* PersonalityPowers: Shows up in two different forms
** In Season 3, the residents of Ilium get "Totems" ghostly animals that help them and what animal each character gets is connected to their personality.
** Season 4 introduces Conduits, a single concept that the character exemplifies which gives them powers related to that concept.



** In Season 2, variations on the phrase: "He gives you fingerguns. You have no technological context for what they mean, but you like 'em."Eventually this becomes a common way of casting spells. Taken to it's logical extreme in Season 6 where [=S1m0n's=] Conduit of Gun allows him to shoot ''actual bullets'' from his fingers.

* DirtyCop: They become a reoccurring recurring villain type from Season 3 onward, with characters like Gylan and Graves.Graves.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Largely due to Stoneroot being their first foray into actual play, there are some notable differences between it and later seasons.
** Stoneroot is the only main season where Austin isn't the GM. This also makes it the only main season where Austin is a player.
** The theme music stays the same for the entire season.
** The Hunger is the only form to [[spoiler:take on a physical avatar for a final boss fight.]]
** Stoneroot is the only season where the party [[spoiler:unambiguously loses at the end.]]
** Compared to later seasons, Stoneroot has very little impact on the setting going forward, presumably since [[spoiler:it ends with said setting being devoured by Gorfinax and is only re-settled much later.]]



* FantasticRacism: It is briefly mentioned that Anne is from the "halfling ghetto." In season 2 the running joke of this is "you all look the same to me." Applied pretty universally to every class. Leon is especially guilty of this because Violet thinks Unicorns are better than everyone and in season 3, Bumbershoot Von Victrola thinks vampires are better than everyone. Dora is referred to by an other sylvan creature as a "drowner".
