One of the greatest cities of all time is waiting for you. Book passage now, with GURPS Hot Spots: Constantinople, 527-1204 A.D. This supplement provides complete gamer-geared information on this magnificent metropolis, including GURPS City Stats details on three iconic eras.

It also provides travel details that make the city come alive; learn about the Constantinople outlook on life, the food and attire, the customs, and much more.

Finally, it delivers a trove of advice for using Constantinople in a campaign, or adapting it to other settings and eras.
