Mystical masked wrestlers are cool, and I love the Heat mechanic.
spell casting undead luchadors, what more do you want?
Cutting an inspiring promo (in character, with appropriate RP) might work as an alternative healing mechanic, in addition to the extended rest.
This is awesome feedback and I appreciate the detail!
I’m aiming for something a bit more generic than purely Mexican wrestling for a couple of reasons — there’s a hint towards this in the name Puroresia, which is of course a nod towards Japanese wrestling. The title cuts against this, obviously. I think the right answer for me is to play up the lucha/puro connection, which is a great candidate for background expansion.
I won’t have time to revise before judging but I expect to do another pass on this anyhow. For example, I have a chunk of random tables built to shed more light on the world.
I really like the idea of getting promo skills in there somehow but I feel that those cross between wrestling types: plenty of high flyers who can deliver a good promo.
I’m definitely going to use the idea of a promo as a healing mechanic. That’s perfect.
The phrasing on the belt is terrible and I think I can fix that tonight. I knew it was clumsy and gave up and I appreciate you calling it out. My intent was what you said.
Rated! Hope you'll do the same, as honestly as possible.
But of course, and thank you!
