Awesome, we've got 6. I'll wait until Thursday afternoon to start the game since I'm not sure if Mac signed up or not.
The first game will also be simplified:
- SIMPLIFIED Vital Items. Radio Operator or Technician just has to fix the Radio successfully (which takes 4 turns). Then someone has to survive with a TEST TUBE item long enough for either Pilot to get him out for an early victory over the Thing. (The long explanation is that the radio is to find the nearest secure landing site that has a security or hazmat team standing by to debrief the biologist.)
Basically, the radio has to get fixed and a biologist has to make a test tube sample, then the pilot gets them out.
- SIMPLIFIED Thing infection. To infect a player, the Thing has to declare it as a special action (instead of just plain attacking). They have to beat the target's defense by 4 to do damage and if the target can't run away, they become another Thing.

I'm thinking of playing, but I'm having a series of tests right now, and I already just bombed one, so I don't think I should play... I'll let you know though.

Apologies. I'm holding over The Thing until later tonight but I'll send PMs out soon.

PMs sent and the game will begin soon. I've simplified 3 things:
- No more vital items. Radio has to be fixed and Test Tube has to get on chopper for early victory.
- Thing gets special Infect action. If they call an Infect and beat the target's defense by 4, they do damage and infect when the target dies.
- No more day/night phases so you can sleep (relatively) safely.
