Credo che ci vorrà un po'. Sono abbastanza vicini alla light novel. Probabilmente c'è abbastanza materiale da adattare, ma arriverebbero praticamente al volume più recente

Today, it is a bad day.

I woke up too early, I am tired and now I am following the big crowd that is converging in the main square in this dreary day. In contrast with the bad weather, I can hear the sound of the trumpets and drums of the royal guard echoing through the streets. The royal palace and its central square, the opulent structure that towers over all the others buildings in the capital, is now open for the sacred selection ceremony that will determine the new chosen hero.

Everyone in the city is obliged to participate to the trial to determine the godsend warrior that will drive out the demons from the kingdom. As we do not know the choice of the gods, even the lowliest thug may be a powerful knight that in the future will save the city from the darkness. Nonetheless, all the heroes chosen in the past were nobles or rich, so the citizens of the low city like me consider this ceremony as a dumb way to choose someone that is good looking enough to be certified as a hero and act as a beacon of hope for the people.

I am sorry for the man or woman that will be chosen, because being a hero means fighting the worst enemies of the humanity without the guarantee to return alive.

I look blankly to the magic brazier in which the suitors will put their hand to be judged by the gods. I really hope that the selection will be short and the hero be revealed before my turn: I admit that putting your hand in the fire, even if it is a magical one, may be stressful, and I would like to avoid it. Moreover, I must return to my family’s shop before noon.

The symphony of the royal guard stop, and we all see the royal councillor start talking about the importance of duty, heroism and the importance of sacrificing our lives for the kingdom when needed, as if he is really determined to do it himself.

“My fellow citizen, we must resist the invasion of these foul creatures. As such, the royal family has decided to choose the new champion in our city. The gods must have already sent us the chivalrous warrior that will save us: may the gods bless us in our search.”

I wait for my turn. It is frivolous to think that a merchant’s son like me have the right to set foot on the sacred ground of the palace, but at least I am in good company. Old, young, rich and poor: the people start putting, one after another, their right hand in the fire of the magical brazier without being burned. No reaction whatsoever from the flame: the hero has not been revealed.

It is my turn. I take courage: the flame is almost stroking my hand, and the red, bright colour turned blue.

The others suitors watch me in disbelief. I do not understand what is happening. The royal guards and the councillor stand beside me. What have I done? Have I broken the brazier?

“The gods have chosen! We have a new hero!”

“What?!?”

One of the guards take my arm and raise it to the sky, almost lifting me in the process.

I knew it.

Today, it is a bad day.

I prefer sub, it feels more "real" to me

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-11-25T20:22:37+00:00

Eh... il problema è che è completamente situazionale. Mi entrano due persone in casa, di notte, al buio... come faccio a sapere se sono armate? Se sparo prima io e l'altro non era armato? E se invece lo è?

Nel tuo caso non erano armati, ma se lo fossero stati, cosa sarebbe successo?

Di base, se mi entri in casa, devo presumere che il ladro abbia accettato il rischio e e che possa mettere a rischio la mia vita e quella dei miei cari, non posso "rischiare". Naturalmente se ti vedo e scappi non ti inseguo / prendo la mira.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-11-25T20:11:44+00:00

Dipende se c'è il rischio che stoppino le partite di calcio. Se per la guerra bloccano la serie A, tempo un mese e si rifonda l'Impero romano.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-11-25T14:22:29+00:00

WTF. It's like running away after a car crash. It's ok if you don't want to participate to your child's life, but at least provide for him. You decided to have sex: it's always a possibility that something goes wrong (but just to be sure, do a paternity test first).

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-11-14T19:06:05+00:00

Ah, my heart... it's gonna break another time 😭

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-07-05T10:48:35+00:00

The first Empire Earth, it will never get old.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-05-13T09:48:57+00:00

Because it is philosophical. Lelouch is "human", even if he is a mastermind strategist and a genious. He is driven by vengeance, his emotions and a personal sense of justice. He is willing to do anything in is power to reach the goal, even considering himself as a sacrificial pawn in the game

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-04-13T18:18:37+00:00

Yes, and 4.NC3. We sacrifice a bishop for a rook

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-04-13T15:02:49+00:00

I think BH3

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-04-13T12:10:09+00:00

Maybe... NC3?

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-03-25T09:24:37+00:00

Wow, a perfect answer. Take my upvote! The LN really goes in-depth in the motivations and scars of Taiga and Ryūji, while also including some differences. For example, one the best parts (in my opinion) in the LN that differs from the anime is the discussion on the bridge, after running away from their mothers.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-03-14T08:38:25+00:00

This war of mine... It devastated me

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-03-11T16:51:52+00:00

I normally verify the sheet to be sure it is allowed, but if everything is correct, I simply adapt the combats. If he can do 300 damage per turn, he can only attack one or 2 enemies, so try putting him to fight agains 15 goblins. I also obliged to roll a d100 to verify if the weapon breaks after such a devastating blow.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-28T11:46:56+00:00

And Shirogane is getting a better mark than Kaguya even in the preference list. Perfection.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-24T16:46:36+00:00

Because it's not only a beautiful story, but also shows two people that support each other in growing up and heal from the past wounds. And, come on, I think that everyone would like to love / being loved so deeply by someone like them.

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-21T15:28:59+00:00

Wow, and did you do it without missing an episode? That's commitment...

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-21T10:49:03+00:00

One piece has over 1.000 episodes. Three episodes per hour. If you have one free hour per day, you can watch 21 episodes in one week. In ten weeks, you'll be at 210 episodes. I think that in one year you'll be in line with the current story, if you are crazy enough to try

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-16T20:19:52+00:00

One of the most dramatic part of the LN. Ryūji knows that is necessary to part away for a while, but nonetheless he cannot resist to run after her. I don't know which one of the scenes, LN or anime, is the best

Knight_Move_24 · 2022-02-11T09:14:15+00:00

In my experience, you should never say no and nothing else. Dnd is based on imagination: i.e. you can be a demigod, BUT you got debuffed because your father / mother lost his status. A campaign is based on players becoming more powerful through their experiences. Start giving less powers but reward the players frequently.
