The basis is this -- you have a constant number of points (I was thinking 27 because it is a good magic number) spread out amongst a series of characters and stories. You can move these points from one character to another. But there is one character which is "you--" and all other characters have to be similar to or different from in specific ways. (I was thinking "share one trait or opposite of two.")

As a storyteller, you are trying to get people to invest points in your story, because it can only end happily if you get someone to invest as many points as you did. You then get some beneficial return. Anyone can start a story by dropping a large number of points onto it.

But also, whichever character has the most points invested into becomes what the "you" really is.
