Yeah, the same is one of the things I loved about the old James Bond RPG from Victory Games.  You and one other player could sit down, with your player playing a 00 agent, and have a blast.  If you had two or three players, one could play the 00 while the rest ran the sidekick NPCs (which, in this case, would make them PCs).  Or, you could have all the players play junior agents. With the Bond game, five players was  a crowd, and the GM would run into situations where the different characters would try to be efficient with all of them running off in different directions to tackle the spy problem at hand, almost Mission Impossible style. Conan is more flexible, but it is, and can accomodate stories of a large party of people (escape gladiators, for example--or members of a Zuagir-esqe band of thieves) and a PC party of one (just the GM and one player playing). In my current campaign, I've got two players, and both are of the same class:  Currently 3rd level Cimmerian Barbarians. The action is thriving, in a good Swords & Sorcery, Conan-esque kind of way. I'm not saying that this is better than the standard D&D approach.  It's not.  It's just a different way to play--and something GMs may consider if they find their gaming group shrinking (as mine has, over the years, with people I've gamed wih for decades moving off to other cities and states).</blockquote>
