This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[4C System] What do you want to see?

Actually, what do you want to see in an Expanded version of the 4C System? I'm starting work on a revised version of the 4C System rules, and want to know what most folks would like to see improved or added.

I'm already adding some new/optional skill rules, but I'm chewing over some ideas I've gotten from others about my method of leveling. There will be rules for constructing things, and gobs more powers/special abilities. The project will be aimed to take 4C beyond just a supers retro-clone, as I feel the system is easily adaptable to practically every other genre out there.

So, tell me what you want to see in 4C Expanded!

Not exactly. The other forum didn't appear to be seeing as much traffic, so I thought I'd pose the question in the Roleplaying Games forum. If it's a problem, I'll nix it now.

So - Is this thread just an indirect Ad for a game that you made? (That I've never heard of until now).


Just wondering.

No. It's a thread about supporting a retro-clone (of the Original Marvel Superheroes RPG), by expanding and improving it.

Mind you, he could have asked to move the original thread..I think...as well.

Not that I've made, but one I am trying to develop. If you don't know about the 4C System, it is a retro-clone of the old Marvel Superheroes FASERIP system from TSR back in the 80s. The current document is a bit lacking, and I want to beef it up.

Yeah, I suppose I should have done that instead of starting something new. Sorry again.
