Index Card RPG System for Foundry VTT
Foundry Virtual Tabletop (Foundry VTT) is a standalone application built for experiencing multiplayer tabletop RPGs using a feature-rich and modern self-hosted application where your players connect directly through the browser.
Index Card RPG (ICRPG) by Runehammer Games takes classic tabletop mechanics for telling stories, making monsters and rolling dice, but throws out all the clunky parts that keep most folks from trying an adventure or two.
This Game System for Foundry VTT to allow easy creation and management of ICRPG player characters, NPCs and items.
Foundry VTT users now have no excuses anymore to not be playing ICRPG!
Features
To highlight some of its features that might not be obvious at first glance:
- Character sheet attributes are roll-able to the chat window by clicking the Stats, Effort, Dying, Revive labels in the Attributes tab, or the Loot label in the Gear tab. If applicable, any modifiers are automatically applied to the roll.
- The character sheet allows adding new items without having to first create them as stand-alone ones, by clicking the plus icon.
- Any owned item’s equipped state is easily toggled using the star icon from the item list itself — no need to open the item window to change it.
- An excerpt of the item’s description gets displayed underneath each item name in the item list. Click the item’s name to open the item window and read the full description.
Items currently do not support attributes to be automatically added to the loot values of the character sheet. This is something users have to track themselves for now.
The following languages are currently supported: English, Spanish, German and Dutch. Reach out if you feel like contributing!

Attribution
Many thanks to Brandish Gilhelm (also known as Hankerin Ferinale) of Runehammer Games for designing Index Card RPG! I acquired his permission to make this game system available to the Foundry VTT community as-is, without including any source material content such as item loot tables as compendia.
Thanks to Diego Martinez for the Spanish localization!

Release version 1.0.1 is now available. Highlights include added Spanish, German and Dutch localization and a major bug fix related to toggling the Hero Coin when multiple character sheets are open.
Thank you for making this, I’m having an issue getting it to install. I clicked on “add-on modules>install modules>pasted the link into the Manifest url” and I keep getting this error “Invalid manifest name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TomCosaert/FoundryVTT-ICRPG/master/system.json for package module type” am I doing something incorrectly?
Nvm figured it out, for anybody else who runs into this issue in the future it’s a “Game System” not a “Add on Module”. I was getting modules messed up with Fantasy Grounds Modules lol
Indeed, game systems and modules are two different things in Foundry VTT, and this is a game system. Glad you figured it out!
Release version 1.1.0 is now available. The new ICRPG Quickstart 2E character sheet is now the new default:
– added Gun Effort (d8) and changed the Magic Effort die to d10
– changed the Dying die to d4
– Defense is now CON+Loot and is roll-able
– Mastery can now be tracked
– Bio-Form is now called Life Form
– Class is now called Type
The classic sheets for characters and NPCs are still available. Simply change your default by clicking the ⚙️ Sheet item in the title bar of a character/NPC sheet to change your default.
When upgrading character sheets, talk to your GM about how to handle any previously assigned Base value to Armor. This value is now hidden, but still kept for compatibility reasons, allowing you to revert back to the classic sheet without any issues, i.e.
No changes were made to support Abilities, Powers and Augments yet, as these can still be managed using Loot entries.
Release version 1.2.0 is now available. Abilities are now added as a separate type of item and item filters now allow viewing only equipped (⭐) items, unequipped items, or both.
Release version 1.2.1 is out now. No big changes. Confirming Foundry VTT core version 0.7.9 compatibility.
Version 1.2.2 fixes the Effort rolls in 1E actor sheets. Thanks to GitHub user victoriussinger for the pull request.
Hey Tom! Thx for fixing that problem.
Could you also add the Abilities Tab to the 1E sheet? That would amazing.
Keep up the nice work,
cheers!
Hey Frey, thanks for your comment.
As far as I know, “character abilities” are a Quickstart 2nd Edition feature, so it doesn’t apply to the original sheets. However, you can change your current character sheet to the QS2E version using the sheet settings on top to get this added functionality. For details, see release notes: https://github.com/TomCosaert/FoundryVTT-ICRPG/releases/tag/1.1.0
Release version 1.2.3 is now compatible with Foundry VTT core version 0.8.6.
