The Nutcracker said it's okay to cut toxic people out of your life, especially the Mouse King and/or fake friends who haven't watched the sitcom you starred in as a child. If you love Saturday morning cartoons & eldritch horrors, have we got a game for you:

The Nutcracker in the Dracula world is somehow NOT a vampire. But that doesn't mean it's not evil <3 Have you tried our Nutcracker plot card yet? Here's the moment where we meet an EVIL, CURSED nutcracker in Dracula, aka NUTCRACKULA.

3...2...1! Happy FINAL DAY of Ficmas (and merry Christmas Eve). Our final trope is the last-minute confession. Declare your love in a story, before your space freighter leaves Europa, or before you leave the Land of Oz, or before Mr. Darcy stalks off across the moors. Or just before midnight!

Ah, a trope as old as time. You BOTH gave up your most prized possessions in order to secure the other's gift! Luckily, the most important gift of all is...love. The second-most important gift is a 42-cc 2-cycle gas chainsaw with automatic chain oiler, but that's harder to work into a story. (1/2)

narrator: oh hey you're back early

your scrooge self-insert character from our A VERY BROOKLYN CHRISTMAS CAROL world: eggnog's haunted

narrator: what?

your scrooge self-insert character: *putting on the proton vacuum from Ghostbusters* eggnog's haunted

Welcome to the TENTH Day of Ficmas! Today’s trope is filled with potential. Picture this: a normal winter day, maybe a little cloudy, a little blustery. Then, poof! A foot (or three) of snow falls overnight. Now, you’re snowed in. (1/2)

It’s the Ninth Day of Ficmas! Today we’re spotlighting one of our favorite storylines and one of our newest plot cards: FAKE. DATING. Are you a celeb, trying to keep the paparazzi out of your private life by entering a “PR relationship?” Or are you a criminal, faking romance to cover your smuggling?

It’s the eighth day of Ficmas, and we’re drawing near the end of Hanukkah. So, we celebrate the festival of lights with a special version of our inspirational card deck!

On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens published a novella titled "A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas." You likely know the shorter version.
We've been working on a new world with holiday spirit...well. THREE holiday spirits. Stay tuned! And happy birthday, Scrooge.

You head back to your hometown for the holidays, only to discover your next door neighbor got…hot? WAY hot. Is true love a good reason to leave your big-city career (news anchor who is also a gourmet chef and accomplished architect), move home & take over the family Christmas tree farm? YOU DECIDE!
December 19, 2025 at 2:45 PM
If you don't find joy in the holiday season, well...You aren't alone. This trope is popular for a reason. Play a story in our Big Fan world, where you distract your crush from the loneliest time of year, or take a spin through Dead Man's Tale and help your alien symbiote navigate the holiday blues.

Going to holiday parties: :) yay :)
Going to holiday parties and realizing A Person You Don’t Wanna See is there: UGHHH :( :( crap dang it :(

Today’s Ficmas trope pays tribute to ♥️ togetherness. ♥️ It’s not the holiday season without an awkward dinner party!

QCon.ai is pretty lit today, y'all. @hmason.bsky.social's keynote definitely lived up to expectations.

Just enough snark mixed with optimism, with some definitely insightful thoughts on how the software engineering profession is evolving.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a sprig of mistletoe positioned in a doorway, must be in want of people SMOOCHING under it. Hence, today’s Ficmas card is the most reliable holiday romance trope of all! (1/2)

On the third day of Ficmas, Hidden Door gave to meeeee…A cutthroat (but festive!) rivalry!
You might have encountered a “RIVALS” plot card in the game already. What if your next story has a holiday twist? (1/2)

Zelda and Mario Kart music are THE greatest Work Faster Than You Ever Have In Your Life soundtracks
Chugging along trying to move fast to wrap some things up on Friday and realized my brain is playing the Zelda minigame music 🙃

If you are looking for indie game reccs the quotes on this post have. Uh. hundreds :)
New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.

hey not to be dramatic but we're working on a HOLIDAY SURPRISE for you and it's super hard to keep secret because we wanna tell you soooo bad. Is this what Santa feels like

A nutcracker? Sweet! This NEW plot card brings a nutcracker—no, THE nutcracker—to life in any of our worlds. Will you find an abandoned nutcracker in the server room on a space freighter? Or do you buy the figurine from a gnarled old witch who comes to your mansion?
