It made me think, Hampstead Heath could be a good setting for a game of Empire of the Dead (or two). After all it most likely was haunted by a different bread of hound in 1988, Lycaon.

After Hampstead Heath we walked through regents park; went through a couple of squares; wet to Gordon's for wine and cheese; we also went to a couple of pubs for beer while walking past Big Ben; the shard; the Tate modern and more exciting stuff.
We then took. The tube to China Town for dinner. I continue to be impressed with the tube and transport system, mainly how vast and expansive it is, as well as its age.
The walls in this part look a little bit like a Dalek.
On the way home we walked past on the way home we went to a bar with 27 beers on tap and this shop:
It looked like a very cool store, plus love the classic film Forbidden Planet. Taking a closer look at the shop I thought although there is plenty of cool models they were all rather expensive and wouldn't improve my life a whole lot. For example the 50pound 4th doctor scarf.
We finished off out night by taking a double decker bus home, sitting at the front of the top story.
Once again because I made this post on an ipad formatting is a bit off.
ReplyDeleteVery cool day out then. Looks liked fun!
ReplyDeleteSounded like a damn nice day out but nine hours of walking....I would have died!
ReplyDeleteCheers Francis. The walking surprisingly didn't kill me although I felt it the next day!
DeleteWhat a great way to see London. I love how you manage to link so many things back to gaming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, it has been a bit of fun linking things back.
DeleteGood to see you enjoying London, and good point about the Heath in London, it would be a welcome chance to break up terrain on the board with half city and half rural, until I get more buildings made, for EotD!
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott. I agree it would be a good way to make a half and half board. I recall we played a game like that, ironically it was my supernatural branch who started in the rural area and lycaons in town.
DeleteI miss English pubs!
ReplyDeleteThere are a number of notable people who used to live around the heath - didn't Keats live around those parts, and other writers from Evelyn Waugh to George Orwell (to cover the political spectrum) as well lived near by. Perhaps a faction of famous writers could be in order for EOTD? In fact, I think some were sculpted by Westwind weren't they?
