Of course.  Why?  GM's are the ones in the game with true power to build 
something...build anything, in fact.  It's forging the unified effort 
that becomes problematic.

Yes, but perhaps we would be better off to start something new, rather 
than resurrecting an old, dead idea?

~poof~
There are now...it's the beauty, and power of being GM's.  We make 
actors to fit what we want to build.

I tried.  None else posted summaries.  Almost none responded to, or made 
use of what I did post.

The problem with summaries is that the GM's are all players.  You can 
post concise summaries to work plot lines together, or you can have long 
term plot-lines with mystery...but you can't have both.

I think Wright's middle ground approach in Gelia may be a better 
solution.  Instead of a summary, post a list of events/changes visible 
to the general public.  However, I would encourage these sorts of 
updates to be more frequent, after each adventure if possible.

I have used them in two of my adventures, but it is difficult to use 
them, because there is no longer a listing in the book of their psyonic 
capabilities.

D) All of the above.

Good question...what do we want to do.

You've already answered this question.  Get 2 or 3 GM's together, have 
lunch a few times...see what happens.
