Sound the trumpets, raise the banners, and grab your bows, friends!

Why We Fight: Direct Action playtest kit is now here! Technically the 1.2 version of the game, this will double as our quick-start game version once fully released.

Scroll below to download it and check it out!

Pretty much everything has had an overhaul, having been playtesting and adjusting the game through online and in-person playtests since the last version’s release in May. The core basis for the game and how the characters work all remains the same, but… you can read our full update post for a breakdown of all the key parts we’ve changed!

So what’re you waiting for!?

There’s a lot to discover in this update, whether you’ve only just found the game or played before, we’re certain you’ll find the update to be a… well, a game changer! If you haven’t already, go download it at the button below!

We’re not anticipating anything major to be changing with Direct Action after this stage, so future updates will be looking at the core Why We Fight book and its developments, along with our progress towards our BackerKit Crowdfunding campaign, which we aim to launch in March.

Next month, likely as a little new years gift, I’ll be releasing a solo playthrough video to showcase the game and how it all works, and then be looking to work on a demonstration video of the core game and the differences it has in playing it.

Want to experience it sooner? Come and join our monthly online playtests via our Discord server, or if you’d like to play with an established group, let us know and we can arrange a guided session!
