EDITOR’S NOTE
What a month in the 9th Age! ETC was amazing. My in-
itial plan was to play for Denmark, but as I didn’t make
the cut I was picked up by Ireland. My initial thoughts
were that I would go and have fun and hopefully get
to play on Team Denmark next year. Now, things are
different. After experiencing the ETC with Team Ire-
land, I don’t want to play for another team! This is no
slight to Team Denmark, but I had such a good time
playing for Ireland that I feel slightly patriotic to my
teammates and adopted ETC country!
results were also good. We smashed Wales in “The
Gashes” 131-29 and I ended up second best HE player
after the master, Furion himself. We also finished as
the best home nation after England which is possibly
more important than anything else!
The days leading up to the ETC, with my Ammertime
compatriot Casimir the Swede we travelled around
Serbia and played the ESC. Casimir with his Warriors
managed to win 2/6 of his games which was better
than he expected as it was his first 2-day tourna-
ment with them. He also got to play the host nations’
youngest player. It’s great to see young people getting
into this hobby!
One further highlight was an interesting army from
the German team (who actually won the tournament
in style in the final round against Spain – congrats!).
This army is made up of Lego models. It’s a little con-
troversial, but on reflection, I quite like the idea. It’s
clear what is what all the models represent, the army
is WYSIWYG and nicely based. I can also understand
why it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think
we are now playing a game where there are no “offi-
cial models” and lots on the market to choose from.
This truly is a Golden Age of Tabletop Gaming, regard-
less whether you are using Lego models or something
from the hundreds of other companies that make
models compatible for the 9th Age.
The highlight of the event was meeting all the people
who share this 9th Age addiction. From my colleagues
on the 9th Age staff to “Youtube and forum person-
alities,” the guys you know through Universal Battle
and also my Irish teammates who I hadn’t met before
we arrived. Everyone who I encountered was super
nice and I had ten great games over the weekend! My
