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

Somehow I harbor doubts the traditional methods would work in this case.

Hypothetically.

hypothetically.

okay. whatever firepower you got, even if he's a super strong vampire with followers, he can't be completely invincible...
you'll have to take out the followers first anyway. so focus on them first but don't go about it slowly obvs
they're probably all quirky too knowing vampire overlords so be prepared for variety fights.

That much hasn't been a problem.

Wouldn't be a problem. If this were a real situation.

okay. so as long as the underlings aren't a problem and you just gotta focus on the big guy...

then you might wanna try all the firepower you got if traditional vampire stuff doesn't work...crosses, garlic, the light of day for some reason because Vampires Just Be That Edgy...

if you got any secret weapons that'd help too. try to surprise him.

hypothetically.
