+Here are some of my thoughts on our Twine story guidelines
+
+## The Player ##
+* Should have global objects for $items, $events, $stats, and $skills that any
+  story could modify
+
+## Player Inventory ##
+* Global inventory items should be of the form
+* Per-story inventory items should be of the form
+* To pick up an item, use the <<action "Get {item}">>
+* To check if a player has already retrieved an item, either check the
+* $items['NAME'] value or check "visited("Get NAME")"
+* An item can be added to the global items hash with the following
+  $items['NAME'] = VALUE
+* A unique item, like "gearbox" or "sword", will have VALUE of true
+* When a unique items is used up or destroyed, set its value to false
+* Generic items that the player can have many of, like "gold" or "smallKey",
+  will have a numerical value
+
+## Player Stats and Skills ##
+* Are persistant between stories
+* Are stored as
+  $stat.{name} = {value}
+  $skill.{name} = {value}
+
+## The Hub ##
+* Should heal the player
+* Should be able to tell the player their stats/skills
+
+## Rules for all stories ##
+* All stories should have a path that leads back to the hub
+* Stories can NOT kill the player
+** Alternately, we could allow player death to 'port them to the Hub
+* Stories should not cause the player to lose or use up global objects
+** An exception to this could be gold or money
+* Should not decrease a stat or skill
