Ladies and gentleman, I'm thrilled to announce the official return of Castle Falkenstein. Fat Goblin Games has partnered with R. Talsorian to produce new content for the game, continuing from where the game left off in the late 90s.
The official announcement is here.
My name is J Gray and I have the honor of being the lead transcriber and developer for the line. R. Talsorian has entrusted us with a pile of missives, journals, and various papers sent by Captain Thomas Olam from the world of Castle Falkenstein to our own. My job is to sort through the mess, transcribe and edit, then present it for publication.
Our first offering, Curious Creatures is in the works now. It will present thirty-five new animals, monsters, beasts, and other interesting beings for use in any Falkenstein campaign. There will also be rules for creating new creatures playing unusual Dramatic Characters such as unicorns, intelligent animals, and half-man, half-creatures.
I am happy to discuss the matter further here or in private message and will gladly answer any questions. Thank you! We hope to see you on Fifth Earth.
This makes me, very, very happy. And not just because I can't find my copy of CF and Comme Il Faut any more. (And also not because I had the honor of doing the PDF conversions for RTG way back when.)
I've been aching for new Falk for quite some time.

Your PDFs are on my iPad right now! The first book, Curious Creatures, is about halfway through the transcribing stage. Tom Olam's handwriting is horrible.
I'm telling you, when I figure out who has my copies of Falk and Faut, I'm going to exact some hefty revenge. They've been missing for years, and none of my friends will fess up to having borrowed them.

Don't I know it!
So will you be using the same card-based resolution system, or moving to something new?

We are making new material for the existing game so the cards remain.
