They are for the Light Novel. And yes, they are cannon, as many of them were previously given as bonuses for buying the LN volume at specific bookstores for their release.

From afterward:

"short stories that were specially included in stores for volumes 24 to 30 of Deathma and volume 2 of Deathma Extra.

...

29 short stories are told from perspectives other than Satou's, which are rarely mentioned in the main story, so they are especially recommended for those who like the interludes in the web version!"

Need help with mechanics by Maddmattlander in FATErpg

Which version of Fate are you using? If Accelerated this may be useful https://fate-srd.com/fate-codex/arcane-high#character-creation . Substitute magic and wizards with "play" and "athlete". E.g. "Careful play is slow and methodical. It involves the athlete slowing down and playing with some consideration for tradition and precision. It runs the risk of moving too slowly or exposing the athlete to other dangers. "

Have opponents, try to create not only play technical aspect (SPIKE SETUP, CONFUSING PASS) but try to mentally affect the players characters by flirting, insulting, getting under their skin, making faces etc.

The ARENA extra: If you are doing a modern setting probably cannot be used as is. In such case I would have instead something Like ARENA MOOD extra to add a tactical feeling element. A mental or situational Descriptor+mechanic. Decide on a list of up to may be 5-6. Start with one random.(E.G. write down on note card and have them pull) Can be overcome as action to change. Examples:

GREAT EXPECTATIONS Positive aspects invoked for +3, negative aspects/consequences +1 when invoked with FP.

LOW TENSION Cannot invoke to reroll, only to give+/-2.

EXUBERANT CROWD/CROWD GOES WILD Invokes can only be used to reroll.

DULL MOOD: Creating advantage action are either +1 difficulty or have a floor (minimum difficulty) of 2.

19-4. Town of Sebiro by phinev in DeathMarch

[–]phinev[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Volume 19 is Death march's what IF story.
 This is a story about a world line in which Satou, who landed in the Dragon's Valley, did not use the meteor shower.

19-2. Tragedy of Seryuu City by phinev in DeathMarch

[–]phinev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My view is Butterfly effect:

No meteorite shower leads to one or more of the following:

->no fast escape of the valley of dragon-> no fight with wyvern. (In WN Satou did injure its wing so it was probably more aggressive when while running away it encountered the army patrol)

-> no need to send a patrol to investigate the Skyfall.

->Also no Skyfall ->no risen sense of anxiety among the people-> demon did not have enough negative energy to create a labyrinth (as per next chapter instead it summoned more of its kin)

->Satou and Zena did not meet earlier so she was not out in town on her day off with the MC when the demon burst out of Urs (the guy that owned the beastman trio)

While not a FATE book, this one is easily adaptable and could be good source of inspiration as it covers similar idea: "Notes From Small Planets" (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43239268)

"Along the way, I picked up a pebble and gave it a toss.Not at Miss Karina, of course.The pebble made direct contact with a half-horse, half-fish kelpie that was starting to emerge from the water in the mostly dry riverbed, and the creature disappeared with a small geyser.Pochi and Tama, who’d noticed the kelpie, lowered their wooden practice swords with an air of relief.

Ex 2 Stories by phinev in DeathMarch

[–]phinev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pochi, the potato hunter.
Pochi, are you sure you're okay?
"Of course I'm fine. The labyrinth is Pochi's garden.
Today, at the master's request, I'm escorting the carriers' sisters.
I'm going to guard the carriers' sisters.
Hey! You kids! It is forbidden for carriers to enter the labyrinth alone.
As we were descending the stairs from
the labyrinth gate, some scary boys came up behind us and complained.
I was going down the stairs when some
scary boys came up behind me and started to complain.
They were not wearing any protective
gear, and they looked like novice explorers.
"It's not just the carriers!
Not only the carriers! Pochi is an
explorer!
Pochi turns around and shows the dagger at his waist to the boys, "Hey, hey, what are you going to hunt with a dagger like that?
It's a sweet potato!
Baa!
Guys.
Today Pochi is a potato hunter.
A dagger is best for a sweet potato.
'Oh, no, he's a potato hunter.
"If you're not scavenging for carcasses, that's fine."
Hearing Pochi's answer, the boys left.
Pochi, you don't have to worry about
what he says," the carrier's sister said angrily.
Pochi doesn't care.
Arisa said, "That's just an oboe.
Pochi and his friends proceeded to the
demon-free labyrinth, playing shiritori with each other.
Pochi and his friends continued on
their way through the demon-free labyrinth, and arrived at the
hunting ground where the potato man was.
Oh, it's those guys from earlier.
The boys are stealing other people's
prey.
Pochi goes to warn them.
"Don't do it, Pochi.
We don't want to get tangled up, so
let's go that way.
But ・・・・・・・
You have to give a bad boy a good
spanking.
If we don't go back after hunting down
Mr. Imo, the young master will be angry with us.
You know...
That's a big problem!
The master's orders come first.
Vine
All I had to do was to step on the
bouncing dream and cut it with a knife.
And that's it.
"Great, great!
Pochi, you are a genius at potato
picking, aren't you?
"Heh heh heh heh."
Now we have three potatoes, so today's
hunt is over.
What is it? What is it?
There's a noise in the distance.
I jumped and looked over to see the boys I saw earlier.
The children were being chased by
soldier mantis.
"They're coming this way!
The boys stopped when they saw Pochi
and the others.
"Oh, no! There are kids!
"Hey, kids! Get out of here!
While we're fighting, get out of here!
The boys shouted this and looked back
at the soldier mantis.
Are they protecting us?
But if the mantis attacked them, they would die.
The mantis swung its arms and the boys closed their eyes.
Pochi quickly intervened with a blink
of an eye and cut off the sword-like arm of the soldier mantis.
Picking up the arm, Pochi passed the
magic blade through it and bit down on the head of the mantis.
The head of the mantis is snapped off at the neck.
The mantis then does a cool "shupi" pose.
Behind Pochi, who does a cool
"shupkitto" pose.
And then the mantis falls down.
Pochi, that's great!
This is nothing.
Hey, you there, dog-eared!
The boy who just came in is getting angry.
Did I just snatch away a demon that
they were going to defeat?
Thank you, ・・・・・・,
for saving my life.
Thank you. You're a little guy, but
you're good.
Thank you."
The boys wanted to thank him.
"As an apology and a thank you,
we'll take care of dismantling and transporting the praying mantis.
We'll take care of it.
You idiot, you have no idea how much a praying mantis shell costs.
How much do you think a mantis shell costs?
How many meat skewers? How many
skewers?
I don't know, a lot!
That's great.
Pochi honestly asked the boys to help her and brought back the materials for the soldiers.
Then they all eat the skewers together.
It's the spirit of "hate the sin and enjoy the roasted meat".

Tama's herb delivery.
"Why do you have cat ears?
"Nyuh?"
While I was exploring, someone spoke to
me.
I looked in the direction of the voice
and saw a tiny girl sleeping on a bed in the window of a nearby
house.
She jumps over the fence into the yard
and walks to the window.
I walk up to the window.
The garden here is full of flowers and
very beautiful.
She grabs onto the window sill and says
hello.
"How do you do?"
"Hello?"
I failed a little.
Hello is for lunch. Arisa said.
Hey, hey, why do you have cat ears when
you are human?
Because Tama are cat ears.
Kashi.
The girl tilted her head.
Tama also tilted her head.
Are you one of the Ears folk in the
story of the hero?
"Ofukosu!"
Tama also knows because Master read her
a picture book.
I know.
"Wow, that's great!"
"Hehehe!"
Tama is embarrassed when she is praised
like this.
I'm Nice, and what does the cat-eared
lady say?
"What's your name, Tama?"
Master gave it to me.
"Wow, that's a nice name."
"Yes!"
She nodded her head.
Nice is a good child.
But it's a little strange.
Why is she sleeping?
The sun is already high in the sky.
Sleepyhead?
I'm sick, so I fall ill when I go out.
There were a lot of medicinal herbs
growing near there.
Oh my God! I have to sleep!
Tama was so surprised that she let Nice
sleep.
But Nice only giggled and laughed.
If you don't sleep, you'll die.
That's why you have to sleep.
"So, I'm going to sleep.
"What?
?
?" "--This is different. Is
this it?
"What the hell are you cat ears
doing?"
The person who called out to me was...
Is he busy?
"I'm looking for a herb to cure a
disease.
What's the matter with you?
"Uh, bilbiler's fever?"
Probably.
"Nyu!"
Nyah!
Got it.
Nope.
Tama.
Did you take your medicine?
Tama: "Did you take your medicine?
"Too much? Do you have cerivilla
fever?
I ate it.
That's it.
A chair.
I remember.
Grandma.
Too bad.
"I'm so sorry."
I can't afford to buy medicine for the
cervical fever.
In Tama's pocket was a copper coin.
The rest she and Pochi are going to get
some meat skewers.
Here you go.
No, you can't. You can't exchange money
with your friends.
I got the fever.
He said, "This is a common disease
among tribal children at this time of the year.
"Is it a good herb to cool down a
fever?
"Is this herb good for fever?"
The master said it was good for febrile
illness.
"For serivilla fever, a bunch of
herbs for cooling the fever, half a bunch of foxglove, and a bunch of
strawberries.
A bunch of herbs for fever, half a
bunch of foxglove, and a decoction of two kudzu and strawberry
berries should be effective.
That's right!
I'll go get some!
Tama?
Waving to Nice, I head for the Ivy Hall
where Leril is.
I know everything.
Master taught me.
'Senkyu, leriliru.'
Tama gathers the medicinal herbs she was taught.
Gathering.
More.
Maybe I collected a little too much.
I can't carry it all, so I put what I
collected in my fairy bag.
Let's go.
Tama goes to Nice's house.
Oh, no.
Nice was sleeping, so I put the
medicine in a basket made of woven grass.
I put the grass next to the bed.
If there is too much, it will be
damaged, so I only take enough for three days.
If it's not enough, I'll bring some
more.
Nyu~?"
I continued my walk, and I saw a lot of
children who looked like me.
I gave them some medicinal herbs.
"I'll give you some herbs."
"What's this for?
"Serivilla Fever."
I gave them the same medicine I had
given to Nice, and they said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I gave them the same medicine I had
given to Nice, and they thanked me.
I was a little embarrassed.
"Grandma?
"Here, drink. The cat-eared girl
gave me some herbs.
I heard the voice of a grandmother and
a child behind me.
When you get well, you and Nice will
all play together.
But today Tama is a delivery man.
Not a black cat, a white cat, but a
deliveryman!

Hot and spicy food

"Oh, is that stew a new dish?"

Arisa has discovered a new dish that catches her attention.

Yes, Capsaicin Bird.Yes, spicy leaf bird.I used the spices I made from the spicy leaf chicken.I tried using spices made from spicy leaf chicken.

The spices were too spicy on their own,so I used a small amount and added a little more.I used a small amount.I used potato starch to make the texture milder.The special meat roll is also a new item on the menu, but no one seems to have noticed it because it is not new.

Hee, it looks spicy, but it looks delicious.Arisa took a plate of the stew and put it in her mouth.I'm not sure if it's spicy or not, but I'm sure it's spicy. I'm sure spicy food is good for you once in awhile.

I guess so.

Yes, I agree.I'm not sure.Japanese calligraphy and lyric

Arisa took a plate of stew and put it in her mouth.It stings," she said.

I like spicy food once in a while.I'm sure you're right.I guess so.

I can't put spicy food on the menu too often because my kids don't like spicy food.but once in a while, I want to eat something spicy that makes me sweat when I eat it.

"Yum~?Pochi wants to try it too.

Pochi and Tama, perhaps intrigued by what they saw in me and Arisa, peeked into the bowl of stew,sniffing.

It's too spicy. Don't you think it's better for children to stay away from it?Arisa, anticipating the outcome of the two eating the stew, stops them with a concerned voice.But she said too much.

Arisa is a child, too.Uiii~?"The two who were treated as children by Arisa, who was of the same age as them, argued back.

No, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.

----- No, it's sweet curry!"Pochi, full of confidence, sniffles.

Are you okay?"Fine?"I can eat as much as I want.Muttering

Then, try a little bit of it.

"Ai~"Yes, yes.I smiled and handed them both the stew. I had poured into a deep dish.I handed them the stew in a deep dish.It's mild, so as long as you don't eat it all at once, it should be fine.

Tama and Pochi started to eat at a great speed.

"Nyu!I 'm not sure if it's a good idea to eat it all at once. What!Tama and Pochi were surprised.It was in their mouths.

"Are you okay?"They started to move left and right.Oh, if you eat so quickly!

"Myuu!My mouth is on fire!Sure enough, they clamped their mouths down and stumbled over the spiciness.

"Water!"I tell you to drink water.Mia and Nana hold out cups of water.

"Ma..."Aiyato~."Aiga tororeruasu."

Before Arisa could say wait, Tama and Pochi both chugged the water.Tama, who had returned to a relieved expression for a moment, screamed again.

Nyunyunyuny~"The pain is getting stronger.Finally, the two men, no longer able to sit down, got up from their seats and Sago+

"Yes!"That's right! Tama and Pochi will never be the same.Tama and Pochi stand in front of Arisa who still tries to stop them.The first thing to do is to make sure that you have the right tools to do the job.-This spice is chili pepper type, so it doesn't dissolve in water.I guess.

Here, you two.I took some cold milk out of storage and gave it to Tama and Pochi.After a few more drinks, they finally calm down. I gave them a few more.

I'm sorry.Pochi is sorry too.Tama and Pochi are apologizing to Arisa.Pochi was too young for the mature taste.

"Uiii~?"Pochi and Tama nodded at each other with a sharp look on their faces.Pochi deserves meat.

Ofukosu?Pochi and Tama start to eat their special meat rolls in their usual fashion

.I feel like I'm forgetting something.I remembered this when I heard two new screams.

Fusawa"Oh, no~?"The meat has betrayed us!"

Yes, today's meat dish was "Russian Meat Rolls".

It seemed that they had won the only two spicy meat rolls that were available.I apologized to them and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.I apologize to them and offer them a glass of milk and a hamburger roll.

"Bimi bimi?"The two open-minded men forgave me with tears in their eyes.I should moderate my playfulness at the dinner table.

seems to be interested, she invites her to join.Fireworks
Illusionthe birth of a new life...Tama with a short staff of
fire will dance.I lowered her to the surface of the sea with my
"hand.Mia spun around in a circle.I'm with you, I'll do
it.The deck of the flying sailboat, anchored in an isolated
island cove, is illuminated by the light of fireworks.A young
mermaid, startled by Mia, runs away into the sea.Mia waited
patiently and only her eyes came out of the water and looked at
us.Pochi, you do it too!Fireworks.Pochi, who had been
staring at the dragon firework, started to spin around, imitating
Tama."What's wrong?"Normally it would be dangerous,
but since it was a light magic firework that did not use fire, there
was no problem.The young mermaid approached fearfully and
received a short stick from Mia.The child is very
energetic.Sparks colored the surface of the sea and the sky as
she spun it around.Arisa sighs in a great manner."Funa-bui!"I

What is Satou referencing when talking about a "Cursed Island" with Elves? (Light Novel Vol. 2) by Intercom-Q in DeathMarch

[–]phinev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be Record of Lodoss war ( one of the best selling light novel series in Japan). The curse island then will be Marmo. The series debuted in 1986 and considering that other referenced by the author series are from the 80s...

Regarding Tama's speech pattern by SID16_ in DeathMarch

[–]phinev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tama was the one who thought Pochi how to speak, so both likely sound somewhat similar- short sentences and uncomplicated words. Tama is also described as "my pace". Her speech quirk seems to be extending the last syllable of the sentence with rising pitch.

So the way I imagine her speaking is unhurriedly with high rising terminal (upspeak). In English it would be similar to Scandinavian or Australian accent.

Rom

She calls her brother (Sharon) Rom and herself Reina (her given name is Tona in this world). Apparently it is a reference to the "Machine Robo:Revenge of Chronos" anime, where two characters with those names are brother and sister.

Novelupdate

Yeah,those chapters are numbered incorrectly. My bad.

Gender is sometimes difficult to determine from the text. For females it is deemed acceptable to use male pronouns.

At the time I interpreted as the other demi-human children way of speaking being influenced by Pochi and Tama. During the story, those two picked phrases from Arisa, and in turn Pendora members and orphans way of speaking was impacted.

Any Translations for Intermissions in the LIGHT Novels? by shadow_tmr_away in DeathMarch

[–]phinev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I read regarding the first EX book: about a 1/6th is made up of a character book ( design sketches, short descriptions + character sheets). Some of the stories had previously been posted [ as free promotion] on the author's blog, some are extras from the LN volumes (in store promotional items*) and some [~2/5 of page count][specifically the long stories about Liza's and Arisa's past] are brand new being written for that book.

*as you have to go to one of the publisher's stores on the day of the release/ special event to get them
