I want to do a dark tower prequel campaign (gunslingers dispatching law and order in the name of Gilead, the civilized bastion of humanity)
I want to represent the clash of values from the capital, (allegedly source of all virtue) vs the colonized unstable borders (wild but with their own ways, truths, rules, etc); so not all wildlings are willing to cooperate, even though Gilead supposedly is all help to their ways of living (they ensue safety, progress, etc).
Which are some situations in which I can represent that clash of beliefs, besides "My gods are better than yours"?
Which choices can I put before the players so they have something to think about instead of "I go in, shoot the shit, i go out?
Also, I know that /tg/ likes to reccomend Dogs in the Vineyard for all Dark Tower needs, but I see it as an unnecesary mess and I already have a system for it.
I only need some examples on how to make it more interesting.

Have them visit a place where guns are prohibited.

Just browsing in to say that the first few books were good, then king just went full retard and it all ended just so badly
The final 3 books were complete and utter garbage. You can certainly tell he wrote his best stuff in his younger years and later in life just gave up on being a good, coherent writer.
That goes for all his works really: unabridged version of the stand that was printed in the 80ies was great, the first few dark tower novels he wrote in the same timeframe were great. Anything he's written in the last 20-25 years is absolute shit.

Yes.
Yet the 8th Book on the Dark Tower is back to amazing.
I think it was like he wrote 5 6 and 7th in a hurry because he thought he was going to die anytime soon

Very nice idea. I'll surely do. But not on the first mission.

This is the truth. He churned those three out while he was still in "just got hit by a van" mode.

Have you read The Wind Through The Keyhole yet? If not, do that.

I kindly disagree, though this kind of disagreement is 110% based on personal preference. I do have to admit that I saw the end coming, and knew what was gonna happen after Roland finally made it into the tower; but I still enjoyed that last bit. The whole North Pole village thing right before it, not so much.

You're talking about Book 7,"The Dark Tower". Book 8 is >>54871254
and is a continuation of the story Roland tells in Wizard and Glass wrapped inside a story of Mid-World's past. It's really good.

Admittedly i never read it. Its been at least 10 years since ive read any of them actually. If i remember correctly W&G was the one with Roland and his original gang go counting and Roland bangs the big boob chick and they kill all those harriers in that box canyon with the thinny in it.
THAT was a really good book, so of the 8th one is like that, I might have to 'obtain' a copy
