Why: Seems the best choice
Side: white
Piece: Pawn
Who: Roland
He is a pawn of the forces he has no control over, and he is a true samurai - you know how much depends on pawns in chess. He is one of the chosen few (gunslingers). He is dead set on getting to that last row, where everything will change for him and he will make all the difference to the current game.
Interesting take, Jean. Who then would be your white King?
Haha....duh.....that would have to be Stephen KING!!!
Hmm...Roland as a pawn, nice take on that one Jean..never thought of that perspective. No one has posted any suggestions for the Black side, many are obvious..but many are not.
taking into account Jean's take on Roland above...then is TMIB also a pawn of the Crimson King? Where would Dandelo fit in?..Sylvia Pittison? Who would be equivalent for the black?
Side: Black
Piece: Bishop
Name: Randall Flagg/TMIB
Why: He's the high priest of chaos!!!
On that note,
Side White
Piece: Bishop
Name: Father Callahan
Why? Duh
Still trying to figure out where ole bad boy Eldred Jonas would fit in...especially since
Spoiler:
so I ask, if you'd put TMIB as a black bishop, then what about Eldred..Clay...and Roy...all pawns? hmm..I'd say Eldred maybe as a bishop or rook, the other two as pawns,,,what do y'all think about dem Big Coffin Hunters? 09-24-2011 07:01 PMBROWNINGS CHILDEI see them as Knights, mainly because of the horses. 09-25-2011 12:22 AMMerlin1958 09-26-2011 08:20 AMBad KarmaQuote:Round (my) these here parts, Rooks are Castles...Towers....so many names for them... 09-26-2011 11:17 AMcostanzaWaG spolers
Spoiler: 09-26-2011 05:22 PMBriceI was so hoping when I saw this thread that someone was going to make a chess set. <_< 09-26-2011 05:25 PMMerlin1958 09-26-2011 08:17 PMBROWNINGS CHILDEI would sooooo buy one. 09-27-2011 08:58 AMBad KarmaQuote:Thanks for your input! I think, though, you should edit your quote and put some SPOILER tabs around it, as a courtesy to anyone who hasn't already read WAG...
I just thought since Jonas is one of the "primary" characters of WAG...he should be included in the set...when you think about it, filling each black piece with a different character can be a challenge...there's quite a few spots to fill.
I would agree with you that Depape and Reynolds may not deserve a place on the board, but Jonas does, if for no other reason than how often he appears in WAG. Without Jonas and the BCH in WAG, the story would be missing quite a bit...quaiff? 09-27-2011 09:03 AMBad KarmaI was thinking Shardik belongs in there too, somewhere.... hmm... how to incorporate the guardians? Gonna have to draw something up now... hehehe 09-28-2011 04:47 AMCRinVA 09-28-2011 07:52 AMpathoftheturtle 09-28-2011 08:14 AMBad KarmaYeah, now that I think about it, yes...RED for sure. So many other characters out there! Here's a tough one...Does Roland's mother deserve a spot on the board? Personally, I think she and Steven influenced Roland so much (mayhap more than "typical" parents) that each deserve a spot...
But, does Gabrielle end up on the Red side or the White?
In the DT Chess set, maybe there should be a "Grey" set as well...hmm.. 09-28-2011 08:19 AMpathoftheturtleOr a "Pink" set? Doubly appropriate! :rofl: 10-28-2011 06:16 AMSalSolomonI know it's a lot of work, but I think you really have to propose an entire set. One piece per member is easy. I can justify why 4 different characters should be the white king, or the white bishop, etc. Making the actual decisions to leave some out and keep some in is the tough part. 16 characters on each side. Who's in, who's out? 8 major white pieces, the 5 of the ka-tet almost have to be in there right? The King is what gets protected in chess, that could be: the rose, the tower, SKing, the beam (bear/turtle) or the beams generally. The queen is the most powerful piece, could be the beam or beams, could be Roland or King.
For the Black, Crimson King, Walter, Mordred, need to be key pieces. Farson is a big deal, I guess. I would go with Stephen King and Crimson King as the 2 kings. Walter and Roland could be the queens.
