[QUOTE="Kavyk, post: 1309985, member: 16105"] This kind of campaign can work out fairly well, I would think. From the point of view of a player, it can be fun to work against the rest of the party. I am currently in a Rebellion Era Star Wars Campaign where my character is actually working for the Empire. We've been playing for several months now and the party is still overcoming the obstacles that the DM places. Obviously, the other PCs are starting to get suspicious, but it has been fun to roleplay. And eventually, there will be a big confrontation when my betrayals are discovered. I look forward to that, even if it means the death of my character. Honestly, I have to say that this has created more work for the DM, as opposed to less. He's kind of running two campaigns simultaneously. First, he's running the party's campaign where we all run missions for the Rebellion, but then he's also running a side campaign wherein my character betrays the others and sends secret messages during the 'downtime', as well as when I help plan deceptions which throw suspicion onto others in the group or NPCs we meet. It only works because the DM and I are willing to put in extra time to make it work. Asking first is a very good idea, since it will require extra effort. [/QUOTE]
