These things can't always be predicted. Talking things over ahead of time is not necessarily going to cover specific triggers either, but only broad areas such as amount of more mature content. If something does come up, who would want to interrupt the game and let other players know why this particular scenario is distressing?There seems to be a lot of criticism around the idea of one player dictating a game's direction, as if players are going to be continually tapping that card to just get what they want, or to what? Deliberately disrupt the game? This is not placing extra work on the GM, or ruining other players fun, or catering to a select few "entitled cry babies". This is a useful tool, especially for groups who don't know each other. I have never heard of any incidents where the X card was disruptive, or used in a selfish manner. It's a good tool, and it is disheartening seeing so much contempt for it on this thread.</blockquote>
