My Paranoid PvP Dungeon Crawl (PF)
Hey guys! So, recently I had what I like to think of as a stroke of genius . I'm in a ballroom dancing club, and recently I posted this on the facebook page. (in the context of a larger proposal)
SpoilerWe do an old-school-style dungeon crawl- with a twist. At the beginning of the game I will shuffle a deck of cards and deal one card to each player. If it's a black card, you're a normal humanoid who stands for goodness and light. If it's a red card, you're a secret thrall of the boss monster, a cultist who has embraced the dark, maddening power of the otherworld. Complicating factors may come up during the game, but I'm not going to tell you about them.
The post exploded. Now I have seven people signed up to do this dungeon, with experience ranging from a WotC-certified DM to fresh beginner. I'm going to use a random dungeon generator, and I already have some good plans for this, but does anyone have any thoughts/ideas?
By the way, the system I am using is Pathfinder.My wonderful Avatar is by licoot.

For the first run-through, don't use any red cards.
Imagine if all real-world conversations were like internet D&D conversations...

Projects: Homebrew, Gentlemen's Agreement, DMPCs, Forbidden Knowledge safety, and Top Ten Worst. Also, Quotes and RACSD are good.

Better yet, for one playthrough tell everyone they're playing with red cards and black cards but give one player a green card. Tell everyone with the red cards that they win if the party fails, and tell everyone with the black cards that they win if the boss dies, but tell the player with the green card (privately) that they can only win if they reach the boss room, assume their true form using a ritual (becoming a superboss) and eat at least one player from each team.

Give one player a dark red card. He/she'll start out claiming to be with the black cards once the red cards betray the black cards, but when the timing is right, betray the black's to the red's.
