I've been keeping very quiet about Forgotten Futures X because I've been 
conducting super-secret negotiations with a certain author for the last 
few weeks. Yes, FF X will be the first licensed release, based on a book 
that is still in copyright... (fx drum roll...) Tooth and Claw by Jo 
Walton, a World Fantasy Award winning novel about life, love, manners, 
inheritance, and lawsuits in a world where the war between humans and 
dragons ended in a draw, and dragons now live in something a lot like 
Victorian society (apart from the odd bit of slavery and cannibalism). I 
won't be able to include the novel, but while it isn't currently in 
print it's readily available and a wonderful read.

So far I'm still writing the introduction, but the main things I expect 
to include are
- A rewrite of the game rules for dragon player characters. BODY and 
combat damage will be going WAY off the usual scales for this one...
- Lots of dragon-specific skills appropriate to the setting and the 
character's age, sex, etc. (e.g., since most male dragons have huge 
claws females are generally the only ones who can write, huge males are 
generally the most likely to have flame, etc.)
- A lot of stuff on dragon society and religious and social heirarchies.
- Appropriate character traits (e.g. "Secret - ate his brother as a 
hatchling"; "Scarlet woman" [female dragons turn red after their first 
sexual arousal; if this does not lead to marriage there's a lot of 
social stigma], "Insanely litigeous," and so forth).
- Dragon technology, arts, etc.

Also the usual adventures and adventure outlines etc.

If all goes well I hope to release it simultaneously in HTML and PDF 
versions early next year, and will release the next version of the FF 
CD-ROM at the same time.

Anyway, expect to see a lot more about this as I get into it; as usual 
I'll be looking for feedback on my ideas etc., and it will help 
immensely if as many people as possible read the book first (plug plug), 
you really won't regret it. The first chapter and a lot of other stuff 
are on line here:
