Attacks from Behind
Over at the SJG Forums, there’s a fairly involved thread about dealing with attacks from behind. So, with that: p. B374: An active defense is a deliberate attempt to avoid a particular attack.

GURPS Jade Regent: Partying in Fake Mongolia
We re basically recovering and shopping. We kicked the local ruler’s elite troops collective asses in games of skill. Horseback riding, archery, and wrestling.

But Alternate Dungeons takes this and attempts to come at you sideways. I strongly suspect, given…
Advantaged, Raw 1d20, and GURPS 3d6 (roll high)
I posted a bit on the merits of the Advantaged/Disadvantaged die roll mechanic that drew some nice commentary on Google+. Part of that was wondering out loud what 3d6, the GURPS basic resolution mechanism, would look like under the type of charts (% success vs. target number) that I used to generate the results. Good…

Next time you want to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.
If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back
At least you are aiming.
