Hello, heroes!

First, once again: thank you so very much.

The Official Mutants & Masterminds System Module BackerKit campaign successfully funded at C$27,095, and because of your support, we also reached our first stretch goal.
 
That is a huge milestone for us, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who backed, shared, boosted, commented, asked questions, and helped get this project across the finish line.

Now that the campaign has ended, the next phase begins: production.

We wanted to give everyone an early look at what comes next, how we are organizing the work, and what you can expect from us as development continues.

The schedule below is our current working roadmap. As with any software project, some pieces may shift as testing reveals bugs, Foundry updates happen, or features need extra polish. That said, this is the path we are currently working from.

Current Focus

We are now working through the immediate post-campaign steps, including:

* Setting up and learning the BackerKit pledge manager
* Organizing backer information
* Preparing the official Discord channel
* Continuing development on the Beta version
* Reviewing stretch goal content and add-ons
* Finalizing production priorities

This is the housekeeping phase. Not flashy, but absolutely necessary. Somebody has to sort the Batcomputer files before the team can save the city.

The next major focus is continuing development on the OFFICIAL Mutants & Masterminds System Module itself.

Currently on the Path to Beta (Currently on Track for August 1st roll out):
Current remaining development branches merged into the main program

Beta Progress
- Equipment & Improved Cost Calculation - Done
- Actions system, Outcome system, Roll configuration system integration - 90% (Just lacking final testing)
- Modifiers (Extras and Flaws) Reconfiguration for New Outcome and Predicate system  - 0%
- Chat Message Dependency & Management with Actions system - 0%
- Initiative/Enter Combat Box Fix - 0%
Review and Integrate:
- Measurement Calculator - 0%
- Vehicle Character Sheets - 0%
- HQ Character Sheets  - 0%

The goal is to make sure the core module is stable, usable, and genuinely helpful at the table before additional content is layered on top.

After the beta reaches the appropriate stage, we will begin preparing access for backers according to pledge level and project readiness.

This stage will involve:

* Getting the beta into backer hands
* Collecting bug reports
* Reviewing usability feedback
* Making improvements based on testing
* Preparing updates and fixes
* Continuing toward the final release version

We want this to be useful, stable, and fun to use. Feedback will be an important part of that process.

Beta Testing  (Dates from August 1st to August 15th )

The final phase will focus on polish, cleanup, documentation, and delivery.

This includes:

* Final bug fixes
* Final feature review
* Add-on completion
* Documentation and setup guidance
* Preparing final release materials
* Making sure backers receive the content connected to their pledge levels

We will continue sharing updates as production moves forward so you know what is being worked on and where things stand.

Early Release (Target Date for Rollout August 27th)

Once the core beta work is moving smoothly, we will continue developing the promised add-ons and stretch goal content.

This includes work connected to:

* Extra automation improvements
* Supporting tools and quality-of-life features
* Additional content promised through the campaign

We will provide more specific details as each item moves from planning into active development.

The Official Mutants & Masterminds System Module BackerKit campaign is officially over, and thanks to all of you, we were successfully funded at C$27,095!

Not only did we fund, but we also achieved our first stretch goal.

That happened because of you.

To everyone who backed, shared, commented, boosted, encouraged us, asked questions, gave feedback, or helped spread the word: thank you so very much. We are deeply grateful for your support and your faith in this project.

Now the next phase begins.

We will be working on getting the BackerKit pledge manager figured out, setting up the Discord channel, continuing to code the beta version, and creating the promised add-ons and stretch goal content.

We also plan to have a production schedule posted within the next week, so everyone has a clearer idea of what is being worked on, when it is expected, and how the project will move forward from here.

This campaign was only the beginning. Now we get to do the real work: building the best version of Mutants & Masterminds on Foundry VTT that we can.

From all of us, sincerely and profusely:

You helped make this happen, and we cannot wait to show you what comes next.

We are down to the final 2 hours of the Official Mutants & Masterminds System Module BackerKit campaign!

This is it. The final countdown. The last chance to back, upgrade, or share the campaign before the clock runs out.

And before anything else, we want to say:

Thank you to everyone who backed the project.

Thank you to everyone who shared it.

Thank you to everyone who commented, boosted, encouraged us, asked questions, gave feedback, and helped spread the word.

Your support has meant the world to us.

Because of you, this project funded. Because of you, we have been able to push toward more features, more polish, more automation, and a better experience for everyone who wants to play Mutants & Masterminds on Foundry VTT.

There are only 2 hours left, so if you have been waiting, this is the moment.

Back it. Share it. Tell your gaming group. Fire up the signal beacon. Wake the sidekick. Politely bother your favorite GM.

From all of us: thank you so very much for helping make this project happen.

Let’s finish strong!

P.S.: This is the last notification I send to non-Backers as well. Sorry if it was a little pestersome. I appreciate your patience. I really do. :)

"What a long, strange trip it's been." - Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead

We are officially near the last 24 hours of the Official Mutants & Masterminds System Module BackerKit campaign!

Thanks to all of you, we are currently funded at C$25,930, which puts us at 130% of our goal. 

That is incredible, and we cannot thank you enough. Whether you backed the project, shared the campaign, told your friends, posted about it online, or simply cheered us on, you have helped make this happen.

But there is still time to push even farther.

There are more stretch goals on the horizon, including additional automation, new character sheet skins, character progression tools, roll simplification options, and dashboard features designed to make running and playing Mutants & Masterminds on Foundry VTT faster, smoother, and easier at the table.

These features are all about getting players and Gamemasters back to the good stuff: heroic action, dramatic choices, wild powers, dangerous villains, and the kind of comic book chaos we all came here for.

One quick note for our U.S. backers: the campaign is listed in Canadian dollars, so the pledge levels may be more affordable than they first appear. Approximate U.S. conversions are noted on the pledge graphics, and while exchange rates can shift slightly, the final cost may be lower than what you assumed at first glance.

With only 24 hours left, every pledge, upgrade, share, and signal boost helps us finish strong and bring the best version of the Official Mutants & Masterminds System Module to Foundry VTT.
