Description[edit]

Hot Spots is a two-volume companion piece to Mercenary's Handbook 3055. It provides details of the Clan Invasion-era for custom-built scenarios, with materials for the gamemaster to provide the players. The Gamemasters Book, the first volume (notable for the red BattleTech logo on the bottom of the front cover), provides gamemaster-level details of the contracts available from the hiring hall, including maps, behind-the-scenes info, a contract template, and an index to the contracts. The Contracts volume (notable for the red Contracts on the front cover) is the source for the materials the gamemaster may choose to provide the players, with "publicly" available information on the world of interest.

From the back cover[edit]
