This wiki and the system it is documenting are both works in progress. Logins to the wiki are currently restricted, but may be opened up in the future for commenting and assistance.

SR5 Foundry System Features

Modules

While Foundry has a vast module ecosystem, there are a few specific modules that enhance capabilities already available within the SR5 system.

Learn more about the Shadowrun Fifth Edition system implementation for Foundry Virtual Table Top and its features:

Manage characters and gear with Actor sheets, Item sheets, and Active Effects.
Manage vehicles, spirits, critters and sprites with other specialized Actor sheets.
Speed up the game with automated Testing and Rolls.
Simplify encounters with Combat tracking and Workflow features.
Quickly import characters into Foundry with the Chummer Character Importer.
Bulk import basic item frameworks using the Chummer XML Importer.
Add preconfigured Actions to the character sheet to simplify tests that come up frequently.
Keybinds to quickly access system-specific user interface elements.

There are multiple ways of helping to improve the SR5 Foundry VTT system that don't include JavaScript development! No matter how you contribute, all changes and improvements made will be attributed to the community members involved. After all, there are no cyberpunk dystopic megacorporations involved in this project.

One of the easiest and most direct ways is to help out other users of the system via the #shadowrun-5e channel on the Foundry Virtual Tabletop Community Discord server.

Issues/Enhancements

Discussing issues and enhancements via Discord is a valid way to help improve the system, yet as soon as the dicussion gets concrete it's more efficient to file an issue on SR5-FoundryVTT GitHub's Issue Tracker. This allows for better tracking and assignment of problems and todos. Before creating a new issue, please search the tracker to see if there is an existing entry that you can comment on instead.

Content

While they system cannot include a complete set of content (like weapons, armor, or gear) due to licensing considerations, there is the possibility for original content to be included with the system. There are also users in the Foundry VTT Discord that can provide guidance on self-publishing material in a Foundry-compatible format.

Translations

There have been amazing community efforts regarding translating the system. All availalble translations are included within the system's installation and can be found in /systems/shadowrun5e/dist/locale inside the server's User Data. Should you want to improve an existing translation you can edit the .json file, test your changes, and provide them with a GitHub issue. In case you want to directly include them with a GitHub pull request, reach out on the Discord for proper instructions.

Please be careful when updating the system with changes made to files, as a system update will overwrite all changes made!

Development

If you're interested in contributing to the JavaScript development, check the README-DEV.md in the GitHub repository for a quick guide to SR5 system developement.
