Literomantic Games April 2026
The Literomantic Games are an international competition of Literomancy sponsored by the Great Houses for the Tourney of Tales!
The Games are divided into ten equally-weighted events. The House with the most points relative to their population at the end of the Games wins the Literomantic Cup*.
Entrants are encouraged to participate in any/all events that interest them. There will be a maximum of 30 points for each event per participant. For the Filk event, entrants will only be allowed 1 entry that counts the 30 points for the entry.
Points are automatically calculated.
Auto Calcuation Notes
Each House enters their work in the same spreadsheet. No more having to hunt down the form.
Each tab in the spreadsheet represents one of the events in LitGames. An example of how to enter your information is in each tab.
Each filk entered will gain your team 30 points. You entered = you get the points when you enter the filk. At the end of the LitGames we’ll announce the judging of the filks, but they won’t be point-based.
Post in #literomantic-games in the GoT Discord if you have questions or just want to share something.
Can I enter a thing in more than one category?
Yes, if it fits in more than one category, go for it! For example, if you did an article and it had a Word of the Day or Short Prompt. Cool! Mark it for both!
Can I use a transcribed article? (For example: creating an article for an already written filk or adding to an established universe wiki with already created material)
Yes. (Shy: I'd originally said no. But Sable and I had to chat about it. I don't want to penalize people for doing a public service. So I'm reversing my ruling to allow it.)
Can I put a number in the cell to count more than one thing (like 3 RP sessions)?
Nope. Each spreadsheet cell counts as 1 point (with the exception of the Filking event). So you'd use 3 cells to count those roleplay sessions. Participants may earn up to 30 or 31 points (equal to the number of days in the event month) for each event for their House.
For the group writing, does the other person or people have to be people from Game of Tomes?
Nope! Enjoy your collaborations outside of GoT too!
Do the entries have to be entered on specific days corresponding to the date on the spreadsheet?
Nope. The only thing that needs to be counted daily is the word count. You can mark off days or just count up the days. Everything else can be done at any point in the Tourney.

Auto Calculations Updated in November 2025
Shy updated the calculations to do the average per event per house then those averages are totaled. This way no one is penalized for just doing one (or a few) event(s). Just like last July...Sharing Your Work / Have Questions?
