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.

Well. If you've got a big achievement, even if she says 'wait a bit', that's still like 'proof of concept', right? It can't be a bad thing ever to do something good. You've just gotta know that it'll either pay off immediately or it'll pay off in the future, and don't do anything that she wouldn't want you to do.
Being a guard is super dangerous, I think, so be real careful no matter what. But it's super cool you're goin' for it.
no subject
But not doing anything she wouldn't want me doing... Hmmmm.
I'm sure she wouldn't want me to set puzzles and traps. She's not much of a traditionalist... But she won't complain about it or anything. Not unless it keeps me from facing down my foes!! She'd definitely give me the boot if I ran from a fight.
no subject
Right on! That's the spirit.
And nah. Besides! Those are useful, right? And neat. Because you gotta be a genius and strong to work your way outta traps and puzzles! Those'll pay off, so don't stop those. Plus, wards off foes. Even that might lead to a moment where she'd recognize 'hey, these are super useful, and you did something amazing with 'em, too!' Then she'd finally get it!
So don't let it stop you from fightin' foes that get past...but if your specialty is traps and puzzles, you prove how awesome they are by tricking someone strong into 'em, you'll get noticed for sure for sure. You just gotta make a super great one.
no subject
Tricking someone strong into them...?
Nyeh heh heh!! That's a thought! I could make a trap so devious, so effective... Even Undyne's defeated by it!
If it could trap her, it could surely catch a human too.
