I had the great pleasure of having Dr Lynne Hardy (Chaosium, Cogs, Cakes & Swordsticks) and Sebastian Major (Our Fake History) for this October's episode of The RPG Academy Film Studies. https://rolistespod.com/2022/10/16/film-studies-the-name-of-the-rose-the-one-which-inspired-rosewood-abbey
We head to 1327 with Jean-Jacques Annaud's adaptation of Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose".
Something happened when I prepared for this episode and recorded it.
It inspired me to create my second TTRPG.
Rosewood Abbey is in development but the playtest rules are already publicly available. https://rolistespod.itch.io/rosewood-abbey-draft
This is an attempt at adapting Brindlewood Bay's PbtA system to play mysteries inspired by “The Name of the Rose” and the 90s British TV show “Cadfael”.
