Test Drive - October/November

[d3mods]

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:

FAQ → Rules → Reserves → Taken
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.

better, we're getting there, that's a good reassurance to have
they're still probably going to be scared no matter what once they know they're dead but if it's not gonna be painful then that probably helps a lot

[oneiroslacker]

Why are mortals so scared of death anyway? It happens to everybody. Literally everybody.

[zenryokubatankyu]

you're right, it does, but i think a lot of things play into it

the suddenness of it, for one. most people don't really know when they might die so it could be any time with any thing, even things people don't know about at first

for me its the separation of it
i have 5 little brothers so if i died i wouldn't get to see them until they did. i might be able to watch them or something, i don't know if the afterlife lets you watch living people like some might say it might, but i couldn't talk to them or interact with them at all
so that'd really take a toll on me

[oneiroslacker]

Oh... That makes sense. I'd miss my brother if I couldn't ever talk to him again. Not that Thanatos talks to me that much now!

[zenryokubatankyu]

eh? why not? if you're brothers, you should at least talk sometimes.

though mine sometimes refuse to talk to me when we fight....

[oneiroslacker]

He's always busy! I get that mortals die basically all the time, but he could stop by at home a little more.

[zenryokubatankyu]

oh, oof! and he handles a lot of that? he should, but i know that's gotta be hard...

no one else to take some shinigami shifts?
