Speculation about, and suggestions for, new FFG titles
I would love to see FFG do a board game version of X-Com!

I always thought a board game version of X-Com would do very well. Wouldn't mind seeing FFG do this myself :)
Primarily an LCG player. Hit me up if you're in the Baltimore area, I'd love to play!
Sounds like a great idea. X-Com actually plays very much like a fantasy game in a different setting, so why not style it after Descent? There'd need to be some differences though. Cover would need to be emphasized. Maps would need to be randomly generated and progressively revealed. And instead of getting loot that can be used on the spot, it instead gets funnelled into research. A campaign would be the default way to play.

In other words, it'd combine some of the awesome tactical play of Descent but branch off into some interesting new directions.
I think X-Com would make a better RPG than Board Game, but then again Can't we have Both?
