Getting Started

Install​

You'll need a licensed copy of Foundry Virtual Tabletop. In Foundry's system installation dialog, paste this manifest URL:

https://github.com/devdrawdiy/sr3e/releases/latest/download/system.json

Create a new World using the sr3e system, launch it, and you're in.

Your first character​

Open the Actors sidebar tab and create a new Actor of type Character. sr3e intercepts the normal creation flow and opens its own character creation dialog instead of an empty sheet — pick a metatype, assign priorities, and spend your starting points there. When you're done, your character sheet opens fully populated and ready to play.

Your first roll​

Character sheets carry a roll composer in the header — use it to build and send a dice-pool roll (attribute, skill, or a weapon's attack) straight to chat. Combat and contested actions (melee, firearms, spellcasting, resistance tests) walk both sides through the roll automatically once the first roll is made.

In-game help​

Press F1 at any time in Foundry to open sr3e's built-in player guide — a quick reference you can pull up mid-session without leaving the table.

Where to go next​

This page intentionally stops at "you're playing." Deeper walkthroughs of individual rules and procedures (attack resolution, dodging, resistance tests) are planned for a future documentation pass — for now, the F1 guide and the system's tooltips/dialogs are the best in-the-moment reference.
