To help writers everywhere prepare for National Novel-Writing Month in November, this all-new Novel Writing Game Tools offer presents roleplaying ebooks and creativity aids that inspire aspiring novelists. Each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a new novel. They enter the month as teachers, mechanics, stay-at-home parents, or gamers; they emerge as novelists. It's a fun, free, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. In 2021 427,000 writers participated. These solo journaling, group story-making, and mapmaking games help writers lay the foundation for their novel by first creating a setting, characters, and timeline. Among the notable designers in this lineup are momatoes, winner of the Diana Jones 2022 Emerging Designer Award, and Nookrium, the popular videogame streamer on Twitch and YouTube. Jack Harrison of Mousehole Press contributed his Kickstarter Zine Quest successes Artefact and Bucket of Bolts. Right now Jack has returned to Kickstarter to fund his latest game, Koriko: A Magical Year.
We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices.
Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to this Novel Writing Game Tools offer's designated charity, NaNoWriMo.org. NaNoWriMo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides tools, structure, community, and encouragement to help people finish 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. (The Bundle of Holding is not affiliated with NaNoWriMo.org. NaNoWriMo has not authorized nor approved this offer.)
The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$92. Customers who pay just US$7.95 get all four complete games in our Starter Collection (retail value $35) as DRM-free ebooks, including Artefact (Mousehole Press), Apothecaria (Blackwell Games), Epitaph (Less Than Three Games), and Mappa Imperium (Nookrium).
Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $22.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with five more games and expansions worth an additional $57, including The Magus (momatoes), Bucket of Bolts (Mousehole Press), Back Again From the Broken Land (Cloven Pine Games), and two Apothecaria supplements: Maker's Market and The Wild Highlands.
This is an interesting idea; quite a few people develop stories as games before adding the details needed for a complete story (Worm comes to mind) and I've written at least one fanfic as a spin-off of an RPG I've run. Whether it produces GOOD fiction may be another matter, but that's really up to the writer more than the tools they use.
