[General Discussion] Do you have an idea for a unique game? Share it!

Since I'm a roleplaying junkie, I'm always thinking of ways to freshen up the genre that will never come about because I have no programming skill.

One thing that I have often toyed with is the idea of a game that casts the player as a student watch member at a university. It would probably wind up being a sandbox-type game, mission-based, but with plenty of humor--a sort of Leisure Suit Larry meets Grand Theft University, of you will.

One thing I've really been aching for is a Galactic Sandbox type of game--something with a flight-combat-economics engine like Privateer but with planet surfaces explorable in 1st/3rd person. There'd be ship-to-ship combat and missions, as well as ground-based ones, with an economic model to boot. No such game will probably ever emerge, but I keep hoping.

Finally, I think that the gaming world is seriously lacking modern or near-modern roleplaying experiences, especially ones with decent firearms models. Why not have all the statistics, skills, customization, and story of an RPG but in a modern setting? It makes sense, but nothing like it has come up recently.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
