Test Drive - October/November

[d3mods]

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:

FAQ → Rules → Reserves → Taken
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.

Iiiiiii wouldn't say that. I mean... if you pay more we could probably do it, we just give people the tools.

Got it. Arms dealer. Not a lot of people would expect it from a church.

It turns out if you hide behind the cross, you can pretty much go wherever you like, with whatever you like, and no one important questions you.

It's whatever though, keeps me paid.

It's true for a lot of uniforms. Dress like you're supposed to be there, and nobody's gonna question it. The habit, it's more powerful. People don't wanna question religion.

Seems like you can afford a fan if business isn't tanking.

I mean... I don't think we can send products to other worlds... maybe. I'll have to ask certain people about that.

[Listen, Eda is always up for making money. Most of the time she doesn't care how.]

[jadedlynx]

I already have a supplier. He's annoying but his stuff's good.

[ Ash is also from a rough part of town. ]

But it might be useful if I find myself in a place he can't reach me.

[17l]

Well, I'm not the type to break up a good supplier relationship.

[Except when she has to but never mind...]

Damn, now you got me wonderin' if it is possible to send stuff to people on the other side of this device.

[Never turn down a chance for business.]

[jadedlynx]

One way to find out. I'm not in a place somebody can just drop in, but I can be in an hour. You'd probably have to deliver.
