In this episode Saul and Jolene discuss playing more than one character in a RPG. Saul begins the discussion with playing back in the ole days of D&D where people would "play" a character of a player that could not make the session. Saul admits they really didn't RP those characters but just went through the mechanics of playing the missing players character.
From there Saul talks about friends playing with more than one character due to not being able to attend games on a regular basis and would instead play with his brother, a GM and one player. Saul discussed how playing like that made it necessary for the player to play more than one character.
The discussion moves to reasons why player today might want to play more than one character from not wanting to have any down time, to completing a "balanced" party.
