Four-Color Heroics Core Rulebook
Four-Color Heroics is a compact superhero roleplaying
game meant to emulate the comicbooks of yesteryear,
particularly the Golden Age. There’s nothing stopping
you from using it for other eras as well, however.
The game system is meant to be simple without sacrificing
nuance. You can learn the system quickly, generate
some characters and dive into a world in which
masked heroes in colorful tights fight the good fight
against diabolical supervillains, greedy mobsters and,
of course, Nazi menaces.
