You had me sold at FECKIN' VAMPIRE.

[Draignean]

Lawas, if my entire elevator pitch was FECKIN' GOBSHITE, you'd have been sold.

That occurred to me as I waited for my post to post... I apologise for the lack of constructively critical feedback

Bloody cheesemeister...

Well, my testing thread earlier taught me that I didn't want to run a game, despite having found a nifty system, so... perhaps I'll do another one of those test games. A small full game with the rules I have now.

Interesting basis. Mechanically, there should be some amount of crossover between the courses taken and fighting monsters. Taking psychology? If you do well in it, you can gain a resistance to insanity, bonuses to curing allies of insanity/assesing one's mental state, and maybe even bonuses to mentally affecting enemies with magic (if casting magic's a thing in the system). If you fail biology, you might forget that the heart is on the body's LEFT side, not the center, and stab a vampire in the wrong place. Not all classes would have benefits. Mathematics is useless...unless you encounter a sphinx of something.

Eh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the heart is actually in the center. People only say it's in the left side because it's slightly to the left. The offset is very small though so for most intents and purposes, you want to stab basically in the center.

Here's a picture to show what I mean. (Though it's unfortunately an artist's rendition so you might not be as convinced)

EDIT: It seems like the picture was removed from the internet so the image has disappeared. Draignean has a better image below.

Here's a handy radiograph! (Warning, it contains breast shadow, so ye of innocent mind turn your gaze away)

Anyway, the game isn't really structured quite like that. Classes are abstracted, and your general fields are divided down into Knowledge, Might, Tech, and Savvy. I'm still tweaking the rules and explanations, so you'll see what I mean.

Showing such a scandalous image on a public forum? Have you no shame?!

Mmmm... Ghost Boob...

*AHEM* I mean, I'm strictly posting it to better OceanSoul's education!

If that's the case, then failing in biology would mean you try to stake a vampire TOO far to the left. If I made that mistake, then it must be particularly reasonable.

It doesn't come up a lot in media, but every anime I've ever seen it be relevant in seems to place it squarely within the left side of the chest.

Are you Ready for College? (Totally and completely without monsters)

Well, if any is interesting in groping vampire chests (Ostensibly to find the heart) in another experimental mechanics system, come on board! It's an absolute mess, but I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it.

Seems like it may be an issue with my computer. On the phone the image still exits (that was what I originally posted it with), but on my computer it doesn't show up. When I decided to follow the link (from my computer), it took me to a health website that had several pictures but not the one I was looking for. I then concluded that it had disappeared.

[Chiefwaffles]

From my inexperienced point of view, that sounds mildly like you have adware on your computer.

Most likely image was removed soon after he posted and now it is cached on phone.
