The Tower Junkie

The next beautiful man in black. I love him very much!

You know, I like to joke about how being a Tower Junkie really does give you brainworms and that you start to see it everywhere.

Then Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader goes and drops this fucking conversation and I realize that, actually, I'm very correct for seeing the Tower everywhere.

“Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?”

“And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended.”

– Needful Things (1991)

Come one and all! This tournament will pit all 67 of King's iconic novels against one another to find out once and for all what the BEST King book is. This list excludes short story and novella collections (such as Night Shift and Different Seasons) as well as different versions of the same book (the original The Stand vs the complete and uncut edition). Since a traditional bracket has 64 competitors, there will be a preliminary round aimed at cutting the pool down, featuring The Long Walk vs Rage, Roadwork vs The Running Man, and Holly vs Never Flinch). The tournament is seeded by publication order, split into two main brackets of "early" (1974-1997) vs "late" (1997-present) king with 32 entries each. May the best book win!

Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came [Proxy Commander Deck]

The start of yet another proxy commander deck, this time it will just be a mish-mash of all my favorite things in some incoherent mess. The first two are from my favorite book series, Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

Here, we have the Dark Tower as "Command Tower", pretty obvious choice there.

Secondly we have Blaine the Mono as the "Aradara Express." Crew 4 makes for a good reference to Roland, Susannah, Eddie, and Jake riding Blaine.
