Over the last couple of months I've been updating the Forgotten Futures
rules - not changing the way they work, apart from some trivial word
changes, just cleaning up the HTML and making things look nicer,
reorganising, adding some more appendices, etc.
I've put the revised version on line as
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/forgottenfutures/test/rules.htm
Or as a zip file
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/forgottenfutures/test/rules.zip
For the moment the links to the rules on my web sites point to the old
version, I want to be sure there are no problems before this becomes the
only on-line version.
At the moment the main rules are the only thing updated; the summary
rules, tables, etc. are still in their original form, waiting for me to
sort them out.
What's different?
- I think that the presentation is considerably better, and I've fixed a
lot of problems with grammar, spelling, etc.
- I've incorporated the melodrama rules from FF VI, magic from FF VIII,
some of the real world stuff from various worldbooks, and gadgets and
other fun stuff from most of them.
- There are a lot more links to on-line resources etc.
- It's illustrated.
The down-side of this is that it's a bigger file, about a megabyte by
the time all the illustrations are downloaded, 880k as a zip file.
What I need now is for people to look through, preferably using as many
different computers and web browsers as possible, and see if they can
find any problems such as formatting that doesn't work properly, broken
tables, links, etc. I've been working mostly in Opera and checking
occasionally in IE6 and Firefox, but only on a PC. Mac, Linux and other
users would be helpful.
