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.

[ So... About that chaos gremlin thing?
The person teleporting into your living room looks like a young teenager wearing a weird homemade suit and a checkered scarf. He's currently checking out the place. ]
Hm... You weren't kidding about sleeping on the couch...
no subject
[It does surprise him when Kokichi teleports into the living room. But he puts his phone away. The guy you've been talking to is a young adult, about 24 years of age, with a brown bowl cut, a red hoodie with a green 'pine' design on it, and a half-smile on his face.]
Yeah, nah. I'm usually honest about these kinda things. Couch is super comfy, though. But we don't have much else. The futon's already being shared by my brothers and I. So that's how it be. You're a lot younger than I expected, but hey. Props to you for accomplishing so much in...high school? I was never that accomplished.
Still. Free snacks. You're probably not old enough to drink so the alcohol means nothing to you but it means a lot to me.
[No one will notice that the gremlin order has expanded to 7.]
Oh. I'm Osomatsu, by the way. Matsuno Osomatsu. And you?
no subject
Yep, high school. [ He says with a grin like he's not slightly disappointed by everything. ] They had this Ultimate Initiative back home that rewards talented kids like me, and I'm the Ultimate Supreme Leader, Kokichi Oma!
[ He does present himself like one, for someone who's a little over five feet tall. ]
So, you said your brothers also live here?
no subject
Man...I just went to a normal school as a kid. You've definitely got the edge. Nice to meet'cha, though! ...Sorry it's not more lavish, we're middle-class but hey. You're on the lam, so. We'll work our way up!
And yep. They do. We're identical sextuplets. Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu. I'm the oldest! Which makes me the best! They're all pretty alright, though. They're the lackey sort, y'know? My underlings.
