FlashFighter Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Excited about Lucha Libre Hero, I've started coming up with some possible adventure hooks. I'll post more as I come up with them. 1) A mad scientist decides to build a monster. However, in order to build the perfect monster, he has gone through several failed attempts. He decides he needs someone with a perfect body in order for his monster to be the best. Our Luchadors are stalked by the monsters in order to bring them to the doctor, to build the perfect monster! 2) The Narcos have turned a little border town into a deadly gang war. Ordinary people cannot live their lives without the fear of the Narcos. Our heroes, prepared to defend the championship title in this town are approached by the townsfolk, for their town is in need of masked heroes! 3) The luchadors are hired to go on an expidition into the jungles of Mexico to find The Mask of Truth, which is said to be located in an ancient Aztec pyramid. However, what happens when the heroes also find the mask's evil counterpart, The Mask of Deception? 4) A Satanic Mad Scientist is using his cabal of Evil Midget Cultists to kidnap Mexico's hottest Soap Opera stars. He plans to sacrifice them to his Dark Lord in exchange for immortality. Our Masked marvels are called in to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashFighter Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads 5) A group of Japanese wrestlers have joined the promotion. However a rash of crime his swept Mexico, perpetrated by NINJAS! Are the newcomers responsible? Or have their ninja nemesises followed them to Mexico? 6) Los Luchadores vs. El Chupacabra. After mysterious animal mutilations, the luchadores are called in to investigate, but what happens when they come face to face with EL CHUPACABRA? 7) A Scientist builds a robot, who is possesed by the Aztec god Tlaloc, a bloodthristy diety, who, um.... thirsts for blood! Can our masked heroes stop THE VAMPIRE ROBOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Thanks, I was wondering what the hell they were talking about On a side note - on the weekend I played the Tijuana Deathmatch game by Cheapass - It was suprisingly good. http://www.cheapass.com/products/cardgames/cag041.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakSpade Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Don't forget the ever popular: An alien invasion hinges on the failure (or success) of a steel-cage match with an alien Luchadore...

st barbara Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Then of course there is the old classic "An ancient Aztec mummy is revived when archaeologists take the treasure from his tomb. Only the gallent Luchadores can save the surviving members of the expedition from the wrath of the Aztec Mummy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Hear is one. A mad scientist builds a time machien, and brings from the past the most vile villians ever and unleashes them agenst the pore Mexican people. It is up to the luchadories (our heros) to stop them in a series of impromptu wrestling matches, earn the secret location of the mad scientist's time machien, earn the use of the machien, and send all the rudos brought to our time back in time. Or, alturnity, a mad scientist sends our techanoe heros into the past as a way to clear the way for his own crime spree. Can the heros survive and get back home? And will thay bring home a new masked luchador named El Cavehombre ("The Cave Man")? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Mask of Truth and Mask of Deception? Sounds almost like the origin of a lucha libre hero and his archenemy to me, either way it's a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads My favorite is this (I ran this at a convention last year, it was hit): Teen Champions group has a mentor whose back story could include a relationship with the Mexican Wrestlers. The teenagers visit Mexico City and are given a training session in wrestling. This as very funny as the one of the characters did not really want to wrestle (against her personality) and she did everything possible to avoid it; very funny role playing. Then later at dinner they are to tag along with with the wrestlers to help fight werewolves in a small poor village. Then they could beat up on the werewolves. Good action and allowed for good roleplaying. I played the wrestlers as involved in a secret war vs. evil in Mexico and the TV wrestling is "day job"/cover story. The Church is involved in the fight also, so a hint at evil vs good; and a hidden war made it interesting to me and my players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a character I created Jesterette, a speedster who loves shinny things and creating minor trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pól Ruadh Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Unfortunately, as I understand it, the guys who manage El Santo's estate are extremely cautious about licensing due to some bad experiences early on, and if anything, Blue Demon's representatives are even moreso. For mine, I'd like to see a good range of luchadors and menaces across a wide variety of power levels and genres, but I'd also like to see a legacy of masked justice, skill and honour as well.

Pól Ruadh Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads yeah you might only be able to refer to them in the section covering the history of real world luche libre Certainly, that'd be fair use, you couldn't do something on Lucha Libre and not mention those guys... not to mention guys like Mil Mascaras, Doctor Wagner and Hurracan Ramirez, but writing them up as characters and using their likenesses and so forth might prove problematic. But yes, I'd like to see a fine array of Mad Scientists and their horrible Creations, Alien Invaders, Old-school movie monsters, Aztec Mummies, Nefarious Gangsters, Vampire Women, Evil Luchadors (hsss!) and Satanic Cults. I'd like to see a reflection of the fact that there are different types of Lucha movies, much like Ninja Hero differentiated between different types of Martial Arts movies. Essentially, Lucha movies have married the concept of the masked wrestling hero to so many different types of movies, from gangster-pummelling cliffhanger serials, through Universal-style monster films, to 50's Atomic Horror and Alien Invasion science fiction, Hammer Horror-style grand guignol, and 60's psychotropic variations on all of the above. One of the wonderful things about the Luchador Hero is that, because he is so very much out of place everywhere, he fits in almost anywhere. Luchadors work well in horror stories, in pulp adventure, two-fisted crime dramas, in science fiction, in superhero stuff, film noir detective, high camp comedy, kung-fu chop socky, way-out cartoon shenanigans, even social commentary. On a side note, I'm playing a superpowered luchador in a game at the moment, would anyone object to me posting a few pictures here? Or is there somewhere specially dedicated to art where I should be posting work like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pól Ruadh Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads Dude! There is always room for art! Well, in that case, allow me to introduce my current character, El Aguila Azul. He's a lucha libre hero in a four colour superhero campaign. He's a low-powered brick/martial artist combo. He's a second generation luchador/hero, and he's inherited his mentor's arch-nemesis, the diabolical El Brujo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
