The "each GM" thing or the "each player". 'Cause if it's the latter: no, that would never work.
- "I'm going to be 2E and practically die all the time! Also, Vancian!"
- "Well, nuts to that madness! I'm going to be 4E and be a superhero!"
- "Hah! N00bs! I'm going to be a 3.0 and Psionics! You guys are my slaves now!"
... and so on, is pretty much how that would turn out every time.
The "each GM" thing could work pretty well, but there'd be a rather advanced learning curve between each table, and they'll have to do something for organized play, or else lose it entirely.
Also, it's really not relevant, but I figured it worked well enough here. I've said it before, but,
H. G. Wells is the
MAN (at least in regards to gaming and sci-fi). Every last one of us owe our hobby to him (see the last paragraph under "Writer"). (... some of the other stuff is rather iffy.)
Anyway, we can all blame him. It's his fault for starting this whole mess.
