Why is it not possible to 'save as' a template in Reason 10? - I'm sure that used to be possible. There's a whole folder of templates in .rsndemo format so someone must have saved them but the file save dialogue doesn't give the option to save in anything other than .reason format.

You mean it gets a different extension automatically?

How to create read-only (write-protected) Reason Template:
Save as usual your desired Project who you like to use later as template.
(You have to activate in your OS the "File Extension" Visibility)
Then rename manually the File-Extension of this File from “.reason” into “.rsndemo”, that’s it!
Now you can open your “justmyexample.rsndemo” Project, but you can’t overwrite it.
So you can use this as template without danger to change it.
You can set it in "Reason Preferences" as "Default Song".
If ever you open Reason, Reason opens this Template but you can't overwrite it.
The location where you place the file doesn't matter at all.
But I’ll recommend to put it in the Reason Folder called “Template Song”.

It's actually really simple (even if not super-obvious):
if you access the "new from template" menu entry within the "file"-menu you will find something along the lines of "show template-folder" at the bottom of that list.
Whatever project-file you save in that folder will show up in the template-list in the file-menu.
As 4gotten5udio already mentioned, templates are usually saved as .rsndemo and these are write-protected.
