Dr Who gets it right: The right situation in a variety of circumstances is "Run!"
That's for when Daleks or gods or the family of blood is actively trying to kill you. Or nearly anyone with a gun.
In other circumstances: Deescalate. Talk. Keep talking. Get them talking. When they are talking, they aren't shooting at you. When they are listening, they aren't talking.
Run. Defuse.
Those are the best self-defense strategies.

I also really like that initiative order in the Doctor Who RPG: "Talkers, Runners, Doers, Fighters". Anyone who is talking acts first, then anyone running, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat initiative thing is so so so good.
