You could make a suggestion game where you control Theron, trying to single-handedly stop the Mind from reaching Earth.

Break out of the cell, fight to the control room, and hot wire the orbital bombardment cannons?
Sounds like a kick-ass setup, to me.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

That'd be really cool. If you do end up running that, mind linking it here?

If I do that, I'll be sure to link it here. I think it could make good RTD... Damn it! Stop giving me ideas, I already have ideas!

One game at time.

This could be modified into a suggestion game somewhat similar to plague inc. Spreadin the mind to the other units and then the world. The best thing we could do is choose an average joe from earth and start a corporation. Wth direct access to both human and alien minds it would rise to the top in many fields allowing for all sorts of options. But so many things could happen it would be fun to play.

I did play around with idea of continuing the game as suggestion game, however having seizures all around the globe and NPCs witnessing the alien would make situation hard start. How would you suggest to solve situation?

I don't know how the corporate thing would pan out. Having to handle new people joining the mind constantly, criminals, psychopaths, scientists, soldiers and insane people could make it tedious to run from perspective of GM. I didn't particularly like about handling infections of NPCs even in this game, and we were still operating in small scale. Expanding that into planetary scale would blow my head. But then again I might be focusing on irrelevant things.

It varies, for example you were just able sit through it and hold your head, while Adam had to scream. Essentially every animal on planet froze for a second. And it is a second time it happened, biologists will notice.

Could the mind set up temporary filters and then slowly extend it?

Could you elaborate what you mean? What kind of filters?

In theory it could, if it were able to predict incoming shock. In this case it couldn't predict it and after this it is extremely unlikely.

This was an amazing game (especially for your first game), and the reveal was one of the best I've seen. How did you generate the faces and species? Also, why did everyone put up no resistance whatsoever to The Mind's demands? Surely someone could have shouted out that the mind existed before being silenced if they had wanted to.

Seriously, ATHATH, we need to have an intervention about your death mug problem.
