Something that could be done, instead of one big mega gampaign book would be a series of modules.
One company would be responsible for each module in the series, each would be scaled to a different level of PC's.
Each module would begin and end with an open of a enough concept that they could be linked together.
A core outline of event progression would be done at the start, and from there it would be largely open.
(I have this all ironed out in my head but I am having a hard time putting it to words)
DC Comics did something very similar back in the eighties. There was basically a 12 issue maxi series where each issue had a different team of writers and artists. (I do not remember the name of the series, but I remember Einstein being integral to the plot) They developed a basic core out line but each team was responsible for building on what had come before.
It was fairly interesting.
Scheduling product release would be the big issue, as printer schedules would ultimately get in the way if it wasn't monitored. A team at the core that would check continuity, basically another tier of editors, would be essential.
I for one would like to see something like this done. I think it would be fantastic as it would raise the bar on third party publishing, something that for my dollar than can never be enough of.
