  • Great use of flavor! Though I guess it helps that I'm partial to pro wrestling and urban fantasy (and somewhat familiar with Mexican folklore). 
  • I especially like using Heat as an mechanical, intangible phylactery, given the significance of memory and hero worship in Mesoamerican lore.
  •  Interesting choice not to use mic/promo skills as the equivalent of the Erudite stat, given the significance of charisma/personality in Mexican folklore.

    Cutting an inspiring promo (in character, with appropriate RP) might work as an alternative healing mechanic, in addition to the extended rest.
  • The phrasing for the Belt example is kinda weird ("belt for Bruisers"). Based on my understanding of the Tunnel Goons rules, the Legacy should add to the Action Roll regardless of which technique you're using. For example, an Extremos/Hardcore Belt should add to any roll for fighting dirty or using the environment:
    • La Hija de la Bestia using Bruiser for tossing enemies into walls, Braun Strowman style 
    • El Mono Jr. using High-Flyer to moonsault off a ledge 
    • Muchas Caras using Technician to lock an opponent into a submission while driving their face into a barb-wire fence
  • Consider a section describing enemy threats to give a clearer idea about who the White Guardians are. I get the basic idea, but the main concern with a "faceless, totalitarian regime" is that they might not be very fun adversaries --especially compared to colorful rudos. If you flesh out how the villains "stifle creativity and joy", that might be useful.

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!
