I love the idea. The problem is what players actually do: they copy
things they've already seen elsewhere. This is a copyright minefield.

If IP laws were a little different, I'd be all for it, but they're
not. Theoretically, it's a great idea, and I'm very excited about it.
Realistically... the legal liability issus make it unworkable. I'm
rather sad about that.
