@ Brian861 was a great series but Drawing of the Three is a big stand out for me... don't even get me started :)
@ Girlystevedave Well, they're not so secret now, are they? .... There is a Public secret handshake and then a secret secret handshake but I can't talk about that one until I have clocked up 5000 posts here :P
@ anyone who is listening .......... Is Brian a popular name here...... asking for a friend.
Yeah a few Brians here. You can search the members list here.

Read every King book except the Dark Tower series. Read one 30 years ago, stared a second but I did not like it. Trying again. Reading the Gunslinger. I believe I read one of the others and not the Gunslinger so when I started the second it made no sense and tossed it aside. Wanted to avoid thinking King was losing his stuff.
Welcome! Enjoy your DT voyage.
Haha. And then I'm guessing there's a secret secret secret handshake that doesn't even "exist", huh? :lol:Quote:

Sorry for taking so long to reply. It’s been so long since I’ve used a forum that I’ve forgotten how to keep up. Add that to the ever growing list of how Facebook has ruined my life! :doh:Quote:

I powered through until I finished Wizard and Glass and realized I'm missing out on all the connections from his other novels and stories. I decided then I'd read his work in chronological order and ordered a copy of Carrie. I'm now about a quarter of the way through The Stand and still kicking myself for not picking up this hobby much earlier in my life. Yet, the bright side, as you said, is I have SO much left of this amazing author's work to read!Quote:

So, as far as Dark Tower goes, have you paused at Wizard and Glass for now so you can read his other works?
I’m very excited about the adventures ahead. The beautiful thing is that with the internet being the wealth of info it is nowadays, I can find an answer to almost any question about any book I may have. Also, there’s always a picture I can find that’ll help me visualize something if needed. It’s great!
Yep, I finished Wizard & Glass a few months ago and then read Carrie. I’ve been reading a couple books by other authors in between each SK book and I’m just about to finish the mind blowingly amazing piece of literary fiction that is The Stand. So, still got a ways to go before I resume DT, but I’m not complaining. Just wish I was a little bit quicker of a reader, but there’s a bright side to that being I’ll never get to a point in my life where I don’t have something great to read.
Welcome one and all... take a look around, relax and enjoy..
Thanks Sai Sheb. Starting to get the hang of it finally.Quote:

Hello everyone,
I haven't been to the forum since the .net days but was looking into the community after a lively discussion about The Tower at work.
I discovered The Dark Tower in middle school by pure accident (Ka?) and falling into the world saved me from a lot of sad and lonely teenage nights
Favorite Character: Eddie. He had a gun fight naked. Enough said.
Favorite Book: Wolves of Calls
Age 34.
Excited to be here.
:smile_002: he said "naked"...:emot-roflolmao:Quote:

I've recently re-read the Dark Tower series; I read the first three books in the 90s and then the rest as they were released. I've decided to create a Dark Tower adventure campaign for our RPG group and will be scouring the board for obscure bits of lore I can incorporate!
Favorite character(s): Jake and Oy
Favorite DT book: The Wastelands, although Wolves of the Calla is a very close second
Age: "Old enough to vote and not old enough for Social Security" ;)

I think I introduced myself to you in another thread but if not, welcome to this awesome community!Quote:

Deadlands would be obvious, but I'm not a fan of all the game mechanics. One rule set I'm thinking of adapting is called "The Strange" http://thestrangerpg.com/ Another is Cypher: http://cypher-system.com/what-is-the-cypher-system/
Clear as mud yet? :)
So do we get to wear rubber masks while playing?
Only joking! (Or am I) welcome aboard the good ship lollipop Badwolfgirl...
