This is like asking "Is Burkina Faso a real place?" We have seen images of Burkina Faso, we know it has people who live there and probably some food to eat too. Burkina Faso probably also has a few rules, or "laws" as they may be known. However, we haven't actually been to Burkina Faso and don't plan on ever going, so can't and won't actually validate, ourselves, that it really is a real place.

The same goes for The Eightpints - we have images of it and some of its denizens, and know it has food because it has a pub and all pubs serve food.

Are we saying that The Eightpints is as real as Burkina Faso? No, because we were telling porky pies when we said we have seen images of Burkina Faso: we haven't, we've only seen the country's name written down somewhere and think it sounds fancy.

The Eightpints is still in development, and will be ready to be released and played "soon". Sign up to our mailing list and we will inform you on new developments towards the release. Browse our website and enjoy reading about The Eightpints and every dimension it offers to tantalize the "little grey cells".

The Eightpints is skirmish (player vs player warband battles) and campaign (singleplayer vs Beasts or multiple players vs Beasts). The idea is to form and lead a warband to victories against other warbands and also non-warband foes such as beasts and Perpetuals. Levelling up as you do so, learning new skills, acquiring new loot.

The idea is to create a game that is easy to pick up and learn (basic rules) but massively deep, broad and rewarding (advanced rules) for players (like us) who have no self control and prioritise Questing and Skirmishing above their own physical wellbeing and "never want it to end". But still take a shower out of self-respect.

This question may lead to actually being "where and when can I buy the miniatures?". There isn't an answer to this, other than there are a HUGE array of fabulous miniature developers / manufacturers out there and if you buy a few choice sets from a bunch of different ones (at 28mm scale) and go at them like a Surgeon on the battlefield, you will create for yourself some fabulous and unique miniatures that will be the envy of your local gaming group.

A warband is a pretty varied act - a grouping of a range of individuals whose individual "Venn diagrams of purpose" align sufficiently often enough for them to all be considered a grouping of aligned nuisances for the local aggro fauna and flora, when they talk to each other when the warband is back at the pub, "resting".

Create your own unique warband and be the most legendary Warband in the whole of The Eightpints! For now, The Eightpints is Lore, Rules and some visually exciting stuff that you need to send to a printer if you want a permanent copy of in the Real World.

Play it (when we release it) and tell your nan how much fun you had. Also all of her friends.
