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

that turtle counts on you, mista.

i think i'm starting to understand why jesus is upset.
grilletto: (♜take my eyes♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
i gave him double lettuce to make up for it though

i'm hearing a lot of errors followed by corrections. maybe baby spider baby jesus is trying to draw your attention to that pattern and encourage you to do your best the first time.
grilletto: (♜against the skull♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
yeah but why not just say it, you know?
just tell me
hey
you messed up again don’t do that
digiorno: (♛ ways of choosing)

[personal profile] digiorno 2020-09-28 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
honestly, i'm not sure about that. other than i think traditionally very few people get such straightforward communication with jesus.

it could also have something to do with pedipalps.
grilletto: (♜of the world and the way♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
giorno...
what the hell is a pedipalp?

spider mouth parts.

they would make it difficult to talk, don't you think?
grilletto: (♜sure for the human race♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
oh
yeah i guess they'd be hard to talk with
it could have used esp or something though
i mean if it can be a baby spider baby jesus
why couldn't it just tell me with it's mind

it does seem unfair. i'm not sure, mista, honestly. its ways are inscrutable. but it'll probably leave you alone now that you've realized what it was angry about. its duty is done.
grilletto: (♜be packing little pistols♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
wait i'm still not sure what it was angry about
is it the dropped gelato or the turtle food?
or both?
digiorno: <user name="peaked"> | dnt (♛ i swear i'll prove you wrong)

[personal profile] digiorno 2020-09-28 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
the turtle food, i think. you did the right thing with the gelato even if it did get dropped. but the turtle food was shirking responsibility.

it makes a lot of sense that it wanted to eat you then. it was hungry like the turtle was hungry. a parable.
