I don't love it. The games are more about design; too many are unbalanced, and in even the best-designed of them the power roles are such a huge part of the game that vanillagers justifiably feel left out.
Also, I think people are becoming "experienced" without ever having and to learn actually to play well. That's not awful, but it does mean a whole lot of players aren't as good as they think they are, and don't have terrific opportunities to become better.
However, I do believe that complex games are very important, in part because they keep the potential moderators and game designers interested. Moderating a vanilla game has its charms, but frankly if that were all there were we'd have a lot fewer games.
I also do like force lightning...
