Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium is an "interactive urban fantasy setting" created by Phil Brucato.

Inspired by authors like Charles de Lint, Erik Davis and Francesca Lia Block, films like Edward Scissorhands and Practical Magic, world music and ethereal wave music, and TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Deliria's setting emphasizes "normal people" over superheroes.

As a role-playing game, it features a flexible rules system, collaborative storytelling, and a character-crafting process based on telling stories about the character.

"Courage rather than carnage" means that the possibilities of the characters should only limited by their players' imagination, not by stats like hitpoints or class levels.

"Flexible" rather than "crunchy," it's versatile enough to support almost any form of roleplaying, given the powers of imagination and creativity on the player's and the guide's behalf.

Chances are resolved through two ten-sided dice, a deck of cards, or a computer program (sold with the main rule book).
