Well, we once ran with multiple players per character.  A friend and
I jointly played an Illusionist with a split personality...

Good lord, man!  You mean they don't bury his belongings with him?
Whatever is his Ka going to do in the afterlife?!!

All foolishness aside, as a writer in A&E 125 said, "Why does the
adventure have to stop at death?"  If your players are roleplayers,
and they know their friend *needs* his stuff to do well in the
afterlife (and maybe some more stuff as well), would they give it
to him?  It might also give them an entirely new perspective on
tomb robbers, which is more or less what many PCs are.

Anyone care to discuss this idea?
