The Rules Encyclopedia game was just 2 players and 1 DM, me and the other player both ran 2 characters this worked out very well and the campaign ran a long time with all three of us having a great time throughout the campaign.  We both had a character that was more dominant, but our other characters would come to the forefront in certain circumstances.  For small groups I think it can be a very valuable tool to use multiple PCs and combats were always fast paced in that group since you never had to wait long for your turn. In the AD&D game it started as 2 different campaigns set in the same world (Greyhawk) I had a character in both and when the DM decided to join the two, I kept both characters.  In this case I was the only one with more than one character and we had a group of five players.  I was helped by the fact that I had started both seperately and was able to mantain them both as full fledged PCs.  I ran a thief and a druid and I recommend in general a spellcaster and non-spellcaster if you are going to run 2 characters.I enjoy the versatility of having multiple characters but in 3rd edition I would more inclined in general to use the leadership feat, and attract a cohort.</blockquote>
