Rune Dice - Runic Die - Elder Futhark

cults3d

The shape of this die design is deltoidal icositetrahedron, and it has 24 sides! That means each one of these dice have exactly enough faces to contain all the runes from the elder futhark. The dice are intended to be used for rune readings, which are normally done by blindly pulling small rune tablets out of a bag. With this you can do nearly exactly the same reading, but by simply just rolling a die. The primary difference though, is in a typical rune reading there is one more blank tablet without a rune, meaning the question cannot be answered when pulled. Also a simple coin flip can be used to determine if the rune is pulled upside-down (merkstave) or not. The .stl file is scaled where the dice are slightly smaller than a golf ball and can easily be carried in one's pocket. I've found that any smaller and the rune impressions on the dice faces become too small for my printer and are somewhat hard too read.
