Do you have a problem with the way I play Duke? Would you like to offer me some constructive criticism? I'd love to hear it! Don't be intimidated, if I am doing something wrong I'd love to know so that I may fix it!
Please comment here, you may do so with your SN or anonymously. I do not IP track. All comments will be screened.

Raoul Duke's non-canon power, given to him as he entered the city, is to give others his hallucinations. What does this mean to you? It means that if Duke took some sort of drug before coming your way, and starts seeing things in your presence, you will see them too. Your character does not have to take any sort of hallucinogen in order for this to work, and your character may not be affected by drugs. This doesn't matter, since they are not taking the actual drugs, they will only be suffering from whatever Duke sees as a result of him taking drugs.
If this is still confusing, feel free to comment and ask any questions.
If you wish to be affected by Duke's hallucinations, please comment here as well. I am also more than happy to write a log with your character, as I find this is the best way to play these scenarios out. I am also available via AIM (bo0do0) if you wish to discuss something in private.
Screwjack. A short story.
Many people are not aware that Duke appears in Thompson's other stories. Here is a terrifying short story entitled "Screwjack" that is supposedly written by Raoul Duke.
Here is the synopsis:
"The heart of the collection lies in its final, title piece, an unnatrally poignant love story. What makes the romantic tale "Screwjack" so touching, for all its queerness, is the aching melancholy in its depiction of the modern man's burden: that "we are doomed. Mama has gone off to Real Estate School ...and after that maybe even Law School. We will never see her again."
Ostensibly written by Raoul Duke, "Screwjack" begins with an editor's note explaining of Thompson's alter ego that "the first few lines cotain no warning of the madness and fear and lust that came more and more to plague him and dominate his life...."
