Everything has it's proper place, and when you're altering something as large as the 4e ruleset, it needs to be in the right place. Let's say you come up with a few terms for combat rules that you really like, but you start working on races or classes or skills.  For the sake of argument, let's say you think up a few more terms while working on races or classes or skills, this time for equipment. When you go back after working on the others, you might not remember what all the terms you liked were, or it might get mixed into everything else you either wrote down or posted, and now you need to sift through the whole mess to find them. It's best to do work on a single subject at a time, so you don't get mixed up. If you get an idea for a term under another subject, write it down and keep it separate from your current subject, and keep going on your previous work, don't change subjects until one is finished. If you get stuck, then it would be a good time to move on and pick it up later. What is being undertaken here is a big project, probably bigger that it seems, some preplanning can go a long way to help you. Outline what you want to tackle first, second, third etc. and stick to that outline. hope that helps</blockquote>
