This looks like it may be big. People are getting phone calls, emails, instant messages, etc. I set up a channel on irc.chat-solutions.org called #darktower for discussion, and I'll probably post links to the Dark Tower message board and the newsgroup so they can come chat.

There are 2 more books in the Dark Tower series, and both have been written. Book 6, Song of Susannah, will be released in August 2004, and book 7, The Dark Tower, will be released in November 2004. So after a 23 year wait, we will find out what happens to Roland's ka-tet within 12 months.

Only problem is, then it's over! Confused

Well, with the ending of Project Mu and Acheron being too far into progression for me to keep up, i hope this is something i'm able to get into in the beginning. Fan based or not. Project MU was fan based, and it was amazing.
I have not read any of the Dark Towers series. I'm more of a Clive Barker fan. =) But i'm still very interested in seeing how this develops.

Hrm. Well, it's not an ARG. =) It was kinda fun while it lasted, though. If anyone wants to track the progress that was made and how it all came to be solved, i srongly urge you to check out the (currently) 56 pages worth of messages regarding Sombracorp.

Naaaah. That can't be the end... I was hoping some fan saw my thread back in the fall when I said "I want a Dark Tower ARG" and thought "hmmm, interesting." Maybe the metacortex people. After that game is done, are they doing something else?

Anyway, I have a question unrelated to this possible ARG. This could possibly be a spoiler for those who haven't read Book V yet, so don't keep reading if you don't want it spoiled.

At the very end of "Wolves" hard back edition, after Roland says "yes" it says:

Bangor, Maine
December 15, 2002

Is that a misprint? Because this also appears after Stephen Kings Author's Note when he talks about donations to help Frank Muller recover.

So is this a misprint in the hard back edition or just one of the mind f*cking twists like the light sabers and Harry Potter sneetches and 'Salem's Lot novel?

SK does this for all his books - puts the date of completion (sometimes he has the dates of writing) and the place written at the very end. Consider it out-of-plot material. Wink
