I think it is a good video The pattern certainly is memorable, and could do well to assist both writers and role-players in how they wish for their heroes to develop if they get stuck.

It was an interesting video. It's not the best explanation of Campbell's hero cycle I've ever heard, but it was presented well, and I feel like if you don't walk into it with some background knowledge of the mythic hero cycle, this is a lot more helpful. If your high-school English class already covered this, however, there's not much to glean from it.

I love looking back over a meandering story I've written and being able to tie the hero cycle into it. Even if you don't know where the story is going when you start writing, it will still probably fit the cycle if you know what you're doing, which is pretty darn cool.

Anyway, although this isn't a complete explanation, it's definitely something for those just starting out with RPing or writing to take a look at, and learn from.

Thanks for sharing!

Edit: Is it a slow forum day? I'm the last poster on all 3 top forum threads in this forum section right now, and 2 of those were made yesterday.

Yep, no problem. This actually was meant for those of us who are just starting out, I figured this would help spark some ideas in others.

Yeah it has been slow in the forums, for a while now actually. I wish there was some way to get this place some more traffic. The whole site seems kind of dead some days - and I'm not talking that everyone is busy, just that I hardly seem any one around these parts unless they are looking for others to RP with. Does this make sense?
