[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6838938, member: 6799649"] Many times over the decades there have been one DM and one player. Usually the lone player plays two or three PCs while the DM may play zero to three PCs. The DM's PCs are the same level and don't come up with the brilliant ideas (unless the player is truly stuck). Just don't fall into the trap of making the DM's PC more powerful than the other PCs. However, I've been playing in a campaign since around 2000 or so, first in 3.0 and now in 3.5. We have just made epic levels (by beating the Tarrasque!). There are four players each with two PCs. There is also a cohort and animal companion, familiar, etc. It make combats long and complex, and we need a lot of high level baddies to challenge us, but it is great fun and probably plays smoother than eight players playing one character each because there are only four people trying to make a plan rather than eight.
