Modules

L5R does not require a lot of modules and it is highly encourage you to start with a small number of them.

Some modules require others libraries/modules and you need to install the dependency modules for them to work. Nothing fancy, just accept when FoundryVTT prompts you to download or activate the dependencies.

The following is a list of recommended modules. Note that a module that is outdated isn't necessarily unusable; however, you may find integration/interaction errors with the more current versions of Foundry and generally Forge will not allow installations of modules that aren't verified for the installed version of Foundry if Game Management is enabled.
