Ibn Battuta - The Mad Sultan - Extra History - #3
This is just becoming a collection of really bad ways to execute people.
Suggestion Survey is Open through 3/22
Our theme for March/April surveys is ROME: EMPERORS & EMPIRES.For centuries, Rome dominated the Mediterranean world. In this series, we’ll take a closer look at one episode in this history—perhaps the life of Caesar, Spartacus’ rebellion, or that time Caligula tried to murder his mom with a booby-trapped party yacht. From the Colosseum to the Capitaline, we’ll explore the glory (and the gory) that was Rome.Some notes about your suggestion...

Sneak Peak at 2020 EC Poster
Normally we release a EC staff poster around the same time as PAX West, but with New Horizons just around the corner, we're all getting a little /too/ into the game.The poster will be up on the 20th at extracredits.store but we hope you like this little preview for now. The art was done by David Hueso, the excellent artist behind Extra Sci Fi's art.What animal villager do you picture yourself as?

The Monkey King - Immortality Boogaloo - Extra Mythology - #2
Sometimes you just need a little extra immortality. You know. In case the first one breaks. But Monkey King might have taken it a little too far by the end of this video.

Extra History Presents... Joan of Arc!
Seemed appropriate for International Women's Day to show off some of the artwork that David's been working on, like this beautiful full piece of the Maid of OrleansI love how David did the gold on the halo and the stained glass in the background.And if you want to rewatch her series, as well as the other ladies of history, we put together a big playlist of them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5D_jre1khEEz5N7O0XzJkqk
Ibn Battuta - The Great Traveler - Extra History - #1
Ever since we mentioned him in the Mali series, we've been dying to talk about Battuta. As expected from a guy who wrote a 1000 page travelogue, Ibn Battuta's story is very cool, but the dude has 0 chill.

Do You Own Your Games? - Retrogaming Responsibly - Extra Credits
ROMs offer a lot of opportunities to save games that would otherwise be abandoned, lost to time and too difficult or expensive to uncover. But there's one BIG question that hangs over this kind of archival work. Are ROMs legal? Nick did such a good job with the art here. Never gonna feel comfortable about Mario ever again.

Way back, we used to do some poster-style art of our series. With the new Patreon, we wanted to bring some of that back. David Hueso, the main artist on Extra Sci Fi, did this awesome piece inspired by The Origin of Dragons episodeWho knows? Maybe it will be a physical poster sometime in the future ;)

This series has so much fun artwork and does a great job jumping from more crowded scenes like the one with all of the monkeys to more peaceful frames.Out of curiosity, do people prefer more simple backgrounds or the detailed ones?

The Haitian Revolution - Roots of Liberty - Extra History - #6
And here we come full circle. After fighting France for their freedom, then uniting against international powers, you would expect that the fighting would be over for Haiti. But Napoleon Bonaparte had different plans. He would send 80,000 men under the command of Charles Leclerc to fight and arrest Louverture. But Louverure's words will prove to be prophetic. And when the diplomatic Louverture is removed from the picture, France will have to ...

The 1918 Flu Pandemic: Coronavirus Update
We've seen a lot of people returning to our 1918 Flu Pandemic series and drawing comparisons between that outbreak and the recent Coronavirus scare. Lead writer of Extra History Robert Rath (who lives in Hong Kong) provides a short video retrospective on the series in light of recent events, describes the quirks of life under voluntary self-quarantine, and shows us his castle of toilet paper and hand soap.
