When it comes to picking #Italian books for improving my skill with the language, obviously I had to include a #ttrpg book in the list.
Especially since I have already read the English translation. And I really appreciate the folkloristic aspects of this setting, although I am less enarmored of using #DnD for the system.
Il mondo della Bassa, irruente e sanguigno, e i due protagonisti, il parroco don Camillo …
I enjoyed reading and watching the German translations of the "Don Camillo" books and movies, so the #Italian originals are another obvious choice for my efforts to learn the language.
Though I suspect I will catch a lot more of the political context of these books than when I was a kid.
As I am trying to learn #Italian , reading Italian comics is a logical step - and Corto Maltese came highly recommended.
Enter the Kingdom of Brancalonia, a land full of pitfalls and money-making opportunities. Create your …
I've became interested in the world of Brancalonia as a quirky, folklore-themed #ttrpg setting when it was first released. And now that I've actually started to learn #Italian , my attention has increased - my plan is to read the Italian-language originals of these books once I'm a bit firmer in the language.
Still, I'm not quite happy with the rules for this setting. I mean, I do understand why they picked the 5E version of #DnD , but limiting character growth to 5th level doesn't really make for a great fit. I'd rather use an entirely different rule system that's a better fit for lower-powered protagonists, such as #WFRP , instead of trying to turn the D&D rules into something they are not.
Since I am now trying to learn #Italian, my compulsive habit of picking up any travel books I find on public bookshelves might actually pay off - since a fair amount of these are about #Italy .
Still not sure where in Italy I should go for future vacations - apart from #Venice, of course, which I want to research for a future book I plan to write. I'll probably start with the northern parts of the country, since I'll need to travel by train from northern Germany...
