In August 2024 we presented the Historica Arcanum Crusades Bundle, our second offer featuring the Historica Arcanum historical-fantasy campaign settings from Turkish publisher Metis Creative for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition and compatible systems. The Historica Arcanum timeline spans many centuries. In our August 2023 Historica Arcanum Bundle we visited the 13th-Century Silk Road and an alternate 19th-Century Istanbul (not Constantinople!). In that month Metis expanded the Historica Arcanum setting with its Era of the Crusades Kickstarter, which raised a spectacular US$388K from 3,446 backers. This Crusades Bundle presents the setting sourcebook, the full-length campaign The Sigil of Jerusalem, and the soundtrack from that Kickstarter. And Metis continued to expand the line with the Historica Arcanum: Echoes of Renaissance Kickstarter campaign, which reveals the shadows of Venice and its Grand Carnival.
There were three titles in our Crusades Collection (retail value $40) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete Era of the Crusades setting sourcebook, the full-length campaign The Sigil of Jerusalem, and the free Era of the Crusades Soundtrack. As a convenience to our customers, we also included the free Era of the Crusades Digital Library with maps, wallpapers, virtual tabletop tokens, and more.
