Today's #RPGaDay2016 prompt is: what was your group's funniest rule misinterpretation?
I don't know if this says more about my memory or my gaming group, but I'm struggling to think of any rules misinterpretations that we didn't just correct or handwave.
Most of the funny misinterpretations I can recall are like the Dread Gazebo; where there's a miscommunication or lack of understanding between GM and players. Sometimes it's just a simple slip-up that we latch onto and use to mess with the person making the error. We tried playing Rifts once, and the GM had pre-written character sheets for us rather than make us go through the agony of generating Rifts characters ourselves. His hasty writing was difficult to read, and amongst our belongings were a "snipper rifle" and a "geiser counter". Obviously these became a running gag, and items that showed up in other games. All part of the rich tapestry of shared references for nerd social cohesion.
