Well' date=' in [i']that [/i]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!

Sweet!

Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads

 

I'll add a couple (based on the two Lucha related movies I own, Wrestlemaniac and Enter...Zombie King aka Zombie Beach Party).

 

1. The characters are traveling and decide to take a short cut. There vehicle breaks down (or rather is sabatoged). The luchador's are being stalked by El Mascarado, a genetically bred luchador that was two vicious for the ring. This plot works best if you add a mad scientist (perhaps a surviving member of the group that created El Mascarado) and some victims/normals to save (perhaps someone else who's happened to take the same shortcut when their van broke down).

 

2. An outcast luchador is wrestling zombies in back alley matches. Suddenly cannabilistic attacks begin to occur. The luchador says his zombies are "tame" and didn't cause the killings. Can the heroes trust him?

My bad, I guess I should have re-read the plot seeds in the book before the book. Won't happen again.

You're lucky to own Enter....Zombie King though. I'd be very happy if I could find that on DVD.

I got my copy on Amazon a few years ago. It's even cheaper now.

 

The lucha libre section of the All Flesh Must Be Eaten supplement, Zombie Smackdown, has a pretty cool sounding campaign. The luchador champion, Muerte, is a descendant of a dark Aztec cult that wants to liberate Mexico. He lures/kidnaps luchadores, perform a special heart-stealing ritual with his fellow cultists, and turns the luchadors into zombies. These fast/smart zombies can create mindless classic zombies.

 

The Japanese harcore wrestling campaign (involving a demon trapped by priests) could work in a lucha libre game too. Heck, that book is full of hooks for a lucha libre games.

Re: Lucha Libre Hero Plot Threads

 

My favourite part of the Lucha Libre scenario in 'Zombie Smackdown' is that the villains are the main technico in the federation and his cronies, and the PC's portray the fed's rudos.

So not only do the heroes have to convince people that one of the wrestlers is actually an evil sorcerer, but that a beloved babyface is an evil sorcerer... and they'll be doing it wearing the masks of the federations most hated heels.

The one from 'Zombie Smackdown'?

Not sure, the writers are credited as 'The New Gamers' Order', and there are about half a dozen of them. Not sure which one came up with the lucha libre scenario.
