Gott in Himmel! I thought we already HAD an argument on this topic...we don't
need another. (If, WNEUMANN, you are curious as to how the discussion went,

Further, I never said I thought the techno-totem was a good idea; I just said
I know gamemasters who would be spiteful enough to do it to their players.
