One of my all-time favorite campaigns was set in the Kingverse.

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Campaign:End-World

Read the first four books, read Wolves of the Calla if you really want to, skip 6 and 7, make sure to read The Wind Through The Keyhole and The Little Sisters of Eluria, as well as The Talisman and Black House (Black House especially as parts of it take place in Mid-World and End-World).

If you really like the setting after getting through those, you might want to get a copy of the DT Concordance, which is a setting bible. It's very handy because there are a LOT of crossovers between the DT books and King's other books.

In before Rowling copypasta

But isn't that the big finale? He even named it "The Dark Tower." That sounds kind of important.

Man, that is like, years of reading ahead of me. Wish King had an editor who could've trimmed down each of his books to 200 pages or so.

Turns out that saying about how "it's not the destination that's important but the journey" holds true for Roland of Gilead.

The books are okay but it's a let-down because 5, 6 and 7 were written in haste because he had gotten hit by a van and thought he might die before he finished the series AND IT SHOWS.

Alternatively, you can just wait for the movie to come out.

It's my understanding the movie takes place after the novel series, as a sequel or something. It's not a summary of the whole series.

If you're familiar with the concept of ka is a wheel, you're not far off-base.

My wet dream setting, you mean?

I haven't finished the series, so I sadly cannot read your spoilers, but I'm hoping it all makes sense somehow. Maybe then I'll understand why Roland is white in the novels and black in the movie.

isn't there a tv series coming out also?

Yeah, it makes sense if you've read the whole thing.

>isn't there a tv series coming out also?
Apparently it's based on the backstory from Wizard and Glass where we see Roland as a 14 year old.
