No wonder ETC won't have anything to do with his ideas. As for 'Original thinker' he just spouts on about what his opponent did wrong with an arrogant undertone and quotes advice form the Art of War. So what. Guys, play 9th Age and watch him abandon this and come crawling to 9th Age for games.

I was never sure why they decided that some troops in some armies would be cheaper that almost the same unit in another book.<br /><br />I think you would almost be better doing the rules and points for a type of unit at one go. For example make the rules for knights and then make the points costs for all knights based on those rules.<br /><br />With all the technology available it's not like the old days that you need to have simple points increases. You could make much more use of proportional or exponential functions for upgrades.John Tailbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518208348459114267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-86029009078444188682015-08-21T09:23:24.190+12:002015-08-21T09:23:24.190+12:00So we are having a playtest day next Saturday.

I'm sure it has rough edges but what I like is that the core mechanics are maintained and the books are adjusted.<br /><br />I'm sure that points will be tweaked as it gets tested.Pete Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352990006052067650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-63517689634673944702015-08-19T13:50:39.463+12:002015-08-19T13:50:39.463+12:00That's not so bad a rewrite I only read the sp...That's not so bad a rewrite I only read the spells and items and wood elf parts it's the minor change that a lot of us want a posed to the larger change the 9th age is.

Seems odd when re-writing a bunch you don't make fire #6 spell mildly ok. For 100 hours of re-write + 100 hours of play test seems a stretch considering the feel of what's done.Jossyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386542471306291066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-90587296395113844382015-08-18T22:18:37.563+12:002015-08-18T22:18:37.563+12:00Just had a quick look at he O&G book.

Arachnoroks down by 100 points, Gorbad down by 70, trolls up by 5 and goblins down by .5Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496085752361223719noreply@blogger.com
