Having played Dungeons and Dragons in the past, like 25 years ago past, this does strike a chord. As modern computer games are showing, user developed content is the key. There are a lot of smart users out there, and a lot of those users are smarter and more inventive then any of those fancy-book-learnin' writers that you pay for could be. Leverage the community, and you can succeed.

Food for thought.
