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.

Anyway, just pick the dumbest one. It'll be easiest to pull this off that way.
no subject
jyushi...yeah, that'd work. i could just say he tried to use it as a baseball bat. kara would never get mad at jyushi...
it's so easy when you think about it like that. jeez. you're a pro, my man.
no subject
You're the oldest of six, though? That's wild. My oldest brother goes nuts trying to be a big brother to just the other two of us.
But it seems like you have a good handle on not doing the "crazy-over-responsible" thing. I respect that.
no subject
the crazy over-responsible thing is kinda my third brother's thing. he wants us to all appear super capable and join the workforce and whatever but he's really just an idiot who drools after idols all day. but he still nags us like everything...
i'd rather just have a good time, y'know? life is supposed to be fun! so you do what you want!
no subject
Doing what you want is the only way to go, though, I agree. I mean, when you can - it's hard when your family is always doing stuff you don't want.
no subject
oof. you get brought out on camping trips and boring museum trips and stuff? one of those families that focuses on 'family fun'? that's awful. it gets way easier when you're allowed to say no 'cause you're an adult and you do what you want, but can't say i haven't been there once or twice.
