Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Sounds pretty good.

Of course, there *have* been a few PBM RPGs like that already, and a
couple of other games I can think of...

There was one in particular where you went around kicking each
other's butts, but you had set paragraphs of text that were triggered by
your end of turn actions... I had already thought this was the case when I
played, but had it confirmed by a player who knew the GM and his system
well.

Of course it was aimed at a different market, but still, it was novel for
a while.

I have seen the books you mention, and yeah, if I ever get kids, I'll
prolly write them one or two myself, they aren't hard to come up with.

But looks like a good idea. Get them hooked at an early age !
