《玫瑰之名》,大家知道,背景是70年代意大利作家翁贝托.埃科的作品《玫瑰的名字》。
刚看《修道院的秘密》规则时,突然发现,其背景好像也是《玫瑰的名字》。
《修》规则中,背景描述部分如下:
The peaceful Templars’ Abbey is a rare haven of tranquility for road weary travelers. And so you found it when you arrived late last night. That serenity was shattered this morning with the discovery of the lifeless body of Brother Adelmo at the foot of the Monastery cliffs. Did the usually nimble-footed Brother slip to his death? Or did someone help him in his fall? All signs point to foul play… and the Abbot has asked you and your companions to investigate and find the answer to the question, “Who killed Brother Adelmo?”
与原著相同点:
- 故事背景相同(修道院)
- 死亡方式相同(高处坠落)
- 死亡地点相同(悬崖下)
- 死者名字相同(这个很重要)
与原著不同点:
- 原著中没有提到修道院名称;《修》中提到了修道院为Templars' Abbey。
计划入《修》,《玫》和《罗马竞技场》,已经成DOW fan了。可惜好像前两个都不太好找。
最后说一下,原著不太好读,里面有太多神学知识和基督教历史知识,对欧洲宗教史不了解的话,读着很费劲。
