Citizen Keen Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 So, I'm reading Stephen King's Wizard and Glass in the Dark Tower series, and I was cuious if anyone had recreated these books. I think that the series is a great combination of epic fantasy, Western Hero, post apocalypric scenarios and gritty science fiction. Anyone done anything with this?

Geryon Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Re: Childe Rolande to the Dark Tower Came I had begun such a project, but i didn't get much further than the plan-the-planning stage. I decided to wait until dark champions comes out (gun tricks being a huge part of any gunslinger campaign) as well as the final chapter in the dark tower series, which should clear up a lot of the questions raised in the series. I realized there really were no racial character packages (as 99% of the PCs would probably be humans unless you really want to stray away from the Canon) and as far as class-like character packages go, basically all you have is some "gunslinger-specific" skills which essentially every PC would take. Playing in the prior, more fantasy oriented, world described in wizard and glass then moving on to the "world has moved on" era probably has the most appeal for a fantasy hero game. Some Recommended reading: All the dark tower books (duh) The Eye of the Dragon (by King) Robin Furth's Dark Tower Concordance (nothing closer to a DT sourcebook than this) The Talisman AND Black House (by king and straub) This is a different fantasy setting, and I think it might almost make for a better setting than DT. In any case, the two are linked in many ways. Also check out http://www.thedarktower.net/ I was using it heavily when I was researching this setting for a campaign.

Susano Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Re: Childe Rolande to the Dark Tower Came Here is my initial attempt at Roland. http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionsbook/gunslinger.html Once THE DARK TOWER is released I plan on revising it. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
