Following the tradition of pragmatic eclecticism, "Crux Desperationis" journal is seeking to meld various self-defense methods together into a unified conceptual whole. With reference to the stylistic chauvinism that had been displayed by some of their predecessors in this field, the editors simply endeavoured to harmoniously gather the really practical methods of literary defense, whatever their origin, and especially to combine them into an international journal.
The system displayed by "Crux Desperationis" is notably non-scientific and largely eschewed the more typical 2000s approach to self-promoting writing, which is to present the reader with a series of individual “tricks” or literary techniques. Instead, "Crux Desperationis" presents their readers with a comprehensive progression of fighting methods and writing tactics, with an emphasis upon combative practicality.
