Nuke ’em from orbit?
Welcome to the second year of GURPSDay, and here’s the final pull for you guys. We’re currently drawing content from 81 blogs. Only 19 more to go until we’re pulling from 100! But we’ll need your help. How? Two action items: post more, recruit more. It’s really that simple. More posters is more posts, and more…
Today while doing a home improvement project I had occasion to walk around the house with a dueling version of the venerable “Ten Foot Pole” from Dungeons and Dragons. Well, not too much – the pole was nine feet long. Boy was it a pain in the butt. My basement has ceilings that range from seven…
As part of gearing up for my Alien Menace campaign, I’m populating the organization to which the PCs belong. I thought I’d throw open the doors to interesting characters from pretty much anywhere. While I’ve got a small combat team that will do the bulk of the real adventuring, there are going to be lots…
A question on reddit had me thinking. It was asking about swinging a sword in a confined environment, one yard wide. Another commenter noted – and I agree – that no, you can’t swing sideways, but you certainly can use the vertical, if the ceiling is tall enough. Then I thought: Overhead Strike Seen very…
Howdy! I’m back from possibly the worst travel itinerary I’ve had inflicted on me in my 17 years working at my company. From Thailand to Minneapolis, I sat in hotel rooms or airport layovers for 36 hours, while actually moving from place to place in cars and airplanes for perhaps 24 hours. I am pretty…
It’s once again Monster Monday, and today we’ve got some monsters of the human variety for you.

I hope you have something to contribute, fellow blogger!

"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.
