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.

Nice to meet you, Jesse. I'm Elim.

[ She smiles a bit. Always good to put a name to a face. ]
Well, even if we don't know what's going on right now, the place I'm from and the people behind me will do their best to figure it out. If we discover anything, we'll let you know.
I'm just hoping your interference isn't due to this network thing. Your comms sound pretty important.
no subject
Er, if you don't mind telling me, why are you on lockdown?
no subject
Ah. We had an attack from an outside dimension. It's complicated, but there was a sort of resonance that would invade people's minds here. We locked down the building to keep it from spreading to our wider world.
[ A couple of the workers behind Jesse practically freeze in place, looking rather horrified. But no one speaks up to complain. ]
The source of the attack is shut down now, but we still have to root out the remaining affected people. That's why I'd really like a way to shut off this feed. I don't want it getting out.
no subject
[He sits up and grabs a piece of paper and a pen.]
Is it... hellish? Weird? Chaotic? Because if it is... maybe I could help?
[Or try to find someone who could. It sounds kind of like the Warp.]
no subject
So that's something you're familiar with? Wow, yeah. If you think you could help, we'd appreciate it. Because that was a pretty accurate description of the Hiss. I'm guessing this is the sort of thing you've seen before?

Well, sorry you've got experience, but- yeah, we might be able to use the help. We encountered another entity- a counter-resonance, if you will. And that's been about our only tool in this fight so far. That and- well, taking out our former coworkers. It's not exactly an ideal situation.
