Creating a Party
WFRP Master stores all the data in the cloud, so you can access your content on all your devices (when you sign in using Google). This also allows you to share content with your players. In this guide we'll take a look at the basic steps you need to do to fully benefit from the app in your games.
Party is the main building block. All you Player Characters, NPCs, Encounters etc live inside the Parties. Think of the Party as your Campaign.
When you create the Party, you become the Game Master (GM) and you are sent to the GM screen. From here you can manage all your Party-related content.
There are now a few extra steps that will make your life easier:
- Importing Compendium from PDF
- Inviting Players
Since many Characters may have the same set of Skills, Talents, etc. it's useful to define these items just once per Party. This is exactly what Compendium is for. The Compendium is a list of all the Skills, Talents, Spells, Blessings, Miracles, and Traits that you are using in your games. To save you time, you can import them from the Official WFRP Rulebook PDF. Apart from the imported items, you can create custom homebrew items or change anything imported from the Rulebook.
You can import the Rulebook Compendium by clicking the Compendium button in World tab on the GM Screen and then clicking Import from Rulebook in the top right corner actions under the three-dot menu. When you pick the PDF file, you can choose which items you want to import.

You can invite the players by clicking Invite in the Players card on the GM Screen. Any user invited this way becomes the Player - they cannot see other players, your Encounters or NPCs. All they can do is create a Character (or several if they need to). GM has full access to these characters the same way Players do.
There are generally two Invitation methods:
You can let the players scan the QR code (either via their phone's QR scanner app, or via WFRP Master itself by clicking + button on Parties screen) and they can immediately join the Party.
You can share the Invitation as a link, that can be opened on Player's device. When they open the link in the browser, they are redirected to the app and can immediately join the Party.
