Slim Editions
These books represent the standard rules for playing The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, and are allowed in all standard T9A games. The Rulebook is frozen (save for minor errata), but the 16 Army Books and the Arcane Compendium are periodically updated, either in the form of new Army Books, or balance updates.
Slim Editions are printer-friendly documents in black and white without background or artwork, designed to be easily carried on battlefields.
Supplements
The following books represent additions to the Core Rules, which are available for use and offer a more varied gaming experience when combined with the Core Rules. While these supplements follow our general guidelines for quality and balance, they significantly increase the complexity of the game such that you need permission from your opponent or the Tournament Organizer to use them.
