Another Historical/Fantasy game setting - Historica Arcanum

Historica Arcanum from Metis Creative is an interesting take on a historical fantasy setting, set in a fantasy version of Turkey from the 13th century onward. The main point of interest is that it comes from a Turkish publisher and has been written and extensively researched by people who are very familiar with the real historical culture, not the usual Hollywood / Weird Tales westernized and garbled version of it that turns up in the few games that even mention the Middle East. It's for a modified version of 5E rules with a lot of adaptions to the legends and culture of the region.

This is a very interesting idea, supported by an impressive amount of material including audio recordings, and makes me wish that I like fantasy RPGs more than I do. I suspect that a good few fantasy and SF authors could benefit from some of the research that has gone into into it. At this price it's a real bargain.
