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.

Scraps

Themes

Alchemy

  1. Marxism as alchemy (adventure narratives) (proposed; ML) 1-1-1

Psychological repression

  1. North Korea point (proposed; ML) 1-1-1
  2. Gay movements are against the proletariat (pronounced Soviet Union) (proposed; ML) 1-1-1
  3. Trotsky deserting progressive cause (proposed; IV) 1-1-1
  4. If LGBT+ support Stalin, Trotsky abandons them (proposed; MX) 1-1-1
  5. If Panthers succeed Trotsky abandons them (proposed; MX) 1-1-1

Misc Items

  1. Far Alchavia -> fictional autonomous republic.
  2. Sending experts to Far Alchavia doomed the rest of the Soviet Union -> joke theory about my own setting. the real Soviet Union had a shortage of experts. the imagined one sent a particular handful of progressive people to Far Alchavia. conclusion: sending them there had consequences.

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.

Character cards
