The topic for the Feb 6 Melee Academy is “fighting people better than you.”
Nuke ’em from orbit?
We walk by Orsal’s house, flying casual. A mercenary is standing outside the house like he’s waiting for someone, and two nobles are there talking. “Is The Man here?” Yes. “The man has a nice house.” OK. We fail insight and history rolls. Not being thiefy, we decide to pass, and head to the Sheriff’s…
Thursday is GURPSDay, and we’re back into the swing of things We have a few new blogs on the rolls, and since May is GURPSDay recruiting month, I’m hoping to more than double the number of blogs we pull from over the next 6 weeks (faster would be better!). I’ve already received two new blogs, though…
Just a brief bit of narcissism: I find myself for the first time with two projects simultaneously at the printer. Hall of Judgment zipped through preproduction and prepress so fast it was dizzying. That print run of 500 will be ready on or about Aug 22. If you’re an “international backer,” meaning you’re outside the…
We follow the underground pathway for a bit longer, and eventually come to a small building area known as Crossroads. We’re met by a gnome in armor, with a golem of some sort, 10′ tall or so. For moral support. They discover (because we tell them) that they’ve come home, to Crossroads. A celebration…
This ο»Ώis a response to a post +Gerardo Tasistro made a bit ago about when time of flight matters in RPGs. He’s positing that it’s not enough to know when in a turn sequence you act, but sometimes it’s key to know when – sometime later – the consequences of your action actually occur. I started to…
The Raid: Redemption, a Technical Grappling Analysis SJG Forums user EskrimadorNC and I have been usefully and productively chatting about grappling in this thread on Arm Locks using the TG rules. He’s a big fan of the movie The Raid: Redemption and is currently doing for this fight what I did for Natasha Romanov…

can't wait for this one!
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. π
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.
