One on One D&D 5E? Thoughts?

I have always been of the opinion that 1 on 1 D&amp;D would be a bit weird and awkward. It can already get slightly embarrassing for people Roleplaying in a group of people they don't know, so just having it be two people might be hard to wrap your head around. But after playing in a game where my DM did Prologue sessions with each player individually, I saw that it wasn't that bad. It was pretty exciting playing the game and everything sort of depending on my actions and how the world reacted(DM). And then I also read this article (&nbsp; <a href="https://kotaku.com/dungeons-dragons-can-work-with-just-two-people-1788951169" rel="nofollow">https://kotaku.com/dungeons-dragons-can-work-with-just-two-people-1788951169</a> &nbsp;) which further intrigued me, hence this post: I am interested in trying a One on One campaign with someone. I think I'd prefer to be the player, but I wouldn't mind being the DM. I currently am a DM of a 4 man campaign and I run One Shots from time to time, so it's nothing new to me. I don't expect One on One games to replace the group activity of normal sized D&amp;D games, but I think it could be a cool experience and would really like to try it out if anyone is interested. Of course since it's only 2 people playing, they would have to be compatible personality wise as well as what sort of adventure they want to embark on together, more so than when there is a group of 5 since there are people to buffer.&nbsp; I think this could be more like the classic "Hero's Quest" you get from books and movies, where you see a the progression of a single individual striving to reach their goals. Or the classic "Villain's Quest," whatever is decided on. Post down, or message me, if you are interested in this idea. Or just post below your thoughts on the concept. I'd love to discuss it deeper.

Dude, i totally dig your concept. Would you want more of a one shot session kinda thing, or a long drawn out leveling campaign. What about the theme? For example, I have my guys acting as members of a police department (aids in preventing mass murderhobos). Ive done similar 1 on 1's, but theyve mainly been gladiator/arena settings. Hell, if we mesh personality wise and you wanna run a random murder mystery, i have one i can scale down to 1 player pretty easily.&nbsp;
This is something I've considered a few times, both for DnD and other systems. I don't have any real GM experience (happy to learn, though), but I'd certainly be willing to play and see how well the concept works.
I have done multiple one on one games and must say that i enjoy it greatly. A friend and I can it so that we played a character until said character died and swapped the roles of player and DM. 1n1 allows for the player to chose exactly what it is that he or she like to do and pursue that thing in particilar. It does however require both of the people to be deeply in love with RPing since the game will lean towards it. Of course it's always possibly to join up with NPCsto battle and go on dungeon crawling adventures. So if you enjoy role playing and properly playing in a sandbox game then playing in a one on one adventure will be super fun. I do suggest rotating the spot between both of you though since it will generate the most amount of fun in the long run!
