Request a do-over of a scene
Sometimes a scene stalls because of a bad write-up of a beginning and then several boring challenges afterwards. It would be nice if there was a "redo scene" button, of course with all the players consent because it's also their writing that will be reverted.
This would help reinvigorate old games, ones that got off to a good start and then ends with a sub-par scene which would have been better off just scrapping and starting the scene-that-messed-things-up over again.

Agreed. There's been a new game where a new player got painted into a situation she didn't intend, and if play continued it would have been harder and harder to fix. We ended up creating another scene and ending the "bad scene" immediately at the loss of the cards played (which has advantages and consequences.)
I would suggest this as a Host command (so no one narrator could shanghai the game progress in a rotating narrator environment), and consent of the players involved (if a player isn't in a scene, they don't need to consent) being mandatory before the button works. If a player disagrees, then the host can abort the action. This can help save a game from being abandoned as a Retired game.
