'Time Crystals' sounds very retro Sci fi. I'm sure Dr Who has fought a rubber masked alien or 2 over Time Crystals.

  There was an entire season arc where the Fourth Doctor collected the pieces of the Key to Time, which were "crystals" that assembled into a little plastic cube...

    Isn't that the plot to Through the Dragons Eye[1]? Although that came 15 years later, it could just be ripping off a combination of The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Dark Crystal though.

      Yeah, "collect all the pieces of the macguffin[0]" is a really common plot device, especially in anime and obviously RPGs. It's a really simple way to show "progress" without needing to bother with character development or power scaling. Bonus points if each piece of the thing has a unique power that turns out to be the cause of the conflict of the week.
