Sounds good to me, it could be built up over time, making it too 
complex at the start especially with a disparate development group 
could be 'the kiss of death'. The RPG & PM theme sounds good to me, 
though I liked the idea of a card/board variation, between maybe 
levels? I was originally for the idea of making it multi player but 
as you say, it would be difficult, so we should walk before we run.

This is the bit I'm looking forward to and its implementation into a 
SQL Schema, I've got some ideas but will air them when there is a 
general approval as to this is the direction we all wish to take...
