I forked this project to fix a few bugs, work on a more visually appealing character sheet and update things for new versions of foundry (v14 and future versions).
I implemented a few "quality of life" fixes and changes on things that made using the original system a little annoying.
I'm offering limited support as this is mostly done for my own play group. As long as we play it, I'll keep it updated. Afterwards I'm not promising anything.
If someone is interested in this code, you can take it as-is, no guarantee given, with the same liberal licence the original author provided.
If you're interested in changing it further, you're free to do so. If you're interested in a collab with me on this, write me and let's talk about it.
In foundryvtt, go to Game System section and click on "Install System"
In the popup window, once the list of available packages is fully loaded, use the following link in the "Manifest URL" line at the end and click "Install":

Why not using one of the other forks? Why making one of your own?
Because almost no other existing fork was making any meaningful changes at that time, they just forked the code and let it sit there.

There are words in english in the other translations, is it normal?
Unfortunately I don't speak Russian, Ukranian or (for the most part) Spanish. That means that their language files have been left behind when I updated English and French. There is not much I can do at the moment but I welcome any contribution if you wish to make corrections.
As of the end of December, 2025 this repository is no longer supported. There will be no new releases and no requests for bug fixes or enchancements will be handled. I'm leaving the repository up and available in case someone else wishes to continue to provide it but, given Foundry's propensity for making breaking changes between releases, this will quickly become non-viable.
This repository contains an unofficial implemementation of The Black Sword Hack for the FoundryVTT.
This work is totally free to use and comes with a very liberal license.
