Rags-to-Riches

A story-design guide for developing rags-to-riches narratives in which a protagonist rises from poverty, obscurity, or powerlessness to prominence and achieves their ambitions. It covers the elements needed to structure this kind of story, including character development, a three-act framework, and three-phase campaigns with clear beginnings, middles, and ends. The material is intended for use with roleplaying games and other character-driven storytelling.
