TDM 0.1: May 2018
Entartung awaits you, its newest citizen.
Brought to the city of Centre via as-yet unknown mechanics, you've been implanted bodily with the network chip, giving you immediate access to the SYNC network. You have awakened in the local religious temple, dressed in a clean white robe, freshly washed, and with all previous injuries fully healed. When you awaken you become aware this isn't the first location where you have been brought—first you were interrogated in a formless place, a place that had no physical features and no way to sustain yourself. You were brought there and questioned until you agreed to become a citizen of Entartung. Congratulations on your arrival!
Under Entartung’s cold grey skies and endless day, you’re left with few answers about what your presence here means. But you’re the resilient type, right? You’ll figure out how to make the best of it.
Welcome to the Entartung Test Drive Meme! Here you can:
- Become familiar with the setting of Entartung
- Get a feel for whether your character fits into the setting
- Engage in play which may be used as game canon if you are later accepted into the game

Feel free to use the prompts below to shape the starter for your thread:
- Waking up is hard to do: Like everyone who arrives, you’re found unconscious in the temple and immediately are implanted with your SYNC neural network chip. But after you were washed and dressed in your pristine white robe, something went wrong with the amount of medication in your system. You do not have a pleasant awakening, and your immediate response is panic. Hopefully someone will be there to help talk you down.
- Infrastructure: Exploring the areas beyond the city yield many interesting discoveries, such as the environmental collectors that dominate the landscape outside the city. Thankfully, there’s a fence preventing accidental falls from the ring at the edge, and the actual construction of the environmental scrubbers seems sound. It’s easy to see why it’s so important for everything to run like part of a well-oiled machine. It’s just your luck to be here when one of the transformers decides to blow.
- Mind Wipe: The real currency of Entartung is knowledge, and everyone knows the ability to sell information to the leadership here is the only real power anyone has. But what if that process went wrong? What if they tried to take one thing and instead they took... everything?
- Network: Characters have full access to the network as soon as they leave the Temple. Even with getting used to the Dvorak keyboard, sending and receiving messages is a snap. What will you send?
- Wildcard: Think of a scenario that strikes your fancy better than one of these? Throw it into your prompt.
Network || un: LORD FancyPants McGee
Cause I think if you aren't a REAL King you could get into a lot of trouble by insisting people call you things.
i love you so much;
I am the one and only King of Uruk, of course. Did you not look at my username? Any fool worth their weight should recognise it on sight. In life, I had many soldiers, and not just a castle, but an entire City.
It would be entirely lofty and foolhardy to call oneself a king falsely, but I assure you, with no shadow of any doubt, that I am the greatest king to ever live.
[Small ego on this one.]
ily tooo. your gilgamesh gives me lifeeeeee. || un: PRINCESS Fancypants McGee
I don't think that's like ... a substantial way to identify yourself. I was doing it to be discreet.
Because, I'm royalty too. So you know .... I'm JUST SAYING. it's like not cool to brag,
because we're basically like -- all equal here.
[ princess fancypants mcgee, she is TOTALLY RUNNING WITH THIS. ]
So anyway NOW you have to prove it by telling me all about what your kingdom was like.
Like how many rooms did you have in your castle? Did you have any horses with clothes?
Is it really an empire until you have a horse with clothes?
i can literally hear her voice when i read your tags lmfao THANK YOU
He's going to bark out a haughty laugh that absolutely noone is going to hear. (And if they do they're going to start thinking this man is just plain loony.)]
Bragging? You're a fool if you think that's what this is. There is a succinct difference between putting on airs to show off your actual lack of nobility--and there is a pure statement of fact.
And let me tell you, it matters little to me what kind of princess you claim to be--you are nothing near my equal. Come back in four thousand years and try telling me that again.
[ANYWAY:]
My home had countless rooms, hanging gardens and landscapes that were the envy of every other country and even the gods themselves. High, beautiful walls made out of the purest marble. We had no use for horses in my lands--a desert country is no fit place for a steed. But what I did have was a pet lion at my side, as well as a God of the Wild, tamed to take on the shape of a man and fight at my side as my companion.[Please god make him stop talking about himself, Jester.]
THIS IS A FRIENDSHIP(?) I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED UNTIL TODAY
Wellllll. If you're so famous how come I've never heard of Uruk? I mean. I am like the Princess of Hupperdook
and I think I know my geography pretty well. And I've never seen anyone from or mention your kingdom, ever.
I'm sure your kingdom is really really awesome.
Anyway. Given we're both royalty, it's not cool for you to be a butthead. We should be like diplomatic and signing some papers and like have like some fancy dinner parties and maybe, you know a dance or something!!
[ she totally pulled out the wildemount map from her pink haversack of holding and unfastened it to check. and also pick a location where she could be princess off. that said she totally gets excited when you mention a castle and some pretty boss landscaping. ]
A LION? I've never seen an actual lion before. Did you bring them over? Can I be it's friend?
CR that I've always needed even if I never knew it'd be a thing holy shit
It is likely due entirely in fact to you not knowing your history. Uruk is an ancient kingdom, four thousand years aged. I was the first king, and while the lands have changed and have new names now, my rule and knowledge of my feats will never be forgotten.
Unless you are apparently ignorant of history, as you are proving.
[What the fuck is a Hupperdook, he's just. Staring at this word. He hasn't had a chance to look at all the names of new countries and kingdoms, and while they're here and not on Earth, he can't exactly do a quick check to find out she's lying or the fact that they're from different planets. Pity.]
Of course I do not have him here. We were both plucked unwilling from our homes, and I have nothing to show for it. I cannot even bring fourth items from my Gate of Babylon.
So forget the paper-signings and the dances. First comes getting the hell away from this place.
Fool.
I AM JUST LAUGHING SO HARD. GILGAMESH IS THE BEST.
So umm. If you're 4000 years old does that mean you're really old and crusty?
There's nothing wrong with being old!! okay!! it's just it explains a lot of how you're behaving.
it's really okay old man!!
[ she's going to focus on the very important matters. she has no idea what a 'gate of Babylon' is? is it some kind of bag like her haversack? ]
Yeah. this situation sucks. But it's okay -- I'm going to pray really really hard to the Traveller and he'll find the way out of this.
I hope someone can take care of Mr. Lion. What's his name? Can I name him? 🐱🌈
