Welcome on this FAQ made for the WFRP-4e Foundry 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.
