First Post, Test Post!

This is the first post of the Four Color Studios blog. Check our web site for a complete list of products and where you can acquire them is here.  

My goal with this site is to create a one-stop shop for announcements around projects I am working on, or sessions of my games I am running. I am also intending to cover hobby projects related to my games, including painting, terrain building, and products (minis, terrain, paints, etc.) I have bought or intend to buy for the hobby. 

I may occasionally also cover comic books on this site as well. We'll see! 

I will start things off with the covers to my next game, Villain Mission Force, due out in late February or early March 2025!

    Looking forward to more content for your 2d6 system line! Also grateful you're still keeping us co-op and solo folks in mind. 2d6 seems to be a nice fit thematically for low-level supers -- do you think it will hold up for bronze/silver era supers?

      I think it's pretty robust and will scale up Ok. Not to the degree of SSG, but I still think you can do a lot. I intend to run it this spring as a full-on RPG at my home table. I will surely blog about that too!

    Yes! Awesome! Much as I like Jay Piscopo's style, Rich's art suit comic book style better.

      Both are great artists, but Rich channels the 1980s better than anyone I have worked with.

The Return of SuperFigs?

Image
 Well, maybe. The last year or so I have been quietly working with a talented digital sculptor who approached me about redesigning the SuperFigs line as STL files. It's been 24 years since the release of the first SuperFigs, and I just can't believe it.  So he has been slowly beavering away at figures who strike his fancy. And I am content to let the process play out and see where it goes. There's no deadline. No release date. No pressure.  But Eric did send me some test prints last month, and I finally got around to painting them up. Last year I had also gotten a batch and painted them, and I might have shared them on my FB group, but I don't remember. Anyway, these two are very nice and I am happy to show them off here now.  We have Zoya and Tenpin, along with some rebased Heroclix for scale.  Painted with a combo of Speed Paint and Fanatic paints. I really love the detail Eric achieves, and the posing is lovely.  Zoya is meant to be about 7' tall, so yo...

Villain Mission Force Unleashed!

Image
Villain Mission Force: Solo / Co-Op Anti-Heroic Skirmish RPG  is now available in PDF! Get it here ! Here's the key info:  From nobody to nemesis?  Villain Mission Force (VMF) allows players to run a small team of low-level supervillains through a gauntlet of challenges that will make or break their villainous reps. Utilizing easy 2D6 mechanics, VMF’s multiple play modes include solo, co-op, PvP, or RPG. VMF offers rules for character origins and backgrounds, a versatile power system for varied character design, and a campaign system that will carry them from third-stringers to major threats. VMF also provides dozens of write-ups for foes that you can run using flexible, archetype-based mechanics. All you need to play are some figures from any manufacturer, a tape measure marked in inches, a handful of six-sided dice, around ten numbered chits or cards, and a suitable play area. Are you ready to build your team and join the infamous ranks of the VMF? Villainy awaits! Ch...

Yeah, I make a lot of super games...

     Artwork by Jan Annarella.  I make a lot of super games because I love the genre and I love tinkering with different mechanics and dice systems.  I figure that if you also like super games, one of my rule sets might be for you! That's why a couple of years ago I published the FCS Guide to Super Gaming . It's a list of all of the currently available supers games I make, along with brief write-ups and complexity ratings about them.  I've just updated it to include the imminently available VMF game, but I also wanted to share the text here because I think these sorts of "insider" tidbits might prove interesting to folks who like my games.  I'll also include the entry for SSG that comes right before it in the document for context and comparison:  Super Skirmish Gaming Core System: 3D6 (roll-over) Complexity: 6 of 10 Published in 2022, Super Skirmish Gaming (SSG) synthesizes years of superhero gaming experience into one slick book that offers easy ...
