Running John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) on a medieval abbey

I'm running a The Thing scenario (I expect it to be fairly short, 2-3 sessions) set in a medieval abbey, using Ruination Pilgrimage. Lazy GM that I am, I figured out a way to do it with as little prep as possible. First:

Find your monastery

I searched the webs for a suitable floorplan for my abbey. I went with the one on this site, complete with legend and all. As per the movie, set it in an isolated location (made it a river tidal island during heavy rain season).

Make up a bunch of monks

Instead of fleshing out each individual NPC, I made a bunch of tables to generate them on the fly

The Thing

Gotta have that big bad. I don't know how balanced the stats are (so far the party has survived their first big reveal without any PC deaths -- less luck for a couple of monks). Every once in a while, to move things along, I'm gonna secretly roll to see who's the next unlucky sod to be assimilated, including the PCs (if one of them becomes the Thing, their objectives change -- to assimilate further people and escape onto the world at large -- but they otherwise remain the same character). I have a couple of pre-rolled Cleric PCs to replace any PCs that die.

Combat 65%
Instinct 35%
Wounds 4(30) (When down to last wound, a part detaches and attempts escape)
Dmg 4d10 (Massive)
AP 2 (Fire DMG ignores)
The Thing assimilates a creature that it killed in 1D10 turns.

And yeah, that's it basically. It hasn't come into play yet, but I anticipate Ruination's Sorrow/Despair (equivalent to its foundation's, Motherhip, Stress/Panic) mechanics are gonna compound pretty bad, since they probably won't have a good way to rest to clear them. Hey, just like in The Thing!

The One Who Stoppeth the Buck

Our dear leader. National alpha dog. Visionary. Charismatic. Sexy beast. The first Reptilian-Earthian President of this great nation. All hail The One Who Stoppeth the Buck, leader in perpetuity, our Lord and Savior. He will spur the sleeping giant awake. History hath ended. Everything is going to be alright forever. Yippee Ki-yay! The new and improved Pledge of Allegiance (excerpt above) was updated soon after a constitutional amendment was unanimously passed that did away with Presidential term limits and vastly expanded the President's powers. Why waste the taxpayer's time and money (that could go towards corporate tax cuts) on dragged-out, expensive electoral processes that are RIGGED anyways when manifestly-superior beings, our literal makers, have volunteered to guide us? People are fallible. 600-year old reptiles from Alpha Draconis are not. He takes on the shape of a pretend cowboy right out of central casting: just handsome enough to stir homemakers' loins and just...

D66 Chaotic Mishaps

  11. Someone, somewhere in the world spontaneously explodes. You may never know who, but you know it definitely happened and you'll carry that forever on your conscience.  12. You grow hair in an unexpected place for a week. Teenagers will think that's the new it thing and may try to emulate it.  13. The spell has the reverse effect of the intended. What that's like is up to the GM.  14. You swap bodies with one of the other party members (GM's discretion) for 1d6 days. You both learn valuable lessons about yourselves and each other.  15. You accidentally summon an angry ghost only you can see.  16. Your voice suddenly becomes high-pitched like one of the Chipmunks.  21. You summon a rubber tire from the stars. It falls to Earth towards you, disintegrating during atmospheric entry. It reaches you as a faint smell of burnt rubber.  22. A shadow version of yourself crosses the threshold and enters the world, somewhere. They're exactly like you, exc...
