+## Consulting the Oracle: Diceless Version
+
+This version doesn't use dice. It uses character abilities, narrative circumstances, and resources to determine outcomes. By using a decision matrix focused on diegetic elements, you maintain structured resolutions without random elements.
+
+### Setup
+- Define criteria for outcomes based on character traits, skills, and the current narrative.
+- Use the decision matrix to evaluate these elements.
+
+### Resolution
+
+1. **Ask the Question:** The player asks a closed question that requires a resolution (e.g., "Is the door unlocked?").
+
+2. **Evaluate Factors:**
+- Assess relevant character traits and skills.
+- Consider the current narrative circumstances.
+
+3. **Decision Matrix:** Use the decision matrix based on character abilities and narrative context to determine the outcome.
+
+4. **Twist Counter:** If the answer is "Yes, but..." add a point to the Twist Counter.
+
+### Decision Matrix
+
+| Player Factor/Action           | Influence | Outcome         |
+|--------------------------------|-----------|-----------------|
+| Relevant Skill/Ability Present | High      | Yes             |
+| Relevant Skill/Ability Absent  | Low       | No              |
+| Favorable Circumstances        | Medium    | Yes, but...     |
+| Unfavorable Circumstances      | Medium    | No, but...      |
+| Exceptional Resources/Preparation | High   | Yes, and...     |
+| Lack of Resources/Preparation  | Low       | No, and...      |
+
+### Guidelines for Resolution
+
+1. **Skill and Ability Check:**
+   - If a character has a relevant skill or ability, the outcome leans towards **Yes**.
+   - If the skill or ability is absent, the outcome leans towards **No**.
+
+2. **Circumstances:** Assess the circumstances surrounding the question.
+   - Favorable circumstances lean towards **Yes, but...**.
+   - Unfavorable circumstances lean towards **No, but...**.
+
+3. **Resources and Preparation:**
+   - Exceptional resources or preparation lean towards **Yes, and...**.
+   - Lack of resources or preparation lean towards **No, and...**.
+
+### Resolution Example
+
+- **Question:** "Is the door unlocked?"
+- **Character Factors:** The character is a skilled locksmith (Relevant Skill Present).
+- **Circumstances:** The door is sturdy (Unfavorable Circumstances).
+- **Resources/Preparation:** The character has a complete set of high-quality lockpicking tools (Exceptional Resources).
+
+**Outcome:** Based on the decision matrix:
+- Relevant Skill Present: High influence towards **Yes**.
+- Unfavorable Circumstances: Medium influence towards **No, but...**.
+- Exceptional Resources: High influence towards **Yes, and...**.
+
+**Final Decision:** The door is unlocked easily due to the character's skill and tools (**Yes, and...**).

-- Iconic characters such as Merlin, Morgana, Lancelot, Guinevere, etc.
-- Driudic setting with sacred woods, ancient rituals and ancient Celtic beliefs

+## Consultare l'oracolo: Versione senza dadi
+
+Questa versione non utilizza i dadi. Utilizza le abilità dei personaggi, le circostanze narrative e le risorse per determinare i risultati. Utilizzando una matrice decisionale incentrata su elementi diegetici, si mantengono risoluzioni strutturate senza elementi casuali.
+
+### Preparazione
+- Definisci i criteri per gli esiti in base ai tratti del personaggio, alle abilità e alla narrazione in corso.
+- Usa la matrice decisionale per valutare questi elementi.
+
+### Risoluzione
+
+1. **Fare la domanda:** Il giocatore pone una domanda chiusa che richiede una risoluzione (ad esempio, "La porta è aperta?").
+
+2. **Valutare i fattori:**
+- Valutare i tratti e le abilità rilevanti del personaggio.
+- Considerare le circostanze narrative attuali.
+
+3. **Matrice decisionale:** Utilizzare la matrice decisionale basata sulle abilità del personaggio e sul contesto narrativo per determinare il risultato.
+
+4. **Contatore di colpi di scena:** Se la risposta è "Sì, ma...", aggiungi un punto al Contatore dei colpi di scena.
+
+### Matrice decisionale
+
+| Fattore/Azione del Giocatore | Influenza | Esito |.
+|--------------------------------|-----------|-----------------|
+| Competenza/Abilità rilevante Presente | Alta | Sì |
+| Abilità/Abilità rilevante assente | Bassa | No |
+| Circostanze favorevoli | Medio | Sì, ma...     |
+| Circostanze sfavorevoli | Medie | No, ma...      |
+| Risorse eccezionali/preparazione | Alta | Sì, e...     |
+| Mancanza di risorse/preparazione | Bassa | No, e...      |
+
+### Linee guida per la risoluzione
+
+1. **Verifica di abilità e capacità:**
+   - Se un personaggio possiede un'abilità o una capacità rilevante, l'esito propende per il **Sì**.
+   - Se l'abilità o la capacità è assente, l'esito propende per il **No**.
+
+2. **Circostanze:** Valutare le circostanze che caratterizzano la domanda.
+   - Le circostanze favorevoli propendono per il **Sì, ma...**.
+   - Le circostanze sfavorevoli propendono per **No, ma...**.
+
+3. **Risorse e preparazione:**
+   - Risorse o preparazione eccezionali fanno propendere per **Sì, e...**.
+   - La mancanza di risorse o di preparazione propende per **No, e...**.
+
+### Esempio di risoluzione
+
+- **Domanda:** "La porta è aperta?".
+- **Fattori del personaggio:** Il personaggio è uno scassinatore esperto (Abilità rilevante presente).
+- **Circostanze:** La porta è robusta (Circostanze sfavorevoli).
+- **Risorse/Preparazione:** Il personaggio dispone di un set completo di strumenti di alta qualità per forzare la serratura (Risorse eccezionali).
+
+**Risultato:** Basato sulla matrice decisionale:
+- Abilità rilevante presente: Alta influenza verso **Sì**.
+- Circostanze sfavorevoli: Media influenza verso **No, ma...**.
+- Risorse eccezionali: Alta influenza verso **Sì, e...**.
+
+**Decisione finale:** La porta si apre facilmente grazie all'abilità e agli strumenti del personaggio (**Sì, e...**).
