My personal view is that RPGing is more satisfactory if they are abandoned. Thus, when I've got two players, I will use techniques that work for two players; given that part of what's fun in RPGing is knowing what is happening to your friend's PC, and the players are here to have fun, I will encourage them to pay attention to what is happening to one another's PCs;  and if a game will work best over a one, or three, or whatever session arc, then that's how long we'll play it for.</blockquote>
