What is it about?
Oliver “Kannik” Bollmann’s Aurora is a core engine for building games, not a complete universal rules set. The linked author page and v1.4 PDF explain its design and optional subsystems.

At the table
Adjust a d6 pool for difficulty and circumstances; half a die is a d3. Total enough dice to reach 15, then use remaining dice as the success margin. After failure, buying extra dice brings complications.
