GURPS Day postponed to later in the week for me. But instead, I give you four interesting articles about how to stab people with swords, courtesy of linkage to Trovare de Spada

Arm Lock as a combat technique has had a long and somewhat storied history in GURPS. As a result of a Forum thread (that I’m not going to link to here; it’s not the point) I went back and looked at commentary and execution on the technique since 4e came out in 2004. It’s worth…
