Hey everyone! We're back with another look at what's coming in Roll with History, and this week we're focusing on two d20s at opposite ends of the timeline.
One comes from the birth of our solar system - the other comes from the final days of medieval armor.
Both are real, authenticated, and ready to be rolled!
🌠 Campo del Cielo Meteorite d20 Formed ~4.5 billion years ago | Fell to Earth ~2500 BCE
Thousands of years ago, a massive metal meteorite broke up over the skies of northern Argentina and rocketed to the ground. The impact was witnessed by local indigenous groups, many of whom lost their lives in the forest fires that followed. Oral histories of indigenous groups tell us that the fall from the sky was witnessed and sparked massive forest fires. The impact area was originally called Piguem Nonralta by the locals, though Spanish colonists renamed it in 1576 CE as Campo del Cielo, or "Field of Heaven."
The Campo del Cielo meteorite is thought to have formed 4.5 billion years ago during the creation of our solar system. With a total recovered weight of 220,562 lbs, it is possibly the heaviest meteorite to have ever been recovered on Earth.
This d20 contains an authentic fragment of the Campo del Cielo meteorite, recovered from Argentina and sourced and authenticated through Mini Museum.
⚔️ Medieval Chain Mail d20 15th Century Central European Hauberk Valued for flexibility in combat, chain mail was the primary defensive armor in Europe for more than one thousand years. It was flexible and light enough to keep a warrior unencumbered (though not exactly comfortable), but tough enough to fend off blows from enemies.
Mail armor was made by punching or riveting thousands of metal rings, then weaving them together in tightly interlocking patterns. Entire shirts - called hauberks - were built ring by ring by skilled blacksmiths.
This d20 contains an authentic mail link from a 15th-century Central European hauberk, sourced and authenticated by Mini Museum before being sealed into the die.
Why These Matter These two d20s couldn’t be more different - one born in space before Earth existed, the other shaped by human hands in the final chapter of medieval warfare.
We're launching Roll with History on January 27! Thanks again for following along!
