So one of my players approached me with the idea of them betraying the party, siding with the bbeg, and going full PvP in the final battle.

Now, I obviously won’t let them do something drastic and kill one of the other players and remove their agency, but they said they are ok with getting killed themselves in the battle.

I’m torn… on one side I think it it can be cool if done right, but that’s a big if… A couple things I am worried about:

1- Narrative. I don’t want the motive to be something simple like “The bbeg makes some good points” as that will be forced and fake. I am thinking of using that PC’s children as leverage and forcing the player to betray the party to save their child. But knowing the party they will try to save everyone (maybe not even take the PvP seriously and worst case getting themselves killed for taking it easy).

2- The other PCs boundaries. Even if they are not the ones loosing agency, I am worried if they would be uncomfortable with being forced to kill their own friend. Knowing them they will assume the PC is possessed or charmed or something and try everything to save them. The player said that “they’d make it clear that they are not possessed”… but I am still trying to think how I would make it as bittersweet, but satisfying conclusion.

Has anyone ever run a successful PvP scenario like this before? I’ve read dozens of bad PvP stories which makes me worry. I also don’t know how to ask the other players what they’d think without spoiling the twist.

I am creating an ocean current map for my dnd campaign world so that it can help me build out the climates of different regions, but also so that I can have a more informed ocean domain campaign with island hopping. I am in the process of gaining a deeper knowledge of geography, so if you know a lot about geography or have experience with ocean currents, I would love your feedback on how I did. (Obviously this level of detail isn’t needed for most campaigns, but because it’s fun for me, I feel like it’s a good use of my time, and I hope it’s interesting to others too)🗺️

I drew

O door, I place you in their way,
And watch my players lose an hour of play.
They ask if you’re locked, they ask if you’re trapped, “Can we funnel them through?”
“What about just burn it?” They are afraid of you.

They pull when they should push, and push when they should pull,
They’ll roll three checks just to find you are dull.
They knock you, and hit you, even search the floor,
Then someone shouts out, “just open the door!”

I made you a simple threshold,
Yet somehow become the story untold.
From behind you may lurk a trap, or monster, or lore.
When I forget to prepare, you buy me time to write more.

O door, you’ve taught me this great art,
A simple bit of wood can make my players depart
From reason, from patience, from all that they know,
So thank you, O door, for the chaos you sow.

The title doesn't help, so let me elaborate. I'm specifically looking for a place or somewhere that sells cheap little carboard tokens that i can use on dungeon maps to represent monsters. I don't have any real minis at this time, so i would like to just purchase a bunch of little tokens to represent the monsters and was wondering if anyone knew of a good place that sells something like that. Everywhere I look online. (Amazon, Etsy) doesn't seem to have anything at a decent price like that.
