Idle hands are the... expectation
Thats how it goes around here sometimes. All creative endeavors hit stop and go points. I haven't gotten much done on any of my projects in the past few months. With any luck, I'll get something done/revised by the end of October.
If you need help in continuing the project, we are here.
Good luck.
There is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I seem to have lost sight of it some time ago.

Though it can be a bummer to be 'blocked' from completing a RPG you are making, the truth of the matter is that these lulls are a natural part of the creative process. All that matters is the end result, not how long it took to make it. Good luck.
Peace, Errin : )
Shared Thoughts
Your coin based mechanic was interesting, so it will be good to see what you do next. I am especially looking forward to seeing how you handle magic.
Will be keeping watch :)

CORPS
This is a good idea and a decent start to what can be a playable system. I like the CORPS anagram. I think it's clever, and your rules document is witty. (I loved the difficulty levels!) If you find yourself too busy to create or hitting a creative block, why not just rewrite what you have?
That's right, just take the existing document and write it again. The PDF has some rough spots and this would give you the chance to clean them up. Sit down with your document and noodle with it. Not the game... the document... play with the format and the way the information is organized and presented. Take off your game designer's hat and put on your editor's hat.
The cool thing about doing this is that the whole time you're fidgeting with presentation and spelling, your designer mind is back there in your subconscious working stuff out... and the next thing you know your game has some new fresh ideas!! Presto!
It works for me and keeps me motivated. I like CORPS. I'd like to see more from it. (Oh, and I don't want to be grumpy... but maybe a blog header more descriptive than "oy" would have prompted me to take a look at this sooner... sorry for the delay in that.)
