Sunday, Bloody Sunday.

Damn you, now I'm forced to listen to this song again.

Anything wrong with putting it here? PM if it's too wierd (considering our standards, wierd has to be very wierd). Won't be on TS for a while.

Nothing wrong with putting it here, just less likely to have people go "You forgot about this" anywhere else haha.

Anyways, Jackie joined us with his Griffon character with a ton of headcanon we decided to roll with. Mainly that after a contract gone wrong and most of his group was killed, Kage found himself among a Deer tribe that taught him their ways, which was mainly spirit magic. At first the totems wasn't a problem, everybody got one that if memory serves gave +1 to Luck and +1 to your lowest Special. If you had two the same level than the one of your choice.
After Jackie killed Kage off he actually introduced a Deer character and from there we jump to season 2 where most can agree the problem was at.

As a Griffon, Kage was limited to what he could do with totems, and while there was still limitations stated, Deers had free run of what kind of totems they could make or have. Since I have yet to re-read through Season 2 my memory is lacking, but the others are always happy to bring up "batman-totems" because one of the deer characters had a pouch full of totems that just so happened to always have what we needed. While never getting as ridiculous as bat-shark repellent, the bag of totems pretty much eliminated most out of combat tension. 
"We need to start a fire and nobody has a match, lighter, or even flint and steel."
"I have a totem for that!"

"We're low on fresh water and need to get some more soon."
"Don't worry, this totem can purify X gallons of water a day!"

We was all guilty of power gaming in some form or another in the first two seasons, me especially, but for whatever reason the totems has drawn the most ire over time.

There's other details I have left out, but that was the problem with totems in the old RPs, nearly anything you wanted, when you wanted, with no noticeable drawbacks for using them and got to the point of eye-rolling when they was brought up.

None of my 'cool' or 'tense' moments had any weight because you guys always found the most optimal route around them.

You have to assume that your players won't follow your plan.

Confront them with a bad guy that you want them to do business with?
They'll kill him.

Lock them in a house with a carefully planned way out?
They'll burn it down.

Tell them they have to resurrect a character?
They'll discuss it for an hour and pick an ancillary character they liked.

"Alright guys, here's a resurrection spell. It works one time on anyone, including those from a character's backstory. This should totally cause some infighting. "
"... Screw that, we chose to skip on it. "
"... Fuck you guys then, I'm bringing back my own character."
"Dude wasn't she a unicorn?"
"She can fly now."

No no no. They'll come to a concensus on that in five minutes. Decide it's a trap and pick a character to bring back that they have no qualms about killing.

They'll argue for an hour over who wants to stand on the self sacrifice pedastel.

You forgot blowing off an NPC's head rather than make a trade with the villain.

To be fair we'd already killed one that day.

Yes, that's how Izumi came back with wings.

I find myself very glad I barely remember half of these things... and very disappointed that you all remember.

Eh, most of our shenanigans in Meadows Ford comes from Zebras summoning things. Just waiting for a couple of more <10> until something hilariously terrible happens. The worst threat at the moment would be Flashpoint's GF.

Hm, interesting. I wonder if it would be practical to have a background character with that in Asylum?
