still wishing i had been able to finish the improvised John Carpenter's The Thing DND campaign i DMed half a decade ago
i forget how this worked, but i think there was a system wherein players could become Things without knowing (until they "Thing Out"), or if I decided they needed to be aware they were the Thing, I'd pull every player aside separately before a session
found the old doc, it was set on a fishing ship slash research vessel. i had a system where i calculated how many surviving crew were left and translated deaths to biomass available for Things.
the players had to keep the ship afloat and stuff, one of the high points was when the captain Thinged Out and someone without any stats in navigation had to pilot through a storm. they snapped the cargo cables and crushed a bunch of crewmen (who were not Things) outright
oh man, old sketches of Thing instances
looks like i was planning on introducing some kind of spider... centaur... Thing

if the novel coronavirus was a guy I'd beat him up. I have no shame in saying that. well actually he's probably really strong so I'd likely just glare at him but the spirit is the same
maybe if I had like a glass bottle and caught the novel coronavirus off guard, but there's still the possibility of it pretending not to see me until the moment I strike
I guess what I'm trying to say is we need to get the novel coronavirus wasted and then lure it into a wine cellar to wall it up
