Last year, Dan Wells, author of “I Am Not A Serial Killer” went over a story structure he found in the “Star Trek Narrator’s Guide: Roleplaying Game“, which he renamed as the 7-Point System. He generously shared his PowerPoint presentation which can be found here, but as usual, I felt having a summarized version would help:
