For Whom the Bell Tolls a role-playing, pen pal club created to offer fans of Mercedes Lackey a chance to create personas in the scenario of Valdemar/Velgarth, and to develop them through letters and stories."

The club had a newsletter called The Haven Herald.

A February 1991 note in Queen's Own: "For Whom the Bell Tolls (FWTBT) is a role playing writer's club set in an alternate Valdemar.... Personas must be approved before they can participate. Unapproved personas have a heavy casualty rate. The newsletter, The Haven Herald, lists deaths, births, and other important events of the FWTBT world."

From a June 1991 note in the "Queen's Own": "For Whom the Bell Tolls -- Young Queen's Own, the role playing writer's club set in an alternate Valdemar... Leanne Brownlee says: "To all the people who have inquired about FWTBT--YQO: WOW! I really didn't expect this large a response! The amount of mail I get has almost doubled! I am trying to write back to each of you as quickly as I can. Please be patient. I will write. I hope you all enjoy yourselves! Herald-Queen Anastasia."
