Project Update: The Mighty Mutants & Masterminds Map Pack #1 - PART 2! The Pacific Museum of Art!

The Mighty Mutants & Masterminds Map Pack #1 - PART 2! The Pacific Museum of Art!

For those who qualify for the Beat the Hump Incentive, you should have received your SECOND of five downloads for the Mighty Mutants & Masterminds Map Pack #1.


There is a download for the V13 version (using Ripoper93's Levels system) and the v14 version (using the new native Levels system) of Emerald City's own Pacific Museum of Art available to you via email from Backerkit or in your Digital Downloads on Backerkit. Make sure to check your email.

Also ensure to review the included Journal in the Compendium for all the ins and outs of the package complete with a level by level walk-through of the location.

The Pacific Museum of Art map set depicts a large, multi-level modern museum centered on a dramatic main gallery, the massive zigzagging Switchback ramp, side exhibition halls, and a loading area suitable for thefts, chases, and running battles. Its open spaces, glass walls, security gates, galleries, and valuable exhibits create plenty of opportunities for vertical movement, improvised cover, environmental hazards, and collateral damage. The set works especially well for superhero encounters where the heroes must balance stopping villains with protecting civilians, priceless artwork, and the museum itself. 

I have to warn you, this file is BIG so it will take extra time to download and use. Unless you know you are going to be using multiple levels in a combat, it is suggested that you use the individual level maps provided.

Thank you again for your patronage.

  • Default actions for Close Combat: Unarmed, Grab, and Ranged Combat: Thrown are now added when creating new Characters.
  • Added World Setting for GM to set Power Level for all starting characters, defaults to 10.. 

Notes
Removable Flaw, Rounding
The Removable Flaw specifically says to divide the cost of a Power after other Modifiers are taken into account and ROUND UP to provide the flat point discount for a Removable Flaw; HOWEVER, Herolab has always rounded to the NEAREST 5
We recognized the disparity and made our system accommodate the Rules As Written version (Thank you Cassie aka The Void Watching aka the friggin’ genius who wrote the Mastermind Maker for pointing this out.) 

SINCE, though, many of you LIKE rounding to the nearest and likely have many characters made in Herolab that work this way, we have included a GM Setting allowing you to change the rounding method and either use Round Up (RAW) or Nearest 5 (Herolab).

Update your Character from the Compendium
It’s important to update your character from the compendium to ensure you are working with the most recent versions of Powers, Power Effects, Modifiers, Advantages and more.

On the top right of your sheet, go to the three dots in the window header and click there, the drop down will show one of the selections is “Update from Compendium”.. Select that. You may exclude any item you wish to stay the same but, for right now, you’ll want it all updated. If you have your own version of a Power, Power Effect, Advantage or other, make sure you drag a copy to the Item directory for safe keeping if you modified the base version. Items on the character sheet should be safe. 

What’s Next!
  • Improvements to Variable 
  • Improvements to the Strength Array
  • Improvements to the Linked Power containers
  • The Measurement Calculator
  • Vehicle Sheets
  • HQ Sheets
  • Herolab Importer
  • Mastermind Maker Importer
  • Character Sheet Improvements for ease of use!
  • MUCH, MUCH MORE! :)

TO OUR BADASS BATTLIN’ BETA TESTERS!!!
Get in there and BREAK S#!T!
That’s what we need. 

Push the system and make sure you can do all the basics of the game as set forth in the Deluxe Hero’s Handbook.

As always, play with it but, we do have some specific tasks we would like you to try out, when you can:
  • Creating a Character from each Archetype from the Deluxe Hero’s Handbook and variations thereof. Was there a character type difficult to pull off?
  • Pick a set of powers from Power Profiles and do the whole set. Was anything Hard/impossible to make? 
  • Use each of the Power Frameworks. Were they easy to use? Were they intuitive to use? Why/Why not?
  • Use Actions out of Combat to ensure they execute what they are supposed to do.
  • Use Actions in a Combat to Test Action Use  to ensure they execute what they are supposed to do.
  • In Combat, make a Close and Ranged Damage attack from your Actions menu on the Combat Tab
    • Ensure Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes are all properly calculated
    • Make the Target’s Toughness Resistance check versus a successful Damage attack 
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated
    • Check what Damage will be applied
    • Ensure the Damage is applied properly to the character after hitting the apply button.
  • In Combat, make a Damage Area Attack from your Actions menu on the Combat Tab.
    • Place the template over the targets you wish to affect
    • Apply the Damage Area Attack
    • Make the Target’s Dodge Resistance check versus a successful attack 
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated (Half effect if successful, full effect if failed) before and after the roll.
    • Make the Target’s Toughness Resistance check versus a successful Damage attack 
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated
    • Check what Damage will be applied
    • Ensure the Damage is applied properly to the character after hitting the apply button.
  • In Combat, make a Close and Ranged Affliction Attack from your Actions menu on the Combat Tab.
    • Ensure Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes are all properly calculated
    • Make the Target’s appropriate Resistance check versus the successful attack Affliction effect
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated
    • Check what Conditions will be applied
    • Ensure the Conditions are applied properly to the character after hitting the Apply button.
  • In Combat, make an Affliction Area Attack Attack from your Actions menu on the Combat Tab.
    • Place the template over the targets you wish to affect
    • Apply the Affliction Area Attack
    • Make the Target’s Dodge Resistance check versus a successful attack 
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated (Half effect if successful, full effect if failed) before and after the roll.
    • Make the Target’s appropriate Resistance check versus the successful attack Affliction effect
    • Verify the Bonuses, Difficulty Class, and Successes  are all properly calculated
    • Check what Conditions will be applied
    • Ensure the Conditions are applied properly to the character after hitting the Apply button.
  • REALLY put the system through the paces. 

We will likely do one to three more Beta rounds, then it goes to the Early backers!

And as always, please keep your mind on how to make the system easier to use. We may not be able to implement all of your suggestions, but we can definitely see if we can. :)

Accessing Your Beta Manifest URL
You should have received an email from BackerKit containing the Manifest URL for the Mutants & Masterminds 3E Beta.

If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk folder. You should also be able to retrieve the Manifest URL by logging into your BackerKit account and opening your Digital Downloads.

Your Manifest URL provides access to the beta package. Please keep it private and do not post or share it publicly.

Before Installing
The beta currently supports Foundry VTT Version 13. Foundry VTT Version 14 is still under development and is not currently supported.
Make sure Version 13 is active before installing or using the beta.
Installing on a Self-Hosted Foundry Server
  1. Launch Foundry VTT and open the Setup screen.
  2. Confirm that you are running Foundry VTT Version 13. Version 14 is still under development and is not currently supported.
  3. Select the Game Systems tab.
  4. Click Install System.
  5. Copy the Mutants & Masterminds 3E Beta Manifest URL provided through BackerKit.
  6. Paste it into the Manifest URL field at the bottom of the installation window.
  7. Click Install and allow Foundry to download and install the system.
  8. After installation, create a new world and select the Mutants & Masterminds system from the Game System menu.

We recommend creating a dedicated test world rather than installing the beta into a world containing characters or campaign material you wish to preserve.

Installing Through The Forge
  1. Make sure Foundry VTT Version 13 is active for your Forge game. Version 14 is still under development and is not currently supported.
  2. Open The Forge and go to the Bazaar tab.
  3. Copy the Manifest URL for the Mutants & Masterminds 3E Beta from your BackerKit email or Digital Downloads.
  4. Click Install from Manifest in the upper-left corner of the Bazaar.
  5. Paste the link into the field labeled Enter the Manifest URL of the package to install.
  6. Make sure the Install from the Bazaar if the package is found toggle is turned off.
  7. Click Start to begin the installation.
  8. Once installation is complete, create or configure a Version 13 world using the Mutants & Masterminds system.

Do Not Create Permanent Characters Yet
We strongly recommend that you do not create characters you intend to keep or use in a future campaign nor start a game in a system currently in beta.
The system’s architecture may change during development. Fundamental character data, powers, items, or internal structures could be altered, requiring beta characters to be reworked or rebuilt. Test characters are encouraged, but leave your treasured heroes safely in their secret headquarters until the system is ready for release.

What We Need You to Test
Please begin with the system’s most common functions before exploring unusual combinations and edge cases:
  • Create character archetypes and variations.
  • Recreate a favorite character as a test.
  • Build powers by combining effects and modifiers.
  • Test power packages, arrays, variables, and other power containers.
  • Use the Hero Point Manager.
  • Use the Extra Effort Manager.
  • Perform actions outside combat.
  • Test action use and tracking through the Combat tab.
  • Make Damage and Affliction attacks.
  • Test area-effect Damage and Affliction attacks.
  • Drag and drop Minions and Sidekicks.
Reports will be prioritized according to their impact on normal system operation and the complexity of resolving them. Issues affecting common activities and many users will generally be addressed before rare edge cases.

Suggestions are both welcome and encouraged. We all share the same goal: making the Official Mutants & Masterminds System for Foundry VTT as useful, reliable, and enjoyable as possible.

Thank you again for joining us. Now let’s break a few things—so they work properly when the system is released!

Please reach out to me via email at [email protected] if you would like to report issues but do not wish to join the Discord server.

Please use the forum’s posted guidelines and appropriate tags when submitting feedback. Before reporting a problem, disable all optional modules and attempt to reproduce it again.
  • If the problem still occurs with every optional module disabled, report it as a Bug.
  • If it only occurs while another module is enabled, report it as a Module Conflict and include that module’s name and version.
  • If you have an idea for improving the system’s interface, layout, workflow, or functionality, submit it as a Suggestion.

News about The Official Mutants & Masterminds System for Foundry VTT

New Release Coming TOMORROW!

The next release will be coming out tomorrow, Thursday September 3rd, 2026, so keep your eyes peeled for an evening release.

We've addressed a number of items and Ethaks has been working hard on getting the code together. I'm compiling a list of notes on the Bugs fixed and Features Implemented as well as a forecast for some things we are getting together.

Thanks for joining us on this journey and we appreciate all the enthusiasm and energy you bring us. It fuels and and makes us look forward to the project.

v14 Implementation May Be Delayed

Looking at the road we have to hoe and one hard talk later, we are more and more seeing the need to finalize the v13 version before moving onto the v14 version. Right now we cannot say for sure we are going to miss the September 12th, 2026 target date but it is looking more and more like it. We are not 100% if there is going to be a set date but we will endeavor to kjeep you apprised of the situation.

The next map for the Mighty Mutants & Masterminds Map Pack- THE PACIFIC MUSEUM OF ART coming this weekend!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Putting the finishing touches on the Journal and some last minute graphics we have for the Museum and the next in the series should be out this weekend.

I am also thinking of going back and fleshing out the Journal for the Highrise if you guys appreciate the new way I did the Journal for the Museum!

It depends a lot on your feedback, so let me know if you like what ya see.

I would also like to say how much I appreciate Ana of A Day At maps for her diligent work and freindship. She ius a marvel and a wonder and such a great artist! Kudos to her!

That's all for now!

Once the new release is out tomorrow, please dig into the release once more and look for those bugs and corrections that need to be made and KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING! We appreciate you all. 🙂
