Welcome to the FAQ on the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition System for Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

Please note that this covers very specific system questions. If what you are looking for is in any way related to general Foundry questions, such as hosting, purchasing, basic operations, please see The Foundry Knowledge Base

What is the difference between Foundry and this WFRP system?

Foundry is a Virtual Tabletop software that can support playing roleplaying games online. These games can be played by installing packages known as systems. These systems can come with various features, such as character sheets, premade actors or items, and specialized functions to make playing the game easier. This WFRP4e system comes with many such features, and this FAQ only covers questions related to this system and those features. If you have questions related to the core Foundry software, please go to the Official Foundry FAQ

How to install WFRP4e system ?

You can install the system by clicking the "Install System" button in the main menu of Foundry. Find Warhammer Fantasy 4th Edition, and click install. If for some reason this doesn't work, please follow the instructions provided in the README

How does it work? What does it do?

Do I have to pay for this system?

Provided you have purchased the Foundry license, the system itself is free, however it does not include prebuilt content such as weapons, spells, talents, etc. and other features such as the Character Creator will not work. These are provided by the various premium modules available to purchase at Cubicle 7's Webstore. See the Premium Content knowledge base article for how to install it.
