Deliria musings.
I'm not sure why the subject line for this post amuses me so. So far, I quite like Deliria. I have a few "issues" with the CD rom. It's very cool, mind, and my biggest issue around it has nothing to do with it (it wasn't even in the picture, I was just prepping a connection to a drive to back it up and my computer got snappish about it). But the auto-run bit with the music, and the web pages where you can click on stuff but there's no hand/visual cue that you can, like you get with a link? So not cool! I'm sitting there poking around trying to figure out what to click on. Ew.
But, the CD is fairly well-organized and, once the auto-run what-not is shut down so it's not in the way, it is easy to go find what you need.
Other than that, the CD just needs to be labelled - it's a blank white CD (which is at least not like the blanks I have, but...).
No material that I can find on creating Legacies, but then again, the process of making them up seems fairly intuitive - I'm just curious how you decide/work out what's reasonably balanced and was hoping for some design notes there. None that I can find. Some of the other stuff looks fascinating but so far I only skimmed it looking for that (and who knows, I may have missed what I sought in the skimming). I'll have to go back and read it properly later.
I am struck by a strong desire to run a game. Again. If these impulses ever went anywhere.... Of course, on the rare occasion (all a decade ago or more now, so possibly no longer applicable) when the impulse did go somewhere, I absolutely sucked as a GM. Sigh. Part of that is, of course, not thinking on my feet well enough - and those were face-to-face games. Online games are another ball of wax. But I don't see it as doable. I'll confine myself to jotting idea-lings and creating characters and whatnot for now if I must. I'm much better at that and it is actually just as amusing, perhaps moreso. I already have another character entirely in the back of my head, although I have the sinking feeling she'll turn out to be far too annoying to actually have anything done with her other than be sketched out.
