The topic for the Feb 6 Melee Academy is “fighting people better than you.”
Nuke ’em from orbit?
Having delved and fought, the party withdrew, replaced a Ranger with a Fighter, and then re-entered the following day. This time, the rogue approached silently and well, and managed to get the drop on the two kobolds who had brought their mastiffs to guard the entrance after the demise of the guardian hobgoblins the previous…
Had an interesting question from +Mark Langsdorf about a situation that arose in his Mecha Against the Giants campaign. A SM+2 mecha (6 tons, ST85, Basic Lift 0.72 tons) wanted to curb-stomp a downed giant leader. That leader is SM+4, weighs 12 tons, and is ST160. He’s also got Wrestling at DX+4, which is a +3 bonus per…
The Bestiary has cleared customs and now we just have to get it to the fulfillment center. A new draft and a new cover are on my desk and nearly finished the preliminary stage of production. Progress continues with other books too. Closed down the old WooCommerce site. Some popular blog posts. I shut down…
Thinking a bit more about S2E4 of the Aeon campaign, I can’t help coming back to how badly we biffed it, and still managed to pull it out because of a metagame ability – for which I paid many points – to ret-con a whole series of crap decisions. There are certain things you can’t…
Got these in the mail today. One two, hardbacks here before me That’s what I said now Drakul, his villainy abhors me He’ll kill you dead now . . . As typical for Night’s Black Agents, the book is meaty and gorgeous. Dracula Unredacted – a complete version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula with extra notes…

I hope you have something to contribute, fellow blogger!
No need for a full on blog post to answer this one: The answer is to bravely run away!
"How to flee like Sir Robin and not get eaten from behind" is your assignment, should you choose to accept it. If you have a blog, send me the link. If you don't, send me the post and I'll host it. 🙂
Nuke em from orbit, that's the only way to be sure. But if you lack a nuke then a flashbang may be just as good. Just don't let them win the initiative and don't let them survive the first round. But should they survive, make sure you have a load of lead flying their way so they don't dare raise their head from that hole the ducked it in to save their life and then quickly bring in the artillery on them.
That's pretty much my approach. A fair fight is what you say you had when you're in the bar afterwards.
