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.

[This is far more than he's talked in—quite a while, actually. But he can't resist.]
Then figure out who's dead and who's not. Ideally you want your medic alive, but in case they're not, whoever's got the steadiest hands and the most medical knowledge is the new medic. Put the most able-bodied men on watch shifts, in case something happens, and if anyone's not too seriously injured, put them to work too—cooking, cleaning, inventory, whatever. [Another pause.] If you've got people who're too seriously injured, people who might not make it...just ease what you can for them. They deserve that.
And, yeah, I'll second the off-world idea too, if time'll just freeze in your world anyway. Get some distance to get a hold of yourself and figure out your plan, then come back.
Re: voice
Casualties aren't that bad, for now. We've got two medics and orderlies, still. I'm gonna go offworld, too. If it freezes things, that'll help.

[A nod, then he stops, remembering. Right, this is voice.]
If you can pretend that you just scrounged them up somehow, you ought to start getting things from offworld as well. Most people here are willing to help. [Someone opened her home to him when he asked on the network, that’s how willing to help.]
