I got this idea from whoever said that their group always has a assassin or spy or something in their group. This is my question. Who would be interested in playing a game where everyone was a bad guy except one person. Now no one would know who the good guy was, but he would be trying to silently undermine their evil acts and plans. Now I'm not volunteering to GM a game like this or even talking about actually playing one, Im just curious who would actually find that worthwhile to play.
So any opinions on this? hate mail is ok too i guess.(if my idea really stinks)

role reversal.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. -Thomas Jefferson

I've never run that exact scenario... "one good guy, the rest bad guys", at least not that clear cut.
I did run a scenario where the party was a team of CS operatives, with one traitor working for a group of D-Bees.
It is still regarded as one of the best adventures we've ever played.

The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

Actually it sounds like a really cool Idea I have never had a game that was like that but it sounds like it would be very fun of course I have been in the opposite situation and been the only bad guy in a group of goody two shoes. Really had to watch my back on that one and cover my tracks but it was a very fun campaign actually the char is still very much alive even though the game itself has died.
