Test Drive - October/November


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

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.

That would only be true if there were interdimensional basketball games. Our world has never been asked to play so I would assume there aren't.

I would also like to watch and play with them.
blue_ace: (Seriously)

Guess I figured there would be. Like Space Jam.

Wanna see if the burgers 'n shakes are any better out here?
phantom6th: (hand on chin; thinking)

Yes. Do you think they will have vanilla?

[ It's a very important question. ]

They might have flavors we're not familiar with, but I have to be cautious when choosing flavors.

[ You have a bad boy here. ]
blue_ace: (I'm embarrassed for you.)

[personal profile] blue_ace 2020-09-29 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the only flavor they got.
phantom6th: (emotionless)

[personal profile] phantom6th 2020-09-29 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
It would be strange if they only had vanilla. I'm sure they'll serve other flavors as well. They'll likely have at least chocolate and strawberry, too.
blue_ace: (You're dumb)

You didn't see the magazine rack. I didn't figure even interdimensional models'd top Mai-chan, but I didn't think it'd be that slim picking. This place's so plain, you stand out in it.
phantom6th: (big eyes; looking up)

Thank you, Aomine-kun.

[ Kuroko fully realizes it wasn't really a compliment. ]

But it may also be this shop. There are many shops around here. The magazines are likely different in other stores.
blue_ace: (You're dumb)

[personal profile] blue_ace 2020-09-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It wasn't really an insult, either.]

You come here looking for something?

I was also curious about basketball. If we can find a sports center, we may find out about other teams.

Aomine-kun, some worlds won't have basketball.
blue_ace: (Here's lookin' at you kid)

[personal profile] blue_ace 2020-09-30 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh...

[Despite being Aomine, it's hard not to smile, at least faintly.]

We really do think alike in basketball.

[They both came here for basketball. And now, failing to find anything remarkable, Tetsu is still thinking about how to find more basketball.

If anyone else suggested it, he'd think it would be a pain in the ass to have to have everything revolve around basketball. But he came here to see out of this world basketball. It feels like a waste to just completely come up dry.]

[ Kuroko nods as if saying of course they do. Once, they were very much in sync. He doesn't think that would leave so easily. ]

If there isn't, we can ask for others who play. With so many different places, there will be some very strong players.

[ If America has strong players, other worlds would, too.

For now, he leads them from the shop. Getting an idea, he stops suddenly ]


Aomine-kun, have you noticed that there are different sections in the town?
