What is it about?
Four Color/4C originated with Phil Reed in 2007. The reviewed 2012 Libre Edition by Chris Sakkas preserves the public-domain rules and Weapons & Gear while removing protected original material; it is a toolkit for building games.

At the table
Create origins, ranked traits, skills and powers. Roll percentile dice from 00 to 99, treating 00 as zero, and cross-reference the trait rank on the Master Table. Black, red, blue and yellow results determine the outcome.
