S02 E08: The Hero's Journey (Part 1)

On this episode, we embark on the first part of a journey; a hero's journey, if you will. The hero's journey is the structural outline for stories the world over (some say that literally every story is, at its core, the hero's journey). This can very much apply to how we create and run our tabletop RPGs, so join us as we delve into the parts that make up Act 1 of the hero's journey, which include The Ordinary World, The Call to Adventure, Refusing the Call, and The Mentor.
