    Dark Tower Doubt



    The Dark Tower has many forms, but we shall only concern ourselves with its Mid-World form. That is, of course, the only world it can truly be accessed from. There, it is a six hundred floor spire made of black stone. There is a single entrance, a ghostwood door with the word “Unfound” written across it. The tower sits in a field of brilliant red roses. But the description is not nearly as important as what the tower stands for. What is the Dark Tower? The Dark Tower is everything. It holds together this world, and the infinite other worlds in existence. Despite the importance of the tower, there are those who want nothing more than to tear it down. They wish to throw the world into chaos, with little thought as to what would happen to them afterward.

    In this story, a handful of Stephen King’s most famous characters band together as a single group, or ka-tet, to reach the tower. Doing so means that they may save it from those who seek to destroy it. They must travel through many worlds, some more familiar than others, in order to reach their goal. It takes four individuals to open the door to the tower, so at the very least, that many must complete the journey for the ka-tet to be successful. Unfortunately, not all members of their ka-tet can be trusted. In fact, someone wants nothing more than to kill everyone before the journey is complete, so that the tower and all the worlds will fall. Those who wish to save the tower must determine who is doing the killing, all the while making sure that they do not get killed themselves. As if the many dangers each world holds for the ka-tet were not enough.

    The journey will not be easy.
    Long days and pleasant nights, travelers.

    • Even those who have been killed may continue to discuss the game in this thread. I urge all players to at the very least read along, regardless of whether or not they are already dead. Spoiler alert: There will be opportunities for those who have been killed to contribute to the game later on.
    • There are two phases of play in this game, with roles attached to each. The night phases involves the murder(s), the day phase involves the lynch votes. Special roles may disrupt this process.
    • One player will take on the role of the Crimson King. He may kill every night phase. The Crimson King is the main killer.
    • One player is playing the role of Mort Rainey. He may kill three players, regardless of phase. Mort is the secondary killer.
    • Each day phase, the survivors cast a lynch vote. The player who receives the most votes will be lynched.
    • The killers win if there are fewer than four members, including themselves, as the tower is no longer accessible.
    • The ka-tet wins if all killers are caught before the numbers dwindle to less than four.



    • Natsumehack will be helping me run this game. All lynch votes and special role actions will be PMed to him. I will be watching over the topic discussion and writing the story posts. All questions regarding the game should also be directed to my inbox.
    • Roles will be handed out using a random number generator. Do not request a role.
    • There are no injuries in this game - only deaths.
    • Anyone who has been inactive for an extended period of time will be modkilled. And remember, inactivity is suspicious. If you don't speak all game, most might suspect that you have something to hide.
    • Those who are not playing the game may not post in this topic. I will report those who clutter up my game.
    • All votes must be made via PM. Any "votes" posted in this topic will not count for anything.
    • You may discuss the game via PM, but I would really prefer it if you kept most of the discussions to the topic. It makes for a more exciting game, and if everyone takes a part in dissecting the story posts, there is a better chance the roles will be guessed correctly. However, there are no screenshots allowed. Copy/pasting and forwarding is free game, as they can be easily edited.
    • Do not take anything in this game personally. If your best friend votes to kill you, that does not mean that they are no longer your best friend. It is all a game. Also, please respect your GMs and your fellow players. It makes for a more enjoyable game all around.
    • There is a 24 hour time limit on this game. Players will have 24 hours after each storypost is posted to submit their votes unless otherwise stated. I will make exceptions to this rule if you PM me and let me know what's up. I want this game to be enjoyable for everyone, but we also cannot let it get bogged down. Taking too long will make people lose interest.
    • Finally, these rules are subject to change. I will alert you of any alterations that I make.



    Dinh - The dinh is the leader of the ka-tet. He or she will have the ability to cast a vote that carries twice as much weight (counts as two votes). The dinh is selected by the players via PM. In the event the dinh is killed early on, a second dinh will be selected.

    The Crimson King (Dark Tower) - The Crimson King longs to destroy the tower, create chaos, and then rebuild the entire world to fit his vision. He will kill anyone who stands in his way, if not only to see how the ka-tet responds. He does love creating unnecessary drama, and he does so by killing a player every night phase.The Crimson King is the primary killer.

    Mort Rainey (Secret Window, Secret Garden) - Mort is a man who truly wants what is best for his ka-tet. When things begin happening to his companions, he genuinely does want to help them in any way that he can. What he does not know is that he actually plays a part in the killings. At least, his other persona does. Mort’s split personality causes him to kill without realizing what he is doing. Mort may kill a maximum of three people, one each phase, either during the day phase or night phase. Mort is the secondary killer.

    Mike Enslin (1408) - As a famous author, Mike knows all about how important careful research is. He dedicated hours to investigating and documenting the paranormal. No fact went unchecked, no rumor went unexamined. If Mike has a hunch about who the killer might be, he most certainly will do some sleuthing. Each night, he will investigate the role of one member of the ka-tet. Mike is the detective role.

    Bev Marsh (IT) - Bev is a hell of a shot, so it is no surprise that she would become one of the ka-tet’s most important protectors. However, she often lets her emotions cloud her judgement. She may even make the rash decision of protecting someone after the ka-tet has voted to kill them. Unfortunately, if Bev attempts to protect a killer, she will be killed instead. Bev is the day protector.

    Eddie Dean (Dark Tower) - It took a terrorizing shootout to help him realize his true potential, but Eddie is now a bonafide Gunslinger. He has dedicated his entire life to protecting his ka-tet, and he will do whatever it takes to make sure no harm comes to them. Even if that means staying up all night to watch over them. Unfortunately, if Eddie tries to protect a killer, he will die instead. Eddie is the night protector.

    Susan Delgado (Dark Tower) - As she was Roland’s first and only true love, Susan knows a bit about relationships. At the beginning of the game, Susan may select two players to become lovers. If one player is killed, the other will then commit suicide. Susan is the matchmaker role.

    Oy (Dark Tower) - Oy is a loyal, loving billy-bumbler. In the event he is attacked by the killer, he will do his best to fight the player off in an attempt to protect the rest of his ka-tet. If the killer tries to kill Oy, Oy will ultimately kill him. Unfortunately, Oy will also die in the process. Oy is the self-sacrificial role.

    Secret Roles - There are a number of secret roles. These roles have special abilities which will alter gameplay. If you know anything about my preferences when it comes to Stephen King, you may be able to name some of them.

    2. Herzinth
    3. Grey
