Adragis did ask me for the GCSE/BTEC course list.

Also, again, it's easier for Adragis because he's actually attending a British high school to do the British system. Besides, it's irrelevant what system is used to begin with as this isn't meant to be realistic (I mean seriously, nobody notices Lieselotte's blue hair in the mundane school) and we're going to be doing almost nothing with the subjects and curriculum except using it as a topic of conversation. So whether or not we use the American, British or Ugandan system is entirely moot.

Of course, it's ultimately Adragis' decision as the GM which he'd prefer to use.

I was writing while you were editing.  No comment on your copypasta was intended.  Referencing the list I wrote.

As for the "easier for Adragis to do": That's why I volunteered to help.

Blue hair?  Not abnormal.  If a bit unexpected at a high end school.

People do all sorts of weird hair colors.
The dresses are more likely to draw comments.

Yes, Adragis is GM.  I'll go with what they say, but I have an opinion and firsthand knowledge.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Mmm.
I'm of the opinion that the game will go by quicker and be more fun if the GM knows what he's doing on the school side of things from his own experience and doesn't have to check with somebody that may not even be in his timezone or look up on Wikipedia or whatever when he's not sure how something works.
But, hey, that's just, like, my opinion, maaaan.

[TheBiggerFish]

Normal classes are flavor text.
The supernatural stuff is the actual thing about this game, which Adragis has a free hand in.
But for all that, I'd prefer the flavor text to be decently accurate.

...I'm debating making another character for some reason.

As an American myself, I can say without a doubt to not use the american class system. It sucks, it's disorganized, and usually they screw something up.

As for Flavor Text, It's Andragis' setting, He makes the rules <3

Where did you go to school?  So I can track them down and leave bad reviews.
But it really depends on the individual school about how good they are.  Eh.

Yes, I repeatedly said I will abide by Adragis' decision, you can stop telling me.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

But I think you still haven't gotten the message.

I WAS FUCKING WITH YOU FROM THE START

Blitz and his attempts at shitposting

But yeah, I dislike American school systems.

Personally, I disliked public school, though that might just be me being BOOORED with it all the time.
Private schools do significantly better, in my experience.  Which consists of exactly one sample but whatever.
As a side note, I mostly copied their courses for that list I threw up.
Certainly not in the same detail as they would have given though.

On the topic of whether to use American or British systems... who the fuck cares? It's only the electives we need to choose. (Also, in the American list, the foreign language classes don't seem to be required. They are.)

Only two years in most high schools?  Foreign language requirements are weird.
Eh.  There is one difference in that History is core in America but not in the UK?

That's... stupid to be honest. Everyone should be taught history.

Depends on the school, really. My school made History mandatory to around college-level. I ended up ditching it because I was sick of learning about the Cold War, which was my topic, and replacing it with Ancient History when I moved schools.

[TheBiggerFish]

"Your topic"?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

We have different courses depending on the school. Our school, instead of picking the much more interesting topic of the history of Medicine and early 20th century Germany, decided to pick the Cold War period.
