Summer Test Drive Meme!

[trpmods]

Welcome to the Current Test Drive for The Revival Project!

This game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about the game, including more details on the setting, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

A thread on the TDM will be required for all applications. Please view the FAQ for information about how this works. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ as well.

If you are a Drift Fleet alumni bringing your character from the game, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level. Also, keep in mind you have complete flexibility on how your character comes here. They could be taken before endgame, after endgame, two years after, one year before, etc. It's up to you! If you want to completely restart your character, they're not considered DFAU anymore and won't need the label.

So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!

Thread ideas:

- Explore the city! There's a map here and a bit more description of some of the buildings here. Most of the buildings are run down and have clearly been abandoned for years; fortunately, the water treatment center appears to be working, but power is intermittent and unreliable. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (For test drive purposes, the ship that will let you enter is up to you, so just pick whichever name appeals, and go for it!) The other ships won't open for you, but it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows ghosts of people you know and those you don't. It drains you of any super-human abilities and tries its best to keep you from getting to its origin. Are you going to try anyways? Or are you going to chase the whispers of people from your past? More information can be found here.

- Can you hear me now? Upon arrival, your character will have on their person a small, handheld communications device. Maybe they know exactly how to use a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and immediately blast out a text or video trying to figure out what's going on. Or maybe they're not so tech-savvy after all, and everyone is about to get a lovely shot right up your character's left nostril.

- Wildcard! You're welcome to use any previous test drive scenarios or previous game events as a basis for a thread/situation, or simply make up your own! Keep in mind that you're currently stranded on a planet with only basic necessities, but there is enough food and fresh water. Creature comforts, however, seem to be distinctly lacking...

June (Activity) Check-in!

[trpmods]

Hello all, and happy July!

June was another AC-free month; in lieu of posting AC, we are asking that all players (new and old) please check in via this post. All we need is a brief comment to let us know you're still here. Characters/players on hiatus are exempt (unless you wish to check in; feel free!).

Because we've had some player (and character) losses and additions, we're also asking that you please provide your character's expertise (if they have one) in your check-in comment as well. If you're thinking of having them switch expertise between the end of Calibrations (July 10) and the next event, which will likely start mid- to late July, list the expertise they'll hold at the start of the next event. So, if your character currently has Engineering but you want them to have switched to Medical before the next event starts, list Medical as their expertise in your check-in comment. Same goes for new characters who don't have an expertise yet - if your character will have an expertise by the time the next event starts, go ahead and list that now.

You can find more info about Data Points here. Remember that characters can switch expertise at will by touching the relevant Data Point, but can have only one expertise at a time. Expertise is not required; your character can opt not to have one, no problem.

Hopefully that's all clear, but let us know if you have questions! As a reminder, July will require half our normal AC and we'll go back up to full AC requirements in August. You can find the regular AC info here. Hiatuses and other exemptions are still, of course, possible. If you have any AC concerns in the coming months, please reach out to the mods. We're here to work with you!
