Status of Set 8
Currently, Anachronism and TriKing have entered a bit of a rough patch, financially. It has been the better part of a year since Set 7's release, and there is no timetable for Set 8. Michael Brown of TriKing has mentioned that plans are in place to relaunch Anachronism, with a stronger business model. What this "Anachronism 2.0" might signify for existing sets is unknown. The common perception is that Set 8 will not see the light of day -- at the very least, not in its current form.
Despite its status, Set 8 is being released pack-by-pack on the Anachronism forums. The game's lead developer, Steve McLaughlin (a.k.a. "Shteevie"), is the one releasing the card texts and sanctioning them for tournament use. In addition to the packs, he has so far spoiled a few promos from the unprinted Set 8. Starting in October 2007, these promos are meant to be printed out by Mercenaries/TOs, signed & numbered, and given out like normal tournament promos.
