You are a técnico, a wrestler who fights for the common folk. As an honorable luchador, you wear an iconic mask and fight evil wherever it arises. It is your sworn duty to oppose any rudo who serves evil causes. As a luchador you're equal parts wrestler and superhero. Sometimes you wrestle rudos in the ring; sometimes you wrestle vampires in Hell or aliens in outer space. How? That mask you wear es mágica. It gives you special powers and lets you see beyond El Mundo Viviente, the world we live in, to perceive El Mundo Espiritual - the world of spirits, monsters, and gods.

What's So Cool About Lucha Libre? is a rules-lite RPG for 1 GM and 1 or more players. It's a Borderpunk game, which means it blends Mexican-American culture and media with themes of social justice and political activism. Don the mask of a superheroic wrestler and prepare to fight for justice and oppose evil wherever it arises.

This game adds some new things to the What's So Cool About...? framework, including rules for different tiers of enemies (Minions, Enforcers, and Bosses), el SUPER ATAQUE and the EN FUEGO condition. Become EN FUEGO by pushing the story forward and taking heroic actions; when you're charged up, unleash your superpowers to take narrative control and do amazing things without having to roll dice!

Touchstones:

• Lucha Underground
• Guacamelee
• The films of El Santo
• Streets of Rage
