Plan A Three Act Campaign Arc From A One Line Pitch
You have the pitch and nothing else, and session one is booked. This expands it into a full premise, splits the campaign into three acts with beats and rough session counts, and flags the midpoint turn and the thread you need to plant early so act three pays off.

**Plan** a three act campaign arc from the pitch below.

4. Name one thread that should be planted in act one and pay off in act three.
