This game system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop provides character sheet and game system support for the Adventurer Conqueror King System (ACKS).
## License
This Foundry VTT system requires ACKS Core Rules that you can find at http://autarch.co/buy-now.
This third party product is not affiliated with or approved by Autarch.
This system provides mechanics and character sheet support, and features a compendium for Monsters, Items, Spells, Abilities, and more, all to make the judge's job easier for running ACKS games. ACKS, like most B/X clones, is also broadly compatible with thousands of modules and other OSR content and rulesets with a minimum of conversion necessary.
