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

We recommend you read the following to help you along:

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.

wow okay rude and patronizing

we have nonbinary people too you know. they mostly use they/them or xe/xer or whatever. and it's kind of a big deal to use those pronouns?? like great if you really don't care but don't not care cause you don't think i'm capable. just cause i'm not used to it doesn't mean i can't LEARN

Can you learn to speak Radchaai?

Really, now, it's not meant to be rude it's just the fact of the matter that if you're not a citizen, you're not Radchaai. If you're not Radchaai, you're not civilized. It's not that hard a concept.

We give them the privilege and protection of being Radchaai. Once they're finished being annexed and integrated into the Radch, they have all the rights and privileges of any other citizen. It's for their own benefit.

Well, I don't expect someone uncivilized to grasp what it means to be Radchaai and the benefit that comes with it. A shame, really.

Is this some local group or custom? What is 'updog?'
