronic device 5022 can block access to stored object data if the number of failed access attempts exceeds a threshold value.

[0325] Electronic device 5022 transmits object data. In particular, electronic device 5022 transmits object data in response to being activated by communication device 5018 and any security or encryption criteria necessary for transmission being met. At least one processor 5026 of electronic device 5022 retrieves object data from memory 5028 and wirelessly transmits the object data through communication system 5030. Object data may be transmitted in an encrypted state. Object data may be transmitted in an unencrypted state. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 103 / 142 99 / 110

[0326] In 6004, communication device 5018 receives object data that was transmitted by electronic device 5022.

[0327] The communication device 5018 transmits the object data to the user interface system 5010. In some embodiments, the communication device 5018 may validate the object data before transmitting it to the user interface system 5010. The validation of the object data may comprise comparing one or more parts of the object data with the validation data. In some embodiments, the user interface system 5010 validates the object data. Again, the validation of the object data may comprise comparing at least part of the object data with the validation data.

[0328] In some embodiments, the communication device 5018 can process at least some of the object data. Similarly, the user interface system 5010 can process at least some of the object data. For example, the communication device 5018 and / or the user interface system 5010 can be configured to determine a shortcode based, at least in part, on the object data. Alternatively, the shortcode can be provided by the content host 5002. As described herein, the shortcode can be determined using one or more UIDs, one or more encryption keys (e.g., a private key and / or a public key), or another aspect of the object data. The shortcode can be determined based, at least in part, on the time at which communication occurs.For example, a first communication might result in the generation of a different short code than a second communication, which is different from the first. The short code can be stored in the memory of the communication device 5018. The short code can be stored in the memory of the user interface system 5010.

[0329] The 55002 user interface system. In particular, the system of Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 104 / 142 User interface 5010 transmits object data to content host 5002 via communication network 5016. Content host 5002 can validate the object data. Again, object data validation may involve comparing at least some of the object data with validation data. Validation data may be another copy of the object data stored in memory 5006. Validation data may be accessed directly from memory 5006. In some embodiments, validation data may be accessed via communication network 5016, for example, via one or more communication channels requiring one or more authorization signatures. Data transmitted from user interface system 5010 may also include data generated by user interface system 5010 or communication device 5018 based, at least in part, on the object data.It can be said, therefore, that the user interface system 5010 transmits data associated with the object data to the content host 5002.

[0330] As described in this document, the content host 5002 may comprise one or more nodes of a distributed token. In some embodiments, one or more communication devices 5018, the user interface system 5010, and the content host 5002 may validate object data using a lightweight client. One or more communication devices 5018, the user interface system 5010, and the content host 5002 may validate object data using a full node or a trusted node. One or more communication devices 5018, the user interface system 5010, and the content host 5002 may be configured to run an extension software module. The extension software module may be integrated into a browser (e.g., a web browser). Object data validation may comprise the execution of a smart contract, which may consist of one or more cross-chain connected contracts. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 105 / 142 101 / 110

[0331] One or more communication devices 5018, the user interface system 5010 and the content host 5002 can interact with another of these components using a smart contract.

[0332] In 6006, content host 5002 determines the content data associated with the object data. In particular, at least one processor 5004 determines the content data associated with the object data. Content host 5002 can determine the content data based, at least in part, on the data transmitted by the user interface system 5010. In other words, content host 5002 can determine the content data based, at least in part, on the object data. The content data is stored in memory 5006. Content host 5002 can determine a shortcode. The shortcode can be associated with object 5020. Content host 5002 can be configured to determine a shortcode based, at least in part, on the object data or on the data transmitted to content host 5002 from the user interface system 5010.As described in this document, the shortcode can be determined using one or more UIDs, one or more encryption keys (e.g., a private key and / or a public key), or another aspect of the object data. The shortcode can be determined based, at least in part, on the timing of the communication. For example, a first communication might result in a different shortcode than a second communication. The shortcode can be stored in the memory of the 5002 content host. Other object data can be stored on an external content host. The external content host can be separate from the 5002 content host.

[0333] Content data may include game data associated with a specific game storyline. Content data may be associated Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 106 / 142 102 / 110 to a game mission. Content data may be associated with a game character arc. Content data may be associated with game dialogue. Content data may be associated with a game side mission. Content data may comprise user interface data. That is, at least some of the content data may be configured to be rendered for display on a screen.

[0334] In 6008, content host 5002 transmits the content data. Content host 5002 transmits the content data to user interface system 5010 via communication network 5016. User interface system 5010 receives the content data.

[0335] In 6010, a user interface is rendered. The user interface is rendered based, at least in part, on content data. The user interface system 5010 renders a user interface based, at least in part, on content data. In particular, at least one processor of the user interface system 5010 renders the user interface. At least one processor generates the user interface, based, at least in part, on content data. At least one processor of the user interface system 5010 displays the user interface on the display 5012. User interface

[0336] As described in this document, the 5010 user interface system is configured to display a user interface specific to the relevant 5020 object. However, more generally, the 5010 user interface system of this application is configured to display a user interface broadly associated with the 5000 object management system.

[0337] The user interface comprises a panel. The panel allows the user to interact with one or more components of the 5000 object management system (e.g., one or more objects, one or more plots, etc.). The panel Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 107 / 142 103 / 110 allows the user to configure one or more aspects of the 5000 object management system.

[0338] The panel displays an overview of several registered UID key pairs. Each UID key pair is associated with an object, as described in this document. UID key pairs can be arranged into groups for easier management.

[0339] The user interface comprises a Manage UIDs and Keys section. This section allows a user to view, add, remove, and / or group UID key pairs. The user interface comprises a Dynamic Shortcode Generation section. This section allows the generation or selection of shortcodes. The user interface provides options to restrict access to one or more aspects of the 5000 object management system and / or content data based on user roles. This ensures that only authorized individuals can modify, view, or interact with specific content. The user interface provides various backup and restore options. Users can create backups of current configurations and UID key pairs or restore them from previous backups. Backups can be stored in a way that historical information is not lost.That is, the 5002 content host, for example, can store historical backups of UID key pairs, other object data, and / or other content data.

[0340] The user interface supports batch operations. Users can import or export UID key pairs in batches, simplifying the setup process for expansive campaigns or game scenarios. The user interface supports the creation and management of groups. These groups can be associated with specific content, character(s), or game mechanics, allowing for diverse gameplay experiences. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 108 / 142 104 / 110

[0341] As gameplay evolves and content needs to be updated, the user interface allows for version control. The user interface includes a version control section that allows users to track content changes associated with specific tags. This ensures that players are always interacting with the latest and most relevant content.

[0342] Content, whether articles, videos, game levels, or any other digital asset, can be tagged with specific UID criteria. Only users with UIDs (i.e., people with objects where the UID stored on the 5022 electronic device matches these criteria) can access or view this content. For example, a premium article on a news website might only be accessible to UIDs linked to premium user accounts. In a community forum, UIDs linked to moderator profiles grant users the ability to edit or delete other users' posts. On an educational platform, completing a course might add a "course completed" attribute to the UID, unlocking advanced materials or forums. By relying on UID-based authentication, the 5000 object management system can increase security. Unauthorized access attempts can be thwarted, as they would not have the associated UID.Additionally, suspicious or anomalous UID interactions can trigger alerts or temporary suspensions. UIDs can also facilitate community interactions. Users can potentially share aspects of their UID achievements or content access with friends or colleagues, fostering a sense of community and shared progress. For example, on a gaming platform, players might share access to a cooperative game level they've unlocked with their friends for a limited time.

[0343] Figure 48 shows an example of a 7000 graphical user interface, according to some embodiments of the present description. The graphical interface of Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 109 / 142 User 7000 (105 / 110) displays a character identity, Capt of the Odyssey, which is associated with an object's UID. User 7000's graphical interface allows a user to play audio associated with a game. The user of user 7000's graphical interface can be a player in a game. Alternative implementations of the 5000 Object Management System

[0344] In some embodiments, the 5000 object management system can be implemented using a distributed token. The distributed token can take the form of a blockchain. The data described herein as being stored in memory 5006 of the content host 5002 can be stored in the distributed token. It should be understood that one or more independent computing devices can therefore store the data described herein as stored in memory 5006. This configuration advantageously reduces or eliminates the need for a centralized organization to host the described services.

[0345] In some embodiments, the 5000 object management system can be implemented using a distributed token. In some embodiments, the 5000 object management system can be implemented using a plurality of distributed records. Hybrid or cross-chain consensus or interoperability methods can be used. For example, a Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension (BABE) and / or GRANDPA consensus mechanism can be used. At least some of the object data, or a reference to the object data, can be transferred from one distributed token to another. This can be done using a method that involves a message signed using a common security standard (e.g., an XCM security standard).

[0346] The communication device 5018 is described in this document as being in communication with the user interface system 5010 and providing the object data received from the electronic device 5022 to the system of Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 110 / 142 106 / 110 user interface 5010 for subsequent transmission to content host 5002. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the communication device 5018 may be in communication with the content host 5002. For example, the communication device 5018 may be in communication with the content host 5002 via the communication network 5016. In such an embodiment, the communication device 5018 may provide the object data to the content host 5002. That is, the communication device 5018 may bypass providing the object data to the user interface system 5010 for forwarding to the content host 5002 and instead may directly provide the object data to the content host 5002. Advantages

[0347] As described in this document, the 5000 object management system user interface allows for significantly enhanced functionality compared to previous systems. The various sections of the user interface reduce the complexity of use, which significantly lowers the barrier to entry for a tabletop game using the 5000 system. The 5000 object management system and the user interfaces described in this document allow for real-time monitoring of objects during events such as tabletop games, dynamic event configuration, and secure content protection.

[0348] The incorporation of the 4900, 5022 electronic device into the objects described in this document allows the use of unique cryptographic techniques to ensure the continuous integrity of the object data stored in the 5002 content host. The 4900, 5022 electronic devices are tamper-resistant and, with the state of each object being stored in a location accessible to users of the 5000 object management system, the accuracy and continuity of the object data are maintained over time and throughout the game. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 111 / 142 107 / 110 This creates the ability for users to interact with their objects in the real world, with real-world changes being reflected in the 5000 object management system. Specifically, users can trade their 5020 objects in the real world, with the transfer of ownership being recorded in the 5002 content host and / or the 5020 object itself. The increased storage of the 4900, 5022 electronic devices can be crucial when considering storing game-related data directly on the 4900, 5022 electronic devices. Additionally, the enhanced security features of the 4900, 5022 electronic devices ensure that they are more versatile in their applications and suitable for applications requiring a higher level of data protection, data storage, and / or authentic user interaction.

[0349] The user interface described in this document is adapted for the capabilities of the 4900, 5022 electronic devices, taking advantage of their unique security and authentication features. For a tabletop game, such as a Dungeons and Dragons campaign or a similar layered application, the 4900, 5022 electronic devices offer significant advantages in terms of content protection, dynamic interactions, and immersive experiences.

[0350] As players navigate through an adventure, certain miniature interactions can lead to divergent story paths. For example, accessing a specific miniature within the 5000 system might reveal a previously hidden subplot or offer choices that determine the story's outcome. This means that each game session can have varied narratives, making replays fresh and engaging.

[0351] Additionally, the characters are not static. As the miniatures with the electronic devices 4900, 5022 interact, they can gain new abilities, level up, or even undergo transformations. This dynamic progression can be based on achievements, decisions, or interactions in Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 112 / 142 108 / 110 game, ensuring that characters evolve organically based on gameplay.

[0352] The backstories of characters, worlds, and artifacts often remain unexplored in traditional tabletop games. However, with the 4900, 5022, and 5000 electronic devices, players can delve deep into detailed sections of the story by accessing specific miniatures. This adds depth to the game universe and provides enthusiasts with a wealth of lore to explore.

[0353] As players progress, the challenges they face can adapt in real time. Depending on the player's choices or achievements, opponents can become more formidable or puzzles can change, ensuring that players are constantly challenged and engaged.

[0354] By combining the physical act of tabletop gaming with the dynamic delivery of digital content, the 4900, 5022 and 5000 electronic devices transform the gaming experience. This offers an unparalleled level of depth, personalization and player agency, ensuring that each gaming session remains memorable and distinct.

[0355] For example, a player might have miniatures A and B. While each individually reveals certain story arcs, using them together in a specific scenario, due to the combined UID and key interactions, might reveal a secret chapter or side quest that can be displayed and interacted with using the user interface system 5010. Certain miniatures might be introduced as limited edition items with exclusive electronic devices 4900, 5022. Owning and registering such a miniature might provide players with access to exclusive events, character abilities, or secret realms within the game. This exclusivity might increase the miniature's value, both in-game and potentially in real-world markets. As players register more Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pp. 113 / 142 109 / 110 UIDs and keys can be used to achieve predefined milestones. Registering 10 unique thumbnails can grant access to a special narrative arc, while registering 50 can unlock a rare character class or skill.

[0356] Miniatures with rarer electronic devices 4900, 5022 or rarer object dice can bring special advantages in the game. Rare object dice (like a character type) can allow a player to earn in-game currency at a faster rate, increase trade leverage, or even influence the politics or economy of the game world. This injects an element of strategy into miniature collection and trading. Based on the rarity of the registered object dice, the game can adjust its difficulty or present challenges tailored to the player's collection. A player with electronic devices containing rare object dice can face formidable opponents or intricate puzzles, ensuring they remain engaged.

[0357] A character's backstory or motivations can be fragmented across multiple electronic devices. By collecting and recording specific sets of miniatures, players can piece these narratives together, offering a richer understanding of the game's story.

[0358] Given the inherent value associated with rare item dice, players can engage in trading or exchanging miniatures, promoting community interaction. A player might trade a miniature for rare item dice that unlock a mage's ability for one that reveals a hidden plot of the assassin's guild.

[0359] By monitoring UID interactions and access, platforms can gain insights into user behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. This data can further drive content personalization, ensuring users receive the most relevant material for them. Petition 870250100652, dated 03 / 11 / 2025, pages 114 / 142 110 / 110

[0360] In essence, the UID-based user database system offers a multifaceted approach to managing digital platforms. It blends content delivery, privilege management, and user progression into a dynamic and seamless experience, ensuring that users remain engaged, rewarded, and secure.

[0361] The 5000 system, therefore, transcends traditional game mechanisms, weaving in elements of collectability, rarity, and tangible value. The multidimensional approach not only increases the depth of the game but also fosters community building, strategic thinking, and a genuine sense of accomplishment. Such advantages are not made possible by existing systems.
