Summary: Larry Niven apparently agrees with you, as do I.


For an interesting example of exactly how well this works, try reading
"DREAMPARK" by Larry Niven and Steven Bernes.

The book deals with sort of a VERY Advanced D&D scheme, and perhaps it
doesn't exactly deal with one person / two characters, as it would be
impossible to do so in the book's context.  It does, however address the
issue of inserting characters in the middle of the game to keep it interesting
and it's good reading to boot.

I'd better stop here or else I risk being flamed for posting in frp rather
than books.
