The 12 basic quests

JRRNeiklot said:
There are only 2 plots:

1: A man goes on a journey.
2. a stranger walks in the door.

Joseph Campbell would boil those down to one basic one...

Hero learns his quest.
Hero Resists going
Mentor gives him token power
Hero leaves on quest
Hero confronts challenges
Hero Learns the Truth
Hero Copes with Truth
Hero faces his nemesis
Hero returns home changed/Hero sacrifices self to save others

There might be other steps, its been a while since my 1,000 faced journey.
