Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't they seem to counteract one another quite a bit? Arch is about bleeding stability, OpenBSD is about packages being super duper secure with good documentation, leading to stuff being quite outdated. What would you take from either project? OpenBSD with pacman? Because in my opinion pacman isn't that great, and yrmt has his pkgin thing coming along quite nicely. Not to shoot you down, just my immediate thoughts on the idea.

Again, off the top of my head:

Game
Pros
* More room for participation
* Probably easier
* More room for creativity
Cons
* Not very 'UNIX-y'
* Falls apart if we don't have any talented artists/musicians/idea people.

Distro
Pros
* More obvious - UnixHub makes a Unix distro
* Potential to be pretty unique, though it'd need some thought.
* If we could get it going, I personally think it'd be more fun and more of a learning experience.
Cons
* Harder, more specific knowledge/skillset is required.
* Harder to come up with something original to give the project a purpose.
