Synopsis

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 contains:

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.

About this title

About the Author

Phil Brucato A professional author for nearly 15 years, Phil is best-known as the driving force behind the award-winning RPGs Mage: The Ascension and Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade. Beyond those credits, though, he has worked on everything from newspaper and magazine columns (for new Witch, Creative Loafing, Agenda, Infobia, Night Moves, and The Richmond Times-Dispatch); comic strips (.Embracing the Mask.); short stories (various anthologies by Daw, Masquerade, Harper Prism, Madhouse, and White Wolf); webzines (beat-a-go-go.com); computer games (neither of which saw publication); and ghost writing on several novels (the names of which must remain, for now, undisclosed).

After over 20 years of working in theatre, music, publishing, bodywork, and alternative spirituality, Phil co-founded Laughing Pan Productions in 2000 and Smoke, Mirror & Muse Entertainment in 2001. His current projects include Roleplay for Lovers (a sex-help book), several novels (Keys to the Kingdom, a Deliria novel; and The Chronicles of Coldhaven), and of course Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium. A Neopagan with Techgnostic/ Christian tendencies, Phil favors skeptical optimism, eternal curiosity, and a passionate approach to life. He has a satyr tattooed on his shoulder blade, and it’s there for a reason.
