Centered are two sigils: on the left, the purple Mollusca crest with an octopus and the motto “What is Fish Shall Never Fry,” and on the right, the red-and-white Kitsune-Gumi fox crest with stylized tails.
Yellow question-mark graphics decorate the left and right sides.
Large white text in the middle asks:
“Will the living or the undead win the Iron Tome?”
At the bottom, white text invites viewers to tune in on Twitch at “twitch.tv/game_of_tomes at 1:30 PM PST / 3:30 PM CST / 9:30 PM UTC to find out!”

Last week, house Lapin fell with around 1,25 milion words. Now the living assemble behind the banner of mollusca for the last stand. Most timezones are already OUT OF TIME since November is over. Will the living prevail? Or will the Kitsune Gumi bei the first undead to win this game?
A dramatic announcement graphic on a parchment background with black brush-stroke texture. At the top, text reads “Nov 2025 Week 4.” Centered is the sigil of House Lapin: a white rabbit head on a red shield, partially showing the motto “Ideas Are Coming.” To the lower left is the red panda crest of House Ailurus with the motto “Open Hearts & Pens,” and to the lower right is the badger crest of House Meles with the motto “Words By Claw Or Paw.” Beneath the sigils, large white text states: “House Lapin Has Fallen.” At the bottom, the total word count is displayed as “1,251,595 Total Words.”

It’s result stream o clock soon again? Who knew that writing and the rest of Nanowrimo could turn into a crazy wild rpg with almost a hundred players, over a million words in the world on @worldanvil.com, people all around the globe playing (curse you, timezones!!!) and zombiesvsbunniesvskraken?
A promotional graphic for “GoT – Nov 2025 Week 4” with a parchment background and black ink-like brush strokes. At the top left is a rainbow-gradient circular logo with an open book labeled “GoT.” At the top right is the Kitsune-Gumi red-and-white fox sigil. Large white text asks three questions: “Which House will fall, Lapin or Mollusca?” (with the Lapin rabbit sigil on the left and the purple Mollusca sigil on the right), “How many Tome Knights will turn undead?”, and “How many words will the Horde gain?” Green question-mark graphics appear on both sides. The bottom text invites viewers to tune in to a Twitch stream at “twitch.tv/game_of_tomes at 1:30 PM PST / 3:30 PM CST / 9:30 PM UTC to find out!”

In a heartbreaking turn of events, House Ailurus has fallen, even though Meles did everything they could to protect them! Who will fall this week? 👀 #writers #writerscommunity
A stylized announcement graphic on a parchment-and-ink background. At the top it reads “Nov 2025 Week 3.” The main image is the sigil of House Ailurus: a red panda face on a red and orange shield with the motto “Open Hearts & Pens.” Partially overlapping it on the right is the minor house Meles sigil: a badger face on a green shield with a ribbon that says “Words By Claw Or Paw.” Below, bold text states: “House Ailurus Has Fallen.” At the bottom, the total word count is displayed as “903,416 Total Words.”

Last night was crazy. Nobody expected the bats to fall this soon! And they are in third place?! Living, you better get writing! #NovNov #Got
A chart titled “Game of Tomes – Nov 2025 Week 1.” It shows major houses in a writing event along with their word counts. The houses listed are Lapin, Ailurus, Mollusca, Undead Horde, Sauropoda, and Chiroptera. Chiroptera has 89,888 words, and that number also appears in the “Total Words” column. A total event word count of 1,476,103 is shown at the bottom. Minor houses Avis and Meles are listed next to Lapin and Ailurus. The other house numbers are still blacked out since they didn’t fall yet.A black and parchment-textured graphic showing two sigils side by side. On the left is a green–yellow shield with a zombie hand rising from dirt and a ribbon reading “Amass the Horde.” On the right is a stylized white and red nine-tailed fox mask logo labeled “Kitsune-Gumi.” Beneath them it says “29,962 Words Fall to the Horde“.

What’s #NovNov when you’re not running from undead zombies? # RESULTS STREAM #1 Who fell? How far is the Undead behind the other houses? Well... Here you go! The fight was fierce! But in the End - House Chiroptera fell to the Kitsune-gumi's wily plans!
A dark graphic with a red and black bat sigil in a heraldic shield above a banner reading “Type by Night.” Text below announces: “House Chiroptera Has Fallen” and “89,888 Total Words.” The background resembles torn parchment with splashes of black ink.

Challenge week is over! Thank god we didn’t ignore anything else during that time, right? Right? The self care mafia is here to help and to remind you that it’s alright to take breaks, but is also alright to get your life together. We even have a bingo 😊
A motivational poster titled “The Self Care Mafia” at the top, with “GameOfTomes.org” written beneath. The background shows a stylized cityscape at sunset with streetlights glowing. To the lower right stands a cute orange cartoon fox wearing a gray fedora hat. The text in the middle is: “During challenge week, a lot of things got put on hold. That’s fine, really, don’t you worry! I’m just saying that if you want to try to create new litmon, the thing in your mug from three days ago doesn’t quite count. Let’s try to clean up a bit. The faster you’re done, the faster you’re back at writing :3” from Bard

You’ve done some words. You may have hit your goal for the challenge week (and if you did, you get more cheers from all of us). Or you might have not, but you still deserve the cheers for trying! If you’re still going, then keep at it! Just don’t forget to take a break, stretch it out, hydrate, hug the loved ones, eat, and pet the pets. We’re so proud of you!” from Sunny

Ohhh things are getting heated 👀 @sablearadia.bsky.social you aren’t messing around, are you? How are the other houses handling the situation?

We are deep in our Challenge week. It’s Nanowrimo time, y’all, (not the organization) and the houses are already looking for the Nite Monarq… but where are they? @amywintersvoss.com @foxwriter.bsky.social where are you? @bardwithmanynames.bsky.social why the sudden tour? @attorraru.bsky.social ?
A fictional news article speculating who the nee Nite Monarq could be. Bard with many names aka the nite Monarq from last year acts suspiciously by going on a tour wearing a mask, but shyredfox and FoxWriter have gone missing… though Attorraru vouches for them? What is happening?

The last candidate running for Nite Monarq this season: Lady Wynterworn, the mourning star, bringer of light. Will she be able to lead the undead to a new beginning, or will the end claim what it’s due no matter what?

On a black Background, a ring of fire flares up. In the middle of stands a hero forge figure of Misty as nite monarq: a humanoid with fluffy ears, kitsune tails and a while half mask. They are wearing a wild red and black suit and carry a fireball in their hand. 
Across in wild font: “let it burn, let it burn, Misty won’t hold it back anymore”

Week 2! Mollusca is in the lead, with the Bunnies on their tail. Ailurus is falling a bit back and can only hold thanks to their Meles allies, and Sauropoda and the Birds are following them with only one tome between them. The bats are last, but they are still flying! What will happen next week?

As you might now, every November, we are looking for a bad guy* to keep us on our toes and at our keyboards. One of the teams for this year is ready to say hi! Will they be able to free the yokai with all the literomancy in the world? Or will their plans end in a foxhunt?
A background radiant from pink to a soft blue with lots of flecs of glitter. Upper half: a big black splotch of paint, in front of it the hero forge avatars of Shyredfox and foxwriter: two kitsune, one red, one white, both clothes in green wearing fedoras.

Lower half: for chaos! For glitter! Vote Shyredfox and Foxwriter for night monarch “to free the lost”

Every event, we challenge our writers to take one week and go WILD. 50 k in one month is doable, but 50 k in a week? No worries, you are allowed to form teams ❤️ So if you wanna see what you can do, join the ToT Challenge July 19-26! Every word counts ✨
In a bolt font, it’s says „tourney of Tales, July 19-25 2025, Challenge, Raise the eastern seaboard“
