Isn't that totally how we ended up with the article the way it is now? With Earthbound and Uniracers. I'm not suggesting anything. Just saying.
IIRC, the process then was a lot like the process now, just a little more loose, and less centralized. I'm a proponent of having, if not a single author for article, a single expert editor who gets the final call. Even if you have multiple people doing the write-ups for individual games, that single editor effectively would have final authority for game inclusion, categorization, and responsibility to edit or even rewrite portions of game descriptions as necessary. RB was effectively serving as editor for most of the old pieces, but he was mostly just looking at layout and wording and less at selection. I think having more editors working in their areas of expertise and taking a more active role in the actual selection of games for the articles could have advantages.
As for SM RPG, that won't likely be my call.
