Test Drive - October/November

[d3mods]

You wake up... in your bed or wherever you went to sleep because your character is exactly where you left them. A revival of the classic LJ/DW game DramaDramaDuck (DDD), D3 is an attempt to capture the spirit of the classic with some adjustments. The name, and the names of many parts of the game, pays homage to the original while allowing it to be something different as I'm not a founder of the original. I just had fun there and thought it sounded fun now.

An Open Lid game, as opposed to a JamJar; your characters remain in their canon worlds and timelines but can access a magical network to connect to other canon's universes. You, with the help of your castmates should you have them, decide how they experience shape your remaining canon, even if it means nothing changes at all.

Welcome to the D3 test drive. Prompts are sparse because this is the game where you make the story. Some optional suggestions are:

A. Hit by an infection

Like it says on the label. Your character has been hit by one of the monthly infections that take place on the network. This particular infection shouldn't alter the personality too much if you're planning to use it as a sample. For more information on infections, read the faq found here.

B. Canon update

Something happen at home you want to share? Or don't want to share, but the network is showing anyway?

C. A call to arms

Trouble is brewing, and you need help? You have worlds full of superheroes to ask for help. That doesn't always mean they can reach you...


That's the down and dirty. Not quite as fancy as you're used to seeing, huh? D3 is a simple game. Or it's not. It's up to you, the player, to make your experience. There will also be a log community so you can do face-to-face meet ups, and anyone can go off-world this time.

To perhaps capture the group game feeling that differentiates D3 from memes, consider noting whether you're open to threadjacks with a subject line like so:

Character | Canon | Open/Not Open to threadjack

We recommend you read the following to help you along:

FAQ → Rules → Reserves → Taken
Reserves will open for the first time on October 1st and apps will follow October 7th. After they open, they'll remain open instead of having cycles.

Online friends might be a good idea. I don't have all that many in-person friends myself, and I'm not sure if he likes the ones I have...

[zenryokubatankyu]

hey, it's a start, and it avoids the pressure of someone being up in his face!

...though, y'know, don't discount things changing there, if there's ever an opportunity to make in-person connections

i dont really have many in person friends either but i have 5 brothers so that's kinda like, immediate companionship anyway
so i could use more friends too probably.

That must be difficult sometimes. I know some people with big families, but I can't imagine what it must be like to be surrounded by so many people all the time...

[zenryokubatankyu]

i guess it might be difficult sometimes, yeah
but i don't know what life would be like without them.
i mean, we're brothers, we fight, we don't always exactly see eye to eye but
i've grown up with them my entire life so it feels more unnatural not to be. if you're used to something, it becomes normal, y'know?
at least for me it does.
it's comforting. because it's always the same.

[tigerpoet]

That makes sense. And I'm glad you have them to rely on.

(That said, your poor parents. I could barely handle two sons.)

[zenryokubatankyu]

mhm. me too.

lololol yeah they uh, they weren't prepared for this ever but they made the best of things
still are making the best of things
