The Alpha
needs fighters
Thrackdown is in Open Alpha, and we need more people playing games, trying different warbands and telling us what works and what doesn’t.
You do not need to be an experienced playtester. Download the rules, play a game, and send us your feedback. If you want to discuss the rules, share your warband or follow development, you can also join the Discord.
Pick your role in the ruins
Playtest the game
Grab the free rules, pick any miniatures you own and play a game. Loot & Scoot only needs four models a side. Afterwards, tell us what worked, what was unclear and anything that went wrong.
Play your first game → 02: TalkJoin the Discord
Join the Discord to share battle reports, ask rules questions, vote in community polls, see development previews and talk with other players and the people working on the game.
Join the Discord → 03: BuildShow your hobby
Share painted warbands, kitbashes, Juggernauts, terrain builds and Custom Factions. Thrackdown is miniature agnostic, so there is plenty of room to make your warband your own.
Share your work → 04: SpreadBring your group
The easiest way to help Thrackdown grow is to play it with someone else. Run a Quickstart game for a friend or bring it to your club, then share the rules or latest updates with anyone who wants to know more.
Share Thrackdown →Tell us the four things
Playtest reports help us work out what needs fixing, clarifying or expanding. You do not need to write an essay. After a game, there are four things we are especially interested in:
Rules that contradicted each other, combos that felt unstoppable, maths that didn't add up.
Anything you had to reread, discuss at the table or make a ruling for on the spot.
The moments the game slowed down, the turns that felt samey, the rules nobody ever used.
The moments that felt good, rules that clicked straight away, or anything everyone at the table wanted to do again.
Send it through the feedback form, or post in the Discord feedback channel, with the warbands you used, the scenario you played and anything that stood out. Feedback from the Open Alpha is used when reviewing rules for future updates.
What Players Are Building
Painted warbands, kitbashes, terrain and Custom Factions from the Thrackdown community. Share what you're working on in the Discord and we may feature it here.

You also asked to join the Muster List, so you'll get a second email from hello@thrackdown.com asking you to confirm. You are not subscribed until you click the link in it.
Your rules are on their way, but the Muster List sign-up didn't go through. You can join from any Muster List form on the site.
