Re: The Thing RPG?
You don't have to change it's weaknesses, or even ways of detecting it. After all, not everybody has metal in their body. As for the horror/suspense, that would be easy to continue. After all, you don't have to even let anyone be infected, just make it seem like someone is. Then everyone turns on them...I ran a game with an infection, that basically destroyed the host bodies mind, replacing it. The person that was initally infected never even tried to infect anyone else, they all thought that someone else got infected, and would kill them. By time the game ended I had a death count of about 75%.
