GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Intrigue and politics. Artistry and adventure. Festivals and food. Welcome to the center of the world -- Florence!

Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence is your tour guide through one of the most exhilarating locations in history, the cradle of the most explosive intellectual and artistic era the world has seen. Florence! For fans of history, the name conjures dozens of adventure possibilities; those with only a dim memory from a long-ago classroom have yet to know of the city's mystique. This book is designed to cater to both groups -- scholars and neophytes alike will find themselves enlightened.

No mere travelogue, Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence has been designed for gamers first. Mostly generic (with a smattering of GURPS information), it's full of useful and interesting information -- history, notable people, places of interest, laws and politics -- that makes the city come alive for roleplayers. Each section also contains one or more adventure seeds that can turn those facts into encounters that will immerse heroes in Florence's charms and intrigues, while a detailed "Campaigns" chapter gives ideas for how to work the city into an ongoing game . . . including many unusual ways to incorporate Florence into other settings!

With Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence, history isn't just something to be read about -- it's waiting to be made.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
