As pointed out [https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/how-mythologist-joseph-campbell-made-luke-skywalker-a-hero-1.5262649 here], the Hero's Journey is about the Hero - it leaves no room for contrasting points of view or the involvement of a [[deuteragonist]] in the story. Thus, it is a poor choice for a narrative structure in any cooperative work (such as a [[tabletop RPG]]). |

If everyone is thinking that they're the hero, then there's no possibility of thinking with compassion from the point of view of other people who are experiencing completely different stories as you are."|Sean Hood, screenwriting teacher at the University of Southern California}} |
