[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5392703, member: 23935"] I like it more conceptually than I would in play. In addition to the possible time sink aspect previously discused, there is the potential to sideline the current situation when the DM uses the words but doesn't mean to trigger a flashback. "The lich attcks with the glowing orb!" "Hey That reminds me of something!" "OK we'll pause the critical battle while we play out this flashback." As a player, it would be wasted on me. When I'm listening to the DM, I'm paying attention to the information in the communication and updating my mental model of events. There is no way I would be able to keep "tuned" to parsing verbal exchanges for key words while trying to determine what was relevant for my character in the DM descriptions. This is exacerbated by the dictum to not share your set of key words with others so I can't take advantage of how others process information to pick up on a cue I miss. I may remember the first session but would never refer to the sheet again. [/QUOTE]
