I know there are books written on this subject but I just haven't read any of them. I'm no expert, but my favorite comment on it is that it's not so much a rule as an observation. A story that makes sense is obviously going to establish stuff before using it (Act 1), and obviously going to escalate a conflict (Act 2) before resolving it (Act 3). --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:930756423] in Why are tr...
