I would like to see a solo game based on the book Moby Dick, something like that Nemo game from VPG.
- You could cruise around and try to get whale oil
- You have to juggle your harpooners and decide how to arrange your crews on the whaling boats
- There could be a Starbuck track. He is the most competent crew member, and is bound by his Christian morality to obey Ahab, but if you push him too far he might take the blunderbuss/gun and shoot you in your sleep, thus damning himself to hell while saving the crew
- There are like nine encounters with other whaling ships, and each of them involves transactions and/or potential conflict or competition for whales
- There is a degree of existential horror that is right up there with HP Lovecraft
Maybe it would look something like Eldritch Horror. I doubt it would ever be popular given the theme.

I know we're talking board games here, but I've mentioned wanting a whaling video game. Something that gets it right. That was a frigging brutal business. Can you imagine cutting up 100-foot-long cows with knives bigger than yourself? Fucked up. Boiling big hanks of fat in kettles? The smell. Ugh. I bet they stank for a month after returning to port.

As for whaling, I am sure you could do that with worker placement and deck building. With a deluxe Dick miniature.

A new Indy movie is coming in 2019... FFG, get the license now and get to work!
That reminds me, whatever happened with Thrilling Tales of Adventure? It sounded amazing, and I know it was getting raves from some playtesters, but I guess it never quite was publishable, eh? Seems like that would have been a prime thing for Kickstarter, but it was before that time. Is Jason still around here? Maybe Zev could help develop that for WizKids or something. Anyway, I feel like that might still have success in the gaming world with the right development.

I understood that reference! Oh man, and now I've just wasted neuron time on John Romero's Daikatana...

Have you single handedly created a new genre of games called 'DICK SALAD'?
Beware, Feld might sue.
