What’s the opinion of The Design Mechanism’s Fioracitta? Looks very interesting!

Halfway through it at the moment and will need some time to mull it over. It's very Guy Gavriel Kay if anybody has read his books.What’s the opinion of The Design Mechanism’s Fioracitta? Looks very interesting!
Did anyone mention the systemless supplements about Old Shanghai (in the 30ies)?
Both of which are solid although I am biased in my assessment because I was one of the boxed set authors.I'll second this - though my current version is the one from Necromancer Games (I have their Wilderlands Box set as well)
The New Orleans book is particularly good.The various CoC "Secrets of" city books are generally very good with lots of general detail and local plot hooks to tie into the local history.
I have owned this for a while but haven't made the time to read (I have somehow acquired a lot of Frog God material). If it's not too much trouble I would appreciate if you could offer a few highlights or explain why you like it.
I've actually been reading over this the past couple weeks, looking for inspiration for starting a CoC game soon. I'm really enjoying the book. It's a very detailed city, with every street named and something interesting on every block. There's a mix of references to Lovecraft's material and new stuff, and probably plenty references to other material I'm just not familiar with. The town directory is a wonderful inclusion, making it easy to find whatever the investigators are looking for - churches, hotels, newspapers, evil cutlists, and so on. And the included scenarios all seem like they'd be fun. Very derivative of Lovecraft stories, but that gives them a nice classic feel that I think would make them a good introduction to the Miskatonic Valley region.I am going to read Chaosium's Arkham Unveiled to prep for a future game. It's one of those books I have owned for ages but never got around to reading. I will let you guys know if there's anything interesting to report.

No, they haven't... Sounds like my kind of thing, spill it.

"My city, I can not deny her. My city screams. She is my mother. She is my lover, and I am her Spirit."Luna city from Mutant Chronicles Resurrection because the moon is one big city full of corruption and sin.
You know, I've hardly even read Irillian let alone used it, despite having it in full (I think I did lose one of the issues, but it's also in a Best of volume). I often even forget about it unless I've recently looked at White Dwarf...My all-time favourite RPG city remains White Dwarf's Irilian.
Which ones do you like best?

Why is that?
I totally agree! I mean, martial artists clashing in the streets/on roofs, big businesses, possibly pirates, mystics, political and general plots&skulduggery, multiple Evil Empires (TM), Triads, gun-totting street gangs, drugs, ninja, poverty, extremely high crime rate, sleazy entertainment, an incoming World War, ethnic strife, at least two waves of refugees (one of them incoming at the moment), multiple territorial zones that you can reach by merely crossing a street, instant communications between wizard towers a.k.a. places with telephone lines...Wow those look amazing, 1930s China is a highly underused amusement park of a setting for RPGs.
