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.

you can watch his six best when you’re right behind him
no subject
[He thinks he gets the general idea, though, and that's a fair point.]
no subject
meant his back
but yeah if he’s gonna straight up walk into the pack of wolves like he thinks he can punch his way clear then it’s best to be right behind him so you can haul him out fast
no subject
That's a good point. I just... don't wanna do more harm than good, I guess.
no subject
you'll do a lot of good pulling your friend out of trouble when he needs you
you'll probably do some harm too but you have to make your peace with that sooner or later and try your best to direct it towards the ones that need a little harming
or a lot of it
no subject
And there's plenty of monsters to beat the shit out of, from the sound of things. Aki sure as hell can't handle it on his own, no matter what he thinks.
no subject
[cough, Steve Rogers, cough]
yeah, see?
let him fight the wolves if he's so hell-bent on it, god knows my friend would never even think of doing anything else, but watch his back so none of them get in a cheap shot at it
what kind of monsters are these, anyway?
no subject
no subject
the shit this journal has thrown at me, I wouldn't have been surprised.
just be careful, okay
you and your friend.
no subject
no subject
definitely new.
how would you even fight those?
no subject
I want a word with whichever sick fuck looked at the possible designs and picked the gun.
no subject
yeah that's some sick shit.
are these fake guns obviously fake or do they look almost exactly like real ones because I might join you in having that word with them
no subject
