	Forgotten Futures 9 Worldbook
		OST of the previous Forgotten Futures material has had a background which was to some extent based on weird (or at least very unconventional) science, a never-ending source of ideas for scientific romances.
		Previous Forgotten Futures collections have been based fairly closely on their source material; this time it was felt that a more free-wheeling approach was needed.
		Forgotten Futures already includes rules for scientific projects, weird science, etc. A set of expanded rules was considered for this supplement, and developed over several months, but in the end discarded as too cumbersome (and much too boring) to be worth using.

	Forgotten Futures Rules
		Forgotten Futures is a role playing game based on these discarded possibilities; the futures that could never have been, and the pasts that might have led to them.
		While Forgotten Futures 4 does have some simple magic rules, detailed in the worldbook, they are only appropriate to a narrow genre of supernatural fiction.
		One aspect of the Forgotten Futures rules may annoy players who prefer high levels of violence; it is easy to get hurt or killed in all forms of weapon-based combat, it takes a long time to recover if you are wounded, and most wounds require medical treatment.
