It would be so great to be able to use this at meetings.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Isn't that rather a lot of 'splaining when you could just say, "A flaming cow falls from the sky!"

I have used the flaming cow falling from the sky, and had it used on me. Actually, it's kind of a fun way to design an encounter -- a flaming cow flies into the party. Why?
Most of the time, with most players, we don't need a CTRL Z. And even with really stupid tricks that turn out not to work, we can live with the consequences.
I've had two incidences (back under D&D 2.0), where a particular fight led to a TPK, which each time prompted the DM to open the next session with the words, "Okay. You all wake up from the terrible shared nightmare where you all died."
I had one Shadowrun session where Joe had to do a retcon for something that would have severely messed up my spellcaster, after we all remembered *several* minutes after the fact that my character has been invisible, and that couldn't have happened that way.
