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.

[ probably. akira's never actually bought them for a dog before, but if they exist for cats, surely they do for other animals as well. ]

Sure, but it's pricey.

Or give them something to chew, like a rawhide, or a toy.

[ dogs sure seem like a lot of work... ]

[There's a huge chance that the steak is bigger than the puppy!]

A chewing toy... he does like to tear through Mafuyu's tissues and napkins. So that's not a bad idea

[Uenoyama doesn't know, he doesn't own a dog. But he likes hanging out with Kedama.]

[jokingoff]

There you go. Make them happy with a two-for-one deal.

What's the occasion?

[uenosama]

Well better a chewing toy than box of tissues. That makes a lot of mess.

No
special occassion

[...the puppy belongs to his boyfriend and he wants to buy something for it. It's a cute dog! Don't blame him!]

[jokingoff]

Maybe one shaped like a tissue box...

[ whoops, he sent that one without thinking about it. no harm, no foul.

just what sort of four-legged fiend are they planning to shop for, anyway? ]

Sounds like they'll love it either way.
Why not get in touch with the owner?

[ unless it's...their dog...akira can't tell. ]
