Can someone who's run games in real life give me some tips? I'm going to attempt it without the game itself. I can make pass/fail cards easy enough, and handing out roles I can figure out.
I'm wondering about the revealing spies to each other part, and such. Does closing eyes really work?

Yes. I've only played Avalon, but base Resistance only has spies right ? In that case it's even easier, takes ten seconds.

I just say everyone close your eyes; spies open your eyes; 1 2 3 4 5; spies close your eyes; everyone open your eyes.
It's best if you're in a place you can not have to turn your head if you are a spy and talking

It should be 8 players, and they'll be seated in a diamond shape, facing inward.
I figure I'll use playing cards for everything: Jacks as spies, for example. Each mission, I can give everyone two cards (red and black) and have them secretly submit pass (black) and fail (red). Shuffle everything, then reveal.
Is that about it?

Yep! Just make sure you never think about submitting a pass or fail. Best spy tell.

Our solution is to always pretend to think about it.

Same here. I always shuffle my Pass/Fail cards before looking at them and picking one, it gives me some extra time to think. Somehow no one has ever called me out on it. I have the actual game too, so there's some extra time while fishing for the pairs and handing them out to each of the relevant players.
Although obviously if someone spends 20 seconds looking at their cards, it's going to raise suspicions.

Be really sure that no one sees which pass/fail cards players get for missions, since I assume you're not using multiple decks for this.

I have two decks, so I'll be able to double-up at least.

In my group, everyone has to shuffle the cards for at least about 10 seconds when they receive them. I encourage spies to use that time to decide which card they're going to play, as that way they can play them immediately after deciding.
