When I hear Dark Tower all I can think of is this game I played the hell out of in the 80's:

Someone released a highly scripted and faithful Tabletop Simulator module for that recently.

Ha! Hopefully it includes all of the cheesy sounds.  :P

Been so long since reading the series, I don't even remember most specifics. 

There's always "Beans, beans, the musical fruit..."

..the more you eat, the more you toot.

Sorry, must have been some cross-pollination from my grade-school memories of the song.

It does indeed! -- up to and including the grinding of the motor as the internal 'faces' of the tower rotate to light up the appropriate screens.

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I may very well read the whole series again; including book 4.1/2, although it adds nothing to the main story line.

I'm going to have to give it another try.

Wait. I thought Frodo destroyed the Dark Tower when he threw the One Ring into the fires of Mt. Doom? Maybe that was a 'decoy' tower to fool them.  ???  The damned thing never looked too stable to me anyway. And with those big, black Dragon-Things landing and taking off all the time, no wonder it was falling apart. Trump could've fixed it up though.  :nerd:

Ok. Kind of Planescape Torment meets The High-Plains Drifter? Could work. And maybe very well too. Thanks for the link Mirth.  O0

^ Oh, that's a good mix!  O0 The series is also kind of a nexus for a unified Kingiverse.
