Jorge,
This is darn groovy. I'm totally going to "liberate" most of this idea for
my own nefarious purposes. The only thing: What happens if there are
multiple people in the room? Do they all see the Alien? Can they all attack
it? How does the Alien move and attack?
Dang, I wish I could attend, especially to find out what the "catch" is.
