The topic for the Feb 6 Melee Academy is “fighting people better than you.”
Nuke ’em from orbit?While we were playtesting the Action Point rules for The Last Gasp, we ran through a boxing match. Or rather, one of my playtesters ran through a boxing match. The AP rules worked well, encouraging fighters to take standing 8-counts, lots of recovery actions, and generally making it take longer to fight. All well and…
Thursday is GURPSDay, wow, the kiddos all over were recovering from what was clearly a most excellent sugar rush, accompanied by the following sugar manic and sugar crash. Chaos all over this morning, with empty parking lots at work, clearly due to vampiric action. Yesterday I tested the Perception skills of the children coming to…
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…
July 7, 2016: Thank GURPS It’s Thursday? Thursdays have always been great for GURPS fans because that’s when new digital items are uploaded. But lately Thursdays have been even better. Every Thursday since January, GURPS Martial Arts: Technical Grappling author (and big-time GURPS fan) Douglas Cole has been consolidating various blog posts that pertain to GURPS. Each week offers dozens of new posts from throughout cyberspace…
Thursday is GURPS-Day, and this one might be the shortest content-containing GURPS-Day post ever. +Christopher R. Rice and I were chatting about character templates for a project that we’re involved in. I was musing that we should maybe, instead of a set template, allow something like “50 points in ST and HT, 60 points in DX…

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.
