I'm preparing a French version of the 4C System, the earlier "retroclone" of the FASERIP system.

Almost the same as the original English version, except I'm adding a few houserules, characters, advice and short adventures.

The print version will be available on lulu, probably in June 2018 : [www.lulu.com]

Latest WIP version has been published 10 days ago, by the way, if someone wants to have a look : [drive.google.com]

Too bad French is beyond my current abilities.

Here are the rules I'm adding to the 4C System :

- re-introduce the opposition system from the Advanced & Basic rules
- power limitations / bonuses
- expand some tables (speed, weight) up to cosmic levels
- possibility to try special effects at half power level (fly thanks to telekinesis, etc.)

Some houserules for magic :
- cumulating spells = roll Magic (or Willpower) each time a new spell is cast = black/red/blue/yellow = max 1 spell, max 2 spells, max 3 spells, max 4 spells. Spells fizzle when too numerous. Possibility to cast half spells.
- making a spell permanent = roll Magic (or Willpower) = black/red/blue/yellow = spell goes rogue, nothing changes, spell permanent for the game session, spell permanent if 500 Fortune spent

Some precisions for powers & other rules :
- mental shield : also effective against telepathy, etc. (not only against mental control)
- phasing : only works if the power stronger than material
- armor does not protect against energy attacks (unless a bonus)
- falling damage = 10 / 10 feet, possibility of "dodging"
- a very simplified rule for grievous wounds : if a character loses Fortitude, she regains them after a few hoursat the hospital, but until the end of the adventure her Health is limited to her Fortitude
- characters recover their Fortune between adventures, only if it's lowered below the basic level (Intellect+Awareness+Willpower)
- etc

If I ever go back to do another 4C adaptation I will definitely restore the dice roll protocol to FASERIP normal, ie 00 good 01 bad. Having 00 as a roll of zero is just wrong on so many levels. No idea why the original 4C messed with perfection like that but it steams my dimsims every time I see it.

You 4C Francais looks absolutely beautiful, lovely work!

I guess the 00-99 thing is about making the game as different-looking as possible from the original, while remaining statistically identical...

I'm getting used to it, it's not than distracting (IMHO).

I'm working on a conversion document between MSH and the 4C System.

It's in French, I may translate it into English someday...
