Well...if game object databases could be called up in, say, 
XML format, a script could treat a given website like a remote 
database, at least for reading...so different lists of game 
objects could be on different sites accessible by different 
scripts.

Though I'll grant you that I'm not up on XML, so this may well 
be going outside the definition of "relatively simple 
scripts"...Anyone nerdier than I am who can answer more 
completely?
