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.

[ The mouth on this prosector. ]

It's early November 2003 for me.

[ It's a lie, but Light knows late November is when he begins his mission. If questioned, time is odd enough to jump forward quickly. ]

Should his actions have happened already? It's possible that even if we're both from Japan, we're not from the same world.

We must not be. It isn't surprising; multiple users of the nexus from the same node are the exception rather than the norm. It resists being exposed to anyone who isn't chosen.

Do you hope for God to manifest in your world?

Then, he should have made a move by now?

[ Kira is definitely a shared component. He hasn't made a move by early November in his world. Is there some form of divergence? ]

You're still asking me to side with someone I don't know. I can't wish for or condemn him based on the knowledge I have.

No. But time is linear. If we are from the same world, we cannot communicate across time. The "you" who would be in my world would have knowledge of talking to me in November of 2003, when I in December of 2003 am certain I am talking to you for the first time. Events may overlap, but we must be separate. If we were to both go to our respective Tokyo Skytrees, we wouldn't meet.

If God deigns to manifest in your world, you will have to decide as a future officer whether you side with justice or whether you side with the law. Prepare yourself.

While I do agree to most of those points, there's still the possibility that things that have happened in your world will happen in mine. I know that doesn't benefit the people in your world, but if you're willing to help, it can benefit the people of mine.

If he does, I'll make the decision. You're drawing a line, though. Justice or the law?

Evil is not less evil because it wears a police uniform or a judge's robe.

Then, those are the options: Against him or evil?

With him, or evil.
