Rules that aren't, Mistaken imperatives Options

[Churl Beck]

Since every topic has been done to death, I'm trying for something new. The object is to find a sentence or two in a rules section of the book and interpret it as literally as possible. The more ridiculous the new rule, the better. For example:


"Nothing thrills a hacker like cracking open a secure network while his shadowrunner comrades blast away at security guards all around him." (p. 230) The gamemaster must be strict in enforcing this rule.

"Each Combat Turn is 3 seconds long (so there are 20 Combat Turns per minute)." (p. 132) All players must roll initiative, declare and resolve actions within 3 seconds or else lose their action.

"During the Combat Turn, each player--starting with the fastest--takes turns describing his character's action and rolls dice to see how well he performs it." (p. 132) The fastest player is determined before the game begins by means of a footrace.

"A contact may introduce a new character at virtually any time and place." (p. 269) Roll 2D6 and consult the Random Time and Place Table. Roll another 2D6 and consult the Random Cosby Table.
