Supposing someone combined Baron Münchhausen with Zorro or even Scarlet Pimpernel, would that be awesome?
I'm thinking masked adventurers from around 1780 to 1810 (Pimpernel - Zorro).
Then dropping in associates with "extraordinary abilities" and aliens from like the moon and supernatural occurrences.
Has it been done?
Is it wrong? I mean Zorro is basically Batman. If we give him super amigos, are we awesome, or tacky?
And, should real historical people play a part in a campaign? For example, if La Femme Incroyable, an immortal warrior woman from L'ile d'amazones aids the Scarlet Pimpernel, would it be cool for Mary Wollstonecraft to interact with the PCs?
Am I missing something about Zorro, the Scarlet Pimpernel or Baron Münchhausen that would make this idea awesome, or more awesome?
