Tourney of Tales April 2025

Welcome to the Tourney of Tales!

The Tourney of Tales is a house based writing competition. We provide virtual write-ins with a competitive (but friendly!) spirit. Tourneys happen in April and July. They begin on the first of the month, and end on the last day of the month, in each participant's time zone.

Full rules and word counting instructions are posted on the Game of Tomes (GoT) homepage.

Check out the list of The Current Houses.

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