When my husband DMs, we play at someone else's house. Since he tries for a game with multiple potential subplots, and the characters might go in any one of a number of directions, we end up bringing a huge pile of books with us. At this point we're up to four backpacks, a flight bag, and the miniatures case -- almost more than the two of us can manage. And we have to haul everything up a flight of stairs once we get there. Once the game starts, it's a question of "which backpack is the ___ in?" We need something to make transporting and accessing these books easier. Call it the GM's Portable Bookshelf. I've got a few ideas for the thing. Summary list of requirements:* Portable -- Wheels, pulling handle, lifting handles (for dealing w/ stairs)* Rugged -- Cannot fall apart under abuse* Protect books -- Keep books from getting banged up* Water-resistant -- Keep books from getting wet if transfer from building to car happens during rain* Fit through standard doors -- Not useful if you can't get it out of the house* Horizontal shelf -- Limited usefulness if books are stacked* Lightweight -- Don't want to add lots of extra weight; books are heavy enough on their own* Safe -- Books can't fall out if it's tipped the wrong way* Durable -- Could keep books in it all the time without worrying about shelves sagging, etc.* Semi-modular -- Need to be able to get the thing up a flight or so of stairsOne other thing, which would be nice:* Looks good in the living room -- Avoids complaints from in-laws, etc.(This one isn't an issue for me, but I know gamers who have significant others who would complain if it looked, uh, jurry-rigged.)So... anyone got any suggestions, for materials, design, construction, etc., or for a some company that could build something like this?</blockquote>
