2008.08.31 21.57 Forgottenfutures.org on line I've set up a new Forgotten Futures web site: http://www.forgottenfutures.org This joins http://www.forgottenfutures.co.uk my personal site, and http://www.forgottenfutures.com which is primarily a download site for Forgotten Futures RPG material. At the moment the .org site has more or less the same contents as the .com site, eventually I plan to add much more. It's likely that if all goes well forgottenfutures.com will eventually point to this site and the old site will be closed. Since the site and servers are based in the UK I'm hoping that I will be able to resolve any problems much faster than has been the case with the current forgottenfutures.com - there's also a small legal advantage, in that some minor copyright problems that have arisen because that site is based in the US would not have caused difficulties if it were in Europe. For the moment (and probably for the future) you need to do nothing about any of this, it's just something that will be going on in the background. Eventually direct addresses of some of the RPG and support material may change, although I'll do my best to avoid that. |

2008.08.28 07.33 Forgotten Futures X on line, and announcing The Forgotten Futures Compendium As of a few minutes ago Forgotten Futures X: The Tooth And Claw Role Playing Game is on line. Contents include complete rules for dragon adventurers, a detailed sourcebook for Jo Walton's World Fantasy Award-winning novel, and adventures. There are HTML and PDF versions, and bonus contents include three chapters of the unfinished sequel to Tooth and Claw, Those Who Favor Fire, a cutout paddle steamer, and character record forms in several formats. There will be another Forgotten Futures release within the next few weeks. The Forgotten Futures Compendium is a collection of material that for one reason or another hasn't previously been included in one of the main game releases. It includes a Flatland RPG crossover, The League of Extraordinary Geometers, Alex Stewart's wonderful African adventure Curse of the Leopardmen, plus a collection of Victorian and Edwardian advertisements and adventure ideas. |

2008.08.21 03.52 Forgotten Futures News Change From 28th August Livejournal will show advertisements on their free account pages, which I formerly used for announcements. I've decided to switch them to Insanejournal. If all goes well this will be a permanent change. All previous news can be found here: http://ffutures-news.livejournal.co To see all future news friend http://ffutures-news.insanejournal.com/ I will continue to update on both blogs for the moment, but I can't guarantee to do so indefinitely. |

2008.08.18 19.14 Forgotten Futures Charity Update I've handed on another £110 to Cancer Research UK today, taking the total I've given them to £1888. Due to a small error this is a few pounds more than I've actually raised for them, but the difference can come from me. Hopefully if Forgotten Futures X goes well I'll be able to give them another donation before the end of the year. |

2008.07.29 08.18 Forgotten Futures X posted I'm very pleased to announce that I've posted Forgotten Futures X: The Tooth and Claw Role Playing Game to registered users today, and it will go on line this time next month. It's a licensed RPG based on the World Fantasy Award-winning novel Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton, and describes a quasi-Victorian world whose inhabitants happen to include a nation of dragons. Contents include a complete guide to dragons and their world, reworked rules aimed specifically at dragon player characters, two long adventures and several outlines. The release is in PDF and HTML form, with extra resources including editable dragon character records in a variety of formats, a cutout paddle steamer, and more. For those who don't want to wait, the distribution CD-ROM is on sale now, with all profits going to Cancer Research UK. It includes Forgotten Futures X, a 14mb sampler of material from the Forgotten Futures CD-ROM, and four films: Melies' A Voyage to the Moon (with three different sound tracks), and the silent version of The Lost World. There's also a new release of the Forgotten Futures CD-ROM, adding Forgotten Futures X and 65mb of source material ranging from Edwardian advertising to several versions of the year 2000, as imagined in the late nineteenth and early 20th century. |
