I've run one-on-one sessions, including two funnels, Portal under the Stars and Sailors on the Starless Sea. It definitely can be done, but the player will have to run 8-12 characters at a time; then, replace PCs as they die up to a certain limit (to keep some challenge). The 0-level four-sheets at...
