The topic for the Feb 6 Melee Academy is “fighting people better than you.”
Nuke ’em from orbit?People on the SJG Forums still reference the work I did a while ago on bullet statistics conversion from real-world data. The fact is, the equations for weapon penetration did not change form 3e to 4e, and where there are some real issues with scaling weapons, the derivation of penetration is the same, and (more…
Oh, yes. I’m gonna make me some Durkon Thundershield. Well, a 5th Edition Cleric of the Tempest, anyway. But that’s basically what I’m going for here. Well, he’s human. But still . . . Durkon Lankyshield! As the author notes in his wonderful document, nobody gets +2 to Wisdom, so the you have to choose among three races…
Welcome to Gaming Ballistic, March 2014 host of the RPG Blog Carnival. The topic for March is “Virtual Table-Tops – Impact on Games and Gaming.” As I thought of my history of gaming, first playing with a single friend in 1981 or so (Dungeons and Dragons, of course), through the years I’ve played with groups…
I interviewed +Steve Jackson, who of course wrote and published the game system for which I write, GURPS. +Jeffro Johnson said nice things about the interview. Steve and I covered a lot of ground, much of which could have elicited an even larger response than I made during the interview itself. I’m going to excerpt parts of the…
We see action coming out of the manor as we start out. Ten spearmen, a couple of men-at-arms, and a few carts and wagons. We decide to anticipate them heading to Lervin, so we can set an ambush at the bridge (B) from Lervin to Phandalin – the route with the best road. We guess…

"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.
