RPG Crystal Recortable
I'm always on the lookout for easy tabletop gaming props. This crystal is a good one! Officially this model is an "Elven Crystal," but it will work in different types of gaming scenarios, not just Fantasy. This model is part of the Lord Zsezse Works collection of Elven Papercraft which was part of a 2015 Kickstarter project. The template for the crystal is currently available as a "pay what you want" item on Drivethru RPG. The model includes both the crystal and the base. The PDF template is customizable with three different base materials and five different crystal colors. The finished model is 2.8" (7 cm) tall.
