OK, this trip to London didn't go quite as planned... this episode has been edited in London City Airport while the Til Dice gang awaits the release of the Mailer Daemon from a crime he absolutely definitely did commit. Still, we recorded some stuff beforehand that we can share with you, including this World Building discussion on the topic of cities. They are an integral part of our real life and also our fiction - so here's some tips to help you design cities that are hopefully as worthy of adventure as Ankh-Morpork, Lankhmar, Greyhawk and... Aberdeen? Along the way are all the references you can expect from a serious RPG podcast - you know, stuff like Hachikō and licensed brothels and why you need strong drill bits to put a curtain rail up in a Glasgow house.
Then our roadshow episode gets even more on the road as we share with you our London Travelogue. We give you our thoughts from some parts of the city that may be of interest to our listeners. This includes discussing some of the local geek and gaming shops like Leisure Games and Orc's Nest, but also some of the other sights that we think of as interesting or inspiring. We aren't doing it alone either - Tuppy shares her thoughts on which department store has the worst decor, the Mailer Daemon recalls the best thing Aleister Crowley ever did, and Twike is too busy freaking out about London problems to tell us about someone who has been following us on all our socials.
On top of that you've got references to art of both the classy and non-classy variety, a tirade about the opening hours of chocolate shops on bank holidays, some political commentary from Tuppy on Border Force, the appearance of a strangely familiar sounding voice behind a till, and even a little cut back to Scotland to see what the team at Shoved Granny Games are working on... and what it doesn't have any of.
