So, how did King's short story turn into a novel that spawned seven sequels? Well, it's kind of an interesting story if you have a few minutes… Volume 2, The Drawing of the Three, turns thirty-five, and finally, most importantly, and the reason that I'm here with you all today, Volume 1, The Gunslinger, turns forty. In 2022, Volume 8, The Wind Through the Keyhole turns ten, Volume 4, Wizard and Glass, turns twenty-five. This year, four of those volumes are celebrating milestone anniversaries. Of course, we could celebrate the existence of The Dark Tower cycle every day, but this year is a bit different.
#JOURNEY TO THE SAVAGE PLANET SEALED DOOR SERIES#
Now, 52 years later, King's eight-volume series sits on bookshelves across the planet thousands of pages open a door to one of the most enchanting worlds this particular FANGORIA contributor has ever had the pleasure of visiting. On June 19th, 1970, still four years from publishing his first novel, an author named Stephen King wrote the following sentence: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." In doing this, Stephen King sealed his fate, and became destined to write his magnum opus, The Dark Tower. Sometimes good things come to pass, sometimes bad regardless, it is a wheel that turns, undeterred.

While flying planetside in their shuttle Stipes debriefs them about what little he knows about Project Menagerie and Lord Vader's interest. Stipes to take four Storm Troopers (the Players) down to investigate. They immediately alert Captain Gibbs of the situation when he receives a holo-transmission from Darth Vader because he has "sensed a disturbance" and reminds Gibbs that Project Menagerie is important to him and therefore the Emperor.Īt that, Gibbs learns that Uriel's team cannot be raised via radio and he assigns Lt. Uriel, four Storm Troopers, a pilot, and two technicians departed for the pyramid via shuttle approximately six hours ago when Ariel begins howling in pain and her lab techs are forced to sedate her. The scuttlebutt on the ship is that Lord Vader himself has taken an interest in their work. The Ajax has been hosting Uriel and Ariel Gonzaga, identical twin scientists and the daughters of Moff Lyra Gonzaga, who are heading up the mysterious Project Menagerie. Morale is low due to the Rebellion's defeat of the Empire.īoontu is a world dominated by bogs, however, there is an ancient pyramid that is visible from orbit because there is no vegetation within 1/2 a mile of it. The Players are Imperial Storm Troopers on the Ajax, an Interdictor orbiting the planet Boontu, a few months after the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin. I really like TinyD6 and find it to be streamlined and intuitive, two things that I think are essential for a good experience. Last night I ran a one-shot using TinyD6 for Star Wars and I think it went great.
