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.

a spider in dreams means manipulation apparently
and babies represent innocence and warmth
are you being like, bossed around by a child
a boss baby
smth
no subject
dude look, it's a dream and i'm pretty sure there's not really a root in reality
besides babies can't be bosses either since...they talk about as much as spiders do
well, i guess they scream more
but the point is that my answer is no
no subject
and babies can absolutely be bosses. being bosses is like, all babies do. if a baby wants something you do it. they are the biggest bosses.
hmmmmmmm
like, it's either a deep trip into your soul or you ate some weird shit and you tripped out. either or is likely maybe
no subject
because someone has to change the diapers and feed them right?
they're probably just as bossy as cats or something
but even they can tell you stuff better than a spider baby
wait are you trying to tell me there's something wrong with my soul?
no subject
and my little brother keeps like, 20 alley cats so i'd know by extension
one time i met a cat that literally could tell you stuff but he just spilled all your bullshit secrets so there's my perspective on that
i dunno my man there might be
you checked your chi being in all line lately???
i'm not an expert but i am tossing out guesses
no subject
but hold on let me back up here a second
a talking cat?!
and who the hell keeps like 20 cats?
is your brother okay?
no subject
mhm!
and uh
no.
no he is probably not.
not by a long shot.
the talking cat is a long story but to abridge it he wanted to talk to cats in cat language, but the shot hit the cat instead. so the cat got ESP. it was kinda funny but ichi got super sensitive about it at one point...he's troubled and lonely.
as his big bro i'm concerned but he's not gonna change
no subject
somehow i'm a hell of a lot more worried about all of that than i am about the spider baby dream
what the shit
no subject
you'd probably be concerned over everyone in my family if i just up and explained who they are
probably even me
it's just that way
life is just be that way so i take it as it is, seems to be that way for a lotta people
no subject
a cat with esp is definitely not...
or i guess shooting a cat and giving it esp isn't
you shoot a cat and that's it
game over
no subject
with a doctor shot, y'know, with a needle?
it hit it in the butt.
injected it with power.
i dunno what it woulda really done if ichi'd gotten it, though...
[He's kinda curious.
But at the same time.
Ass shots. Owwie.]
no subject
please tell me you're shitting me right now
