I finally got around to making an actual document for my RPG rules and sample adventure; attached. Comment for suggestions/feedback, and I will hopefully get around to adding more later.
Simple RPG (Still need a better name...)
You could call it KISS rpg.

Not the maxim, "Keep it simple, stupid". I'm talking about the rock band, where the player will take the role of a rapidly aging rocker who's no longer cool enough to support his massively swollen ego. It will be just like Earthdawn, where your skills blunt as time goes by. So, in the beginning, you'll be breathing fire and licking things ten feet away, and in the end, you'll make really sad porn videos and get fired from The Apprentice.

Sorry
I guess I'm not strong on naming things, because I can't think of one. I really wanted to come up with something good too, because I had like exactly the same post a year ago, and Faustus named my game, Play it Cool.
My only even remotely worthwhile suggestion would be to change the names of the stats so that Simple means something, so you could have, for instance...
Then you could call it the SIMPLE RPG, or S.I.M.P.L.E. RPG.
I'm glad to see the flow charts.
When my dad was a kid he played D&D and loved the early computer games like Adventure or Rogue. He played Adventure so much that even though it was only txt, he mapped out all the locations and how they linked to each other and what you needed to do in each location to get from one to another.
Next time I hang out with him I'll ask if he still has those flow charts or I might work up flow charts based on a computer game I've liked, maybe Riven.
This just seems like such a cool way to kill time if you're on a long road trip with with your family or stuck in a jury pool room all day and you happen to have a print out of this and a d6 or two that you've trapped in a little plastic bubble that you got for a quarter outside a supermarket.
