The time is nigh; the era of the Alpha Playtest draws near!

  • 100+ pages of rules, moves, mechanics and guidance
  • 5 core Classes—with many more coming later
  • A Group Playbook with its own Moves, Resources, and Advancement
  • A pre-written Adventure Playbook: "The Stolen Children"
  • GM guidance on preparing Scenes, Locations, NPCs, Threats, and Dungeons

When Does It Release?

The Alpha Playtest will arrive on Wednesday, July 23rd. This might be delayed by a day or two if something comes up.

How Do I Get It?

Those who signed up to this contribution form and selected Playtesting will receive an email containing a link to the Alpha.

We aren't quite ready to start shouting out the link ourselves, that will probably come in the Beta, but you are free to share the link with others.

What Does It Come With?

A whole lot of complementary materials, including:

  • The Online Alpha Playtest Document, which includes all the rules and explanations, and will receive regular updates as feedback is received. The Classes in this version of the Alpha are The Bard, The Cleric, The Fighter, The Rogue, and The Wizard. More Classes will be added in later updates.
  • The DW2 Summer 2025
