Why not make a book "GURPS Hot Spots", about the Italian years of lead?

Maybe the next Renaissance-era Hot Spot could be Prague or Paris or one of the other big cities outside Italy. Or maybe hit us with the Medieval era for those cities.

Today's Pyramid is Hot Spots and more support for the area.

Just finished reading the whole thing. Overall, I'd recommend it.

The only major issue I had was that using Italian names for Italian cities (but not for others, for some reason) in the main text seems needlessly confusing and using 'calle' and 'rio' instead of 'street' and 'canal' was downright irritating for me. It doesn't seem to add anything to the experience except forcing me to look up which was which a couple of times. I really hope future Hot Spots don't use this pattern, especially if they deal with areas which use languages which are harder for English speakers to remember (i.e. pretty much anything which isn't Romance or Germanic).
