A book or book series concept I have had for a while, which has become inactive; when projects become inactive I throw them into some kind of blog-like space to make me re-evaluate them critically and make a real decision on how or if I will return to them.

Ironblood and Aurora system

The Aurora system is a card-based tabletop game framework designed mainly to suit the Ironblood setting but also intended to be usable for specific different settings and stories just as tabletop RPG systems have "campaigns". Like Ironblood it is currently more of a concept than anything, although it already has a lot of tentative details.
