C4 Version 4.0.

With this book you will be able to play in any scenario that your imagination
allows! With its extremely simple and flexible rules, the C4 lets you quickly
assemble characters, monsters, and settings. You will only need one die,
paper and a group of friends.

What is RPG?

RPG is an acronym meaning “Role Playing Game”. Briefly it’s a game
where each player creates his character and interacts with each other. In ad-
dition to encouraging creativity, RPG is a cooperative game where everyone
must help each other to achieve great goals. Encouraging teamwork and
socialization.

Game System
There are many RPGs on the market and they are separated by “sys-
tems”. Each RPG system is a set of rules to help players understand what
is happening around them and what will be the outcome of their actions.
Most RPG systems use dice to determine these random events. There are
even systems that use cards. The C4 system uses common 6-sided die to
facilitate (also known as “d6”).

 Scenario

Another important concept to understand is the “scenario”. Scenar-

io is the game world and theme to be approached by the history of the
game. It is possible to play in varied scenarios such as anime, comics,
movies and books. Or even a scenario created by the players them-
selves. The first RPG system, D&D, was created from tabletop warga-
mes and uses the medieval fantasy scenario (“Sword and Sorcery”).
The C4 is a generic system and can be adapted to any scenario.

Game Master
The first thing to understand is the role of each player in the game. In
every RPG there is a player called Game Master (also called a Narrator or
just a “GM”). The GM is the one who tells the story and commands all char-
acters that are not controlled by the players (Non Player Character = NPC).
The GM also commands the villains of the story, but he is not the opponent
of the players. The main goal of the GM is to create
good challenges and fun for the others. Nothing
prevents you from making a difficult fight against
your villains. Just be aware not to make it
impossible to overcome. The best re-
ward for a GM is to hear from his
players: “The adventure was awe-
some! When are we going to play
again?”
