About this model
A black steel fire escape landing made of open grating on a slim frame, the lowest platform in the set. It looks like the kind bolted to the side of a city tenement. It is about 16 ft long and 4.5 ft deep, roughly three squares by one, and sits on a 2.5 ft tall frame.
Build it against a brick wall with the stairs and railings to give a city map some vertical play. Characters on the platform overlook the alley and can shoot down at targets below. The grating is narrow, so it becomes a squeeze where only one person passes at a time.
Ideas for the table
- A burglar is caught halfway up the fire escape as the party enters the alley.
- The bottom ladder is pulled up, so someone has to boost a friend to reach the landing.
- Gang lookouts stand on the landing and call warnings down to the street.
