Advice for the Evil Overlord:
If a scientist with a beautiful and unmarried daughter refuses to work for me, I will not hold her hostage. Instead, I will offer to pay for her future wedding and her children's college tuition.
Advice for the Hero:
I shall arrange my personal affairs so that it doesn't matter if someone learns my secret identity.
Advice for the Bad Auxiliary Character (Evil Genius):
I will not transplant my mind into the Hero's brain when my test monkey is still in the laboratory.
Advice for the Good Auxiliary Character (Good Guy's One True Love):
I will save my ethical dilemmas for times when I don't have an enemy at gunpoint.
Further Evil (Advice for the Evil Empress):
If I am competing with other Overlords, Empresses and High Priests for ultimate domination, I will assume they have access to this and other lists and the brains to listen to them.

Murphy's Laws of Combat:

  • Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone.
  • If your ambush is properly set, the enemy won't walk into it.
  • The bursting radius of a grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range.
