Who Goes There? A Slightly More Origional Game

[Reverend Joe]

I am currently in the process of writing a backstory for this game, based heavily upon the novella "Who Goes There?" and some elements from the 1981 "Thing" movie.

This will be a game in which people are not killed, but infected- but! the infected cannot spread the contagion, except for the origional infector (the target thing), and the in-game infected will not know who the others are, including who infected them. This is to simulate the fact that, despite the fact that the Things are telepathic (as in the novella), they take on the precise mannerisms of those they infect- and, just like men, they will work against one another to survive.

I will post the exact rules once the backstory is finished. Please note that I do not have the time to host this game (frankly, I have other things to do, such as study and experiment with mildly psychotropic substances- they're legal, don't worry!), so I must throw it to the mercy of whoever wants to host a new game. Good writers are recommended. The "mood" of the game will also be established in the intro. (Be warned, it might be rather long.)
