Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium
What is Deliria? It's a setting where ordinary people face an extraordinary world. Like the heroes of traditional faerie tales, these men and women are normal folks whose lives suddenly upend, pitching the old rules out the nearest window. And like those traditional heroes, these modern-day Jacks and Beautys must face challenges of body, mind and spirit... or face dark consequences. Deliria is a realm of innocence, challenge and transformation. A place where the tales you tell are yours. A place where hope remains the bravest force, and cleverness brings giants down. Deliria's Prime Codex Roleplaying rules for any venue--tabletop, street theatre, and Internet;
A setting that ranges from coffee shops to kingdoms;
A realm where broken hearts mean more than broken bones;
Lore about faerie tales and the lessons they provide;
Many tales about Deliria's domain;
Art that strides beyond cliché;
And inspirations and affirmations about who we are in our world and what can do to change it.

I did this one. It's not my best work, but it has more heart than almost anything I've written to date. After a long and ugly state of limbo, DELIRIA lives again! The next supplement is headed to print as of January, 2011, and another one is in the writing stage. Watch this space...

If you are bored of the usual roleplay tabletop then you really need to try this. Particularly if you are a fan of urban fantasy and mythology of the likes of Charles DeLint and Neil Gaimen.
Beautiful book with beautiful ideas and a wealth of ideas. The game system has three levels of involvemnet and is much like storytelling round a camp fire, going back to the great traditions of our ancestors.
I personally use the book for inspiration when i want to write, even leafing through its beautiful illustartions and words releases a kind of magic :)
