The topic for the Feb 6 Melee Academy is “fighting people better than you.”
Nuke ’em from orbit?
Quick note. I worked with GoDaddy to get some site maintenance done over the weekend. I’m finally on PHP7, which caused me issues when I wasn’t after the new year. Also, I now have print and PDF copies of the TFT books from Five Perilous Journeys up for sale on the GB Store. Was only…
This is Asgard. This is Zootopia City. This is Idris Elba And so is this There is no possible way these are coincidences. Otherwise, very fun movie, but probably requires an emotionally robust child to see it. There’s some tense stuff in there, but overall: glad I bought it.
We pick up immediately after a fireball and a command to cease fighting. They ask which of us in charge, and we muddle. We decide that the paladin has the most moral authority, Keyar the arrow-happy elf is the most decisive, and Carmina tries to keep us from getting killed a lot. They tell us…
Thursday is GURPSDay, and after thinking about the concept of encouraging more Roll and Shout when doing Quick Contests last week, I ended on a cliffhanger saying that I thought there’d be a good way to adjudicate guns combat a bit faster.

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.

That's pretty much my approach. A fair fight is what you say you had when you're in the bar afterwards.
