I'm thinking of going to a friend's house there's just the two of us, I'm thinking we could play some D&D once we got bored of games and I'm wondering can a campaign with 1 DM and 1 PC 'work'?

yes, they can work.

it all depends on the type of DM and player you have. If you have a very storytelling/problemsolving-intensive DM and only 1-2 players that can be quite difficult (often the players won't get what the DM is trying to lead them to and everyone just gets frustrated).
If you have a more hack-and-slash DM, then it should work fine, but just keep in mind that it's liable to be a far more boring experience than your typical game.

I completely disagree with TheGrimace. I spent many years playing in and running 1-on-1 games with a close friend, when we had no group to game with. Regardless of the story-telling/fighting balance, it can work out just fine and be incredibly fun.

Another question, I notice that the stats for Quarterstaff is 1d6/1d6 does this mean it has two attacks?

Back in my day the weapons could do different damage depending on the size of the target. It was often written that way, 1dX/1dY, where the X die would be for the small monsters and the Y die would be for the large ones.
For instance - and this is really tugging on the memory - a dagger was 1d4/1d3.
You're probably playing a way more modern version of D&D than I used to, but it's fun to dig up those memories. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
The quarterstaff in 3E is a double weapon. Each end does 1d6 damage.

To elaborate on Tom's point, Blayne: As a double weapon, the quarterstaff can be used for two attacks following the Two Weapon Fighting rules.
