Yes, great idea. Larger communities are going to fare better in the long run, regardless of what happens to hobby itself.

There's a map feature on the 9th Age website that lets you find local players. Not everyone has put their location on it, but it's worth a shot.

@Frogboy: If you are looking for a demigod that may one day have rules, similar to Orion in the old books, look to Cadaron. He is the Forest King, after all. He also may be other things, but we leave you to draw your own conclusions on that front.

The old special characters are, sadly, dead and gone, due to the aforementioned IP issues. However, the Rules Team aims to have rules you can use to represent any model you would have fielded before, including the character models. We at the Background & Art Team will be pushing for new special ...

I think multiple forums is a grand idea, along with an additional subforum for Other Games, which could include anything wood elfy in any wargame, rpg or other such out there that isn't quite so popular.

The best thing to do is post on the 9A forum- either in the shoutbox, or here . You're get a much faster answer there than here. I'm not all there with the rules, as my attention is firmly focussed on the fluff writing, but plenty of people are using the rules and heavily engaged in making them work...

The question wasn't "do I need an undercoat", but "should I spray it or paint it?" I've had success with both painting on an undercoat, and spraying. It depends entirely on personal preference. If you are short on time, pray will be quicker, but it also requires a place to spray,...

All fluff for 9A is completely new. The primary inspirations for each army are the models, and the real world cultures that correspond to them. In some cases this is harder than other, but for the Sylvan Elves, it's wasn't a problem. Ultimately we've aimed for something that is distinct from any oth...

Haha, no no, as a vegetarian hippy myself, I have no wish or intention for the WE to become like me, and nor do the rest of the team. There is a definite drive to keep the feel of the factions similar to the old fluff, without using the same details.

Thing to remember is, the game isn't finished yet. Currently the rules are in beta development. Edition 1.0 is set for release in a couple of days. Once that hits, the game should be much stabler. With regard to fluff - maybe I'm biased, since I'm on the team writing the new stuff, but I relish the ...

I do hope 9th Age is not perceived as a game for tournaments only. Yes, it's written as a ruleset that works for tournaments in a way that AoS doesn't, but from where I sit, it's great for casual gamers too. If the various Rules' committees succeed it balancing things out the way they want, anyone w...

The only thing I can think of is that there must be some weapons that take extra modifiers to their misfire rolls - probably found in a specific army list. (Sounds like some Ork and Gobblin type foolishness to me.) This. I think maybe firethrowers and such. Exactly so: If a '6' was rolled, the Flam...

The 9th Age team are very responsive to criticism. The armies are very much still being worked on. If you have feedback, to take it T9A forum - they will take it on board.

I always preferred the more feral side of the Asrai fluff, so any Pagan Neofolk, Dark Neofolk, or really any variety of Neofolk that stays mostly acoustic will do the trick, really. In that vein, Wardruna are a fantastic choice, as are: Faun Omnia Stille Volk Empyrium (Their non-metal albums anyway)...

Personally, I'm interested to see what they do. I can simultaneously mourn the loss of the current Fantasy and be excited for whatever replaces it. If it turns out to be a mound of mouldy Mournfang manure, then I'll not partake, but until I see it, I'll not judge. I quite like 40k, and have a sizeab...

Trooper: Previous Eternal Guard.

Character: Skaw the Falconer.

I haven't tried it yet, mostly because I really dislike the models. They seem to have put so little effort into the design of them; they lack so much detail, and the few I bought for conversion purposes were made of awful quality plastic. A company that puts so little effort into its models doesn't ...

Hmm, I like the idea of a monster or a warmachine, open to any army.

I'd certainly enjoy more frequent challenges. I can't promise I'd partake in all of them, but I'd certainly like to join in more, and I always end up missing the boat, only to have to wait 3 months for the next one, which I will of course, forget until it's too late. My fault entirely, I understand,...

The statement "Spells can be used any number of times in each magic phase, as long as all previous attempts to cast the spell have been successful" is entirely permissive. Sort of. RAW, you're right. But RAW, the sentence means nothing at all. Absent any other restrictions on how many tim...

Every time I see HoDA, I think of this guy: Maybe we need a Hodor firing a HoDA.

Sorry Naggie, unfortunately my academic qualities or lack thereof leave me wanting for intelligent types among my circle of acquaintances. Perhaps somebody else may be able to offer some assistance. :D I'm trying to figure out if you're sarcastically reminding Naggie that you are yourself a graphic...

I think I can see the confusion you're having: I'm not stating that "shooting normally" needs to be defined as a rules term, I'm saying that it isn't defined, and therefore can mean either: shooting as any other model normally does, or shooting as this model normally would. In technical te...

Coyle_Ravane: You are trying to treat something as rule-specific keyword, when it is not. It is not formatted as such, it is not presented as such. There is no such specific situation as "shooting normally". It is not defined. Just having a whole chapter on shooting does not define that p...
