AEnoriel Translation Team - French

Name:
My Mom named me Patrick, my kids call me Papa, my ex-girlfriends don't call me anymore...

How old are you?
56 and it keeps adding (against my will).

Where are you from and where do you live right now?
I’m from Southern France (Valence) but I used to live in Germany and Britain for a couple of years too.

What do you do for living?
I am a recruiting consultant.

Since when are you in the Hobby? How did you get into the Hobby and what have you done since then?
I started with v5 (saurians vs knights) a long long time ago. My private life got a bit busy, so I put it all aside for a while. My pals mocked me for starting again in 2015 the day GW ended WHFB v8 and I was deflated with AoS. They told me there was a new project under the counter. The next week, I was part of the French Translation Team...

Which armies do you play?
I play HBE, Dwarves and Knights, but not on a regular basis. One game per month is a good month, including 3-4 tourneys a year. My girlfriend started a Sylvan army, so that I can surprise my buddies sometime.
Some armies are strong, some are nasty. I don't like Demons nor Infernal dwarves because their rules are too complicated.

Why do you support the 9th Age project?
I've always loved strategy games. I liked the idea of a new game and had some time to offer.

What is your personal role in the 9th Age project team?
I offered my help as a translator for the French team, but I stepped back from translations to become the local grammar-wizard. I constantly check every publication for missing plurals, wordings... They all hate me for that and it feels sooooo good !!
One of our French translators (Swiss, actually) hinted that I had had to give up some very important skill to win this super-power and went for "Shooting with a Dwarven cannon". I admit I lost more HP to me rolling '1's than I ever caused to my opponents... Sigh!
