Instead of the players controlling two characters you could let the players make gestalt characters. I've let players run gestalt characters several times and they really let the party fill several roles at once with less characters in the party. I recommend letting the party remain a level or so ahead of the assumed APL for the adventure however to help compensate for fewer characters and thus fewer targets for the baddies.

Gestalt Characters

I've never heard of 'gestalt characters' but I do like the idea since one of the problems with two characters is the effects on the Role Playing aspect of the game. Obviously there are some downsides but I can more easily control whether or not they fight creatures that will try to take one party member out with disabling spells.

One of my players is using Hero Lab, do you know if it can handle Gestalt characters?

Great idea about having the players control 2 characters. Either I would give that a try or opt for the controlling an NPC or two. But I enjoy giving control over to the players.

Looks like I'll be running LEGACY OF FIRE and saving Rise of the Runelords for a bigger groups once I can get enough people together.

Thank you all for the advice. Much appreciated.

Been a while since you posted this, but are you still looking for players? I live in Brooklyn and would be interested in playing.

I've just begun GM after many years since last playing tabletop RPGs (last played with D&D 2ed). A friend introduced me to Pathfinder and I've been hooked since.

I have only been able to find two players willing to play weekly sessions with me. Any recommendations for a Pathfinder adventure path that would work with only two players?

I already have the Rise of the Runelords but that looks like it would be pretty brutal for just two players. How about Legacy of Fire? Or Kingmaker?
