What facets - if any - of this story might make a good basis for a game. Have you taken part in any games which were broadly similar in storyline and intention?

    I like the idea of a mental enemy. I once wrote a Glorantha Lunar scenario where the MacGuffin was a mind shattering meme/Riddle that passed from person to person. It could also tie into Cold War fears of brainwashing and traitors, like The Manchurian Candidate.

    Like Neil, I like the mental enemy - invisible and sickening, but Vance did this so much better in his novella Nopalgarth. I would use that as a model rather than The Mind Parasites.

    I haven't read Nopagarth - in fact, there's a lot of Vance I have never explored

    Nopalgarth was very different, in a creepy way.
