TL;DR - The cap on my pen was so loose that the pen fell while I was walking and broke.

Even though I'm logged in, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to edit my previous review. So, I'm adding this one as an amendment to my first. While the pen writes (wrote, you'll see...) well, the cap comes off a little too easy and the section becomes slightly unscrewed from the barrel on its own. I didn't find this to be a real problem until just a few minutes ago when I was walking while holding the pen by the cap and the cap came off. The pen fell a few feet and landed nib down on my kitchen floor. You guessed it, the nib broke. Dropping my rating to three stars because the cap's looseness led to it breaking after having it for barely a day.

I just recently decided I wanted to try my hand at fountain pens but only had a cheap Manuscript pen I'd purchased for my wife (she never used it). I'd been playing around with that pen for a while but not really enjoying it. I then stumbled across this Miskatonic University Fountain Pen while I was looking for props for the Call of Cthulhu RPG I'll be running soon. As this is only my second fountain pen, I only have my cheap first one to compare it to. That being said, it writes way smoother than my cheap one and looks a lot nicer too. I've been looking at a lot of pens online and I get the impression that for the same price as this one there are tons and tons of options. Someone with more experience might find issues, but so far my only complaint is that there aren't more design options to choose from for this pen.

This pen with the included black ink cartridge writes smoothly on everyday office paper and index cards for everyday writing, so it will surely be fine on better paper. I have not yet tried it with bottled ink, but I have ordered some so an update may be imminent.
It's useful to remember that a fountain pen works best when y're writing in cursive, letting the pen glide along the paper. If you're left-handed, look for a fast-drying ink so you don't color the outside edge of your left hand with fresh ink and smudge what you just wrote!

I'm a collector of fountain pens, everything from Montblanc to Narwhal. Name isn't as important to me as quality and writing experience, as I've had 50$ pens write better than my 1200$ Montblanc Meisterstuck. However, I've noticed that the Miskatonic University Armitage Edition fountain pen to be a bit lacking in the QC department.

Upon opening I noticed that the barrel had several scuffs and rough patches, which was disappointing, but not heartbreaking. Then when inking up, I noticed the feed on the nib was glued on slightly crooked. This hasn't affected its writing abilities, as it's been a good writer.

Overall I'm happy with my pen, I just wish it had better quality control in the finishing department.

A decent pen that I'm using fairly consistently for work. The action is smooth and I've not had any problems with skipping or clogging. I do find it's a bit thirstier than pens like my Lamy. In about two days of use roughly a third of the converter is emptied. Still, it's fun to write with.
I'm currently using Herbin 350 series Vert Atlantide ink (it's a deep green with silver and gold particles to give an almost patina look.) Noting this because the shimmer ink has not clogged the nib should anyone be worried.
If I was looking to improve on concept, I'd go for a slightly fatter, weightier pen. My personal preference would be for a twist converter as I feel it offers more control during filling.
All that said, it looks good, writes well, and is extremely affordable. If you're getting into fountain pens or a Miskatonic fan, pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
