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.

It's tough trying to study and focus on things that are not music, it's true. I'm the lead guitarist and main composer, so I kind of always have melodies float in my head. I don't sing, however. Never been that good at it.

I'm suddenly glad my sister can't see anything on here. She really admires musicians. It would turn into her asking me to get tickets to a concern that happens in another world.

[ Admires actually equates to fangirling. She's a young teenage girl so that probably doesn't shock anyone. ]

That, I would be really flattered about. While we aren't that new on the music scene, my band has been playing together for a while, we are quite new at being a full band that performs full songs. We didn't have a lead singer until recently.

Have you given a concert yet? As hard as it is to make a break in the music industry, it'd be exciting when you do.

[uenosama]

We had several performances, yes.

We also competed at CAC- a competition for up and coming bands, and got second place

[He doesn't mind they got second, he minds he lost to Hiiragi]

[worldcleansing]

Was it the type of competition that results in a contract? I've heard even those who place lower than first can get scouted.
