Mesi di silenzio e poi due articoli a pochi giorni di distanza,
sei bipolare direte voi. “Forse.” risponderei io. Avendo avuto il dubbio ho
tirato sulla tabella delle Follie
della Guida del DM di AD&D prima edizione. Il buon Gygax si era documentato
a dovere e riassumeva con efficacia il comportamento delle persone affette da
malattie mentali.
Il mio risultato è stato:
Manic-Depressive:
During the manic phase (which
lasts 2d6 days), the character will become
very excited about something - virtually anything will do. The character
will select a goal (which may be a very inappropriate one) and focus totally on
achieving it. Then there is an intermediary phase, which lasts 2d6 days, and a
depressive phase, in which the character will always assume that there is no
chance of success. A depressive character will want to remain indoors and at
rest in a place of safety. The depressive phase lasts 2d6 days, followed by
which there is another 2d6-day intermediary phase before the cycle begins again.
