The ‘90s was a different time. They believed that killing off a character and replacing him with an identical copy was “raising the stakes”.

Sounds relevant to D&D.
Having to have a stack of character sheets with 'the second' printed on them is considered the height of stakes and consequences in some spaces.

I have definitely played at tables where a character died, and the player very soon introduced "... twin sibling of [PC that died]!"

Hell, I've been that player.
I had a brand new player die to a crit on the very first attack roll of her very first tutorial combat in 3.5e. We both were a little stunned, so we improvised and had her twin sister rush over right then to avenge her death.

I met Terry Brooks at a book signing a few years ago, and during the Q&A, someone in the audience asked him to pronounce "Shannara" for them, to help settle a bet.
"I've always pronounced it Shawna-ruh," he said.
And then 99% of the audience defiantly pretended they never heard him say that, and to this day they will deny he ever said it. It never happened.
