Game of Tomes November 2025


 

Welcome to the Game of Tomes!

The Game of Tomes is a House based writing competition. We provide virtual write-ins with a competitive (but friendly) spirit.
 
The Kitsune-Gumi Wants You
by FoxWriter + Hero Forge
November is when the Game of Tomes Word Wars occur. They begin on the first of the month, and end on the last day of the month, in each participant's time zone. In this Word War, the "living" writers will vie against the Kitsune-gumi leading The Undead Horde.
  At every results stream, the House with the lowest word count is overrun by the Horde. One third of the House's writers will join the undead horde and are determined by the "Wheel of Doom". The wheel randomly selects the writers from a list of the House's participating members. (Writing for either side, living or undead, is fun!)
  During the final results stream, we find out if the living or the undead are victorious. Each possibility has Tomeverse lore consequences!
 
GoT in a Nutshell - WAR.png
Full rules and word counting instructions are posted on the Game of Tomes (GoT) homepage.

  Here you can see the current alliances made by the Minor Houses. (In other words, the smaller Minor Houses team up with a Major House. It's beneficial for both the Minor and Major Houses.)


 
Will the Kitsune-gumi be able to defeat the living?

  They need to in order to open the Tome, so they can save the enslaved yokai Shydeadfox discovered and bring back DeathWriter's destroyed home! If the living win what will happen to the Kitsune-gumi's lofty goals? If the Undead win, will the living exist anymore?
  STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!

    LitMon Ready for Adoption!

    NEW to Game of Tomes! All participating Tome Knights may adopt 2 LitMon, a House LitMon and another LitMon.  

    What LitMon Can I Adopt?

    See this article for the list:
    LitMon Available
    Generic article | Oct 10, 2025

    Ready to bring a special Literomantic creature into your lift? You're in the right place!

    LitMon Adoption Form
    (Please choose carefully, there is no editing on the form and you may only pick once. You'll be emailed a copy of your response. For this adoption form - please don't pick a House LitMon that isn't for YOUR house.) (For the 50K challenge: We'll provide a separate LitMon adoption form after the challenge.)
    After the November event, House Librarians will add the LitMon to your character pages.  

    50K Challenge: LitMon Special!

    Runs Nov 1 (3AM PDT/ 5 AM CDT / 10 AM UTC) through the Nov 6 results stream cutoff (3:59PM PST / 5:59PM CST / 11:59 PM UTC)**!
      The challenge is to write a minimum of 50,000 words in 5 days (plus a little bit)! #5day50K Teams often form to help reach that goal! (Or extended goals!)  
    The Stakes
    For this November only, you'll have a chance to earn a House LitMon from a House different from your own! If your team does not make your team goal, then your names will go on the Wheel of Doom when we draw the names of those that go to the undead. A separate form will be available for this AFTER the 50K challenge.
  • Solo challengers are treated as a team of 1.
  • No immunities this event, because we're focusing on the fun of LitMon!
  •   50K Challenge LitMon Adoption Form(for the teams that made their 50K challenge goals)   (Note from the editor's desk: The living think this will give them a boost in word count over the undead. But it really just means more words for the horde...BAHAHAHAH!   *Clawdia pulls her big paw back and slaps the mystery writer who tried to take over the editing, then chases them from her typewriter...* Please ignore the interruption and carry on.)   **(We chose these times so that everyone starts and ends at the same time, since we're doing the challenge just as we start the GoT Word War.)
