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.
Tita Nium | Otomedius | open
Hiiiiiii.
Tita fought a pirate today. Arr. But the pirate was also a cat. Thought people in pirate days didn't want cats on ships. Or is that girls? Or girl cats? Catgirls.
Are catgirls bad luck? Don't think so. Maybe. Serious poll.

[Tita has set up her phone to record, so you get a very nice view of... a high school science lab, where she bends over to look intently at some manner of lizard that's staring blankly at her.]
Staring contest. Judge.
[OOC note: Tita doesn't exactly fourth-wall people, but will make meta references that she probably doesn't understand. For example, she wouldn't say "you're X from Canon Y," but might refer to something famous about the canon and relate it to the character with no explanation. In-universe it's treated like "oh that wacky alien girl speaking nonsense." Since this is a DDD revival and that game was rife with fourth-walling to the point of it being a default practice, I'm not foreseeing many problems, but I know the climate in DWRP has changed to be much less fourth-wall-friendly than it used to be; if this bothers you, let me know and I'll just avoid it.]

I can't imagine they've resulted in, well, good luck(?)
