i dont think marketing a collectible card game would be a good idea. other than magic, pokemon, and yugioh, other card games have not had much success at all...

Well, barring the MMORPG idea...
Nathan's response to the computer game idea at Serenity Squared was that there had to be a heist; bar fights; a fight on Serenity against Reavers boarding the ship which, once you reached the bridge, would turn into a spaceship chase; and a way to do all kinds of jobs.
When he said that, I turned to the person sat next to me and said three little words.
Grand.
Theft.
Firefly.
"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
"Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all..."
"SUMMER!!"

Actually, i'd be better as a third person (think: warcraft) type game (MMORPG, possibly?)
you start as a captain with a limited abount of money in the firefly 'verse and have to buy a ship and hire a crew.
buying and upgrading ships could be done at stations around (better ships/parts in the core, cheaper ships/parts on the rim)
hiring crew members would be based off archetypes with randomized backstories in taverns on planets (ie: enter a tavern, see an ex-browncoat pilot, or a local mechanic, fugitive doctor, ect.)
the ship and crew would be completely customizable (meaning that you could do a serenity&crew clone, or your own unique thing.
Meeting contacts and taking on missions would change as your crew changes (having a fugitive crew means no more central planet jobs)
the possibilities are nearly endless for that type of game, rather than doing jobs as the serenity crew, you could build your own crew and have your own ship.
of course, joss would need to have immense creative control over some of the universe building (ship types, planet/moon setups, ect)
better by far than a cookie-cutter FPS
