Plot Coupon.
And apparently it really ticks off players (some players, sometimes). But as a GM its always been good for me. I guess its OK to use so long as they arent obvious. And if each one has a practical use or sentimental value, they stop being coupons and turn into Mcguffins.

Interesting, I've always known them as story elements. :)

Every story element thats ever been done has some sort of cute description and standard definition. Which is kind of annoying if you think about it.
