Basically, I have no problem with turning over a share of the setting to the players; one of my best campaigns worked like that, with each player creating an entire household of noble aristocratic mages. But I feel that control of sequence, timing, and suspense is my job as GM. And having some control of content, and some power to hide content from the players, is a tool for achieving that control.

That sounds pretty cool.

On the other hand, besides what the players say they want, everything else is still up to the gamemaster...
