The Game Crafter is an interesting tool. There is a part that you can bye games and this part is of no interest at all. Also there is a part that a "very skilled trainer" may "create a game" with a lot of pedagogical possibilities. In order to do so it needs a nice idea about a pedagogical game. I think it can also be a tool for common creation by trainers and learners.
