To me it's not so much the character sheets that are important, it's what is the "history of the world". People have been so stuck on "New Jerusalem" in ISTG/MR or playing in the "real world" as in LH for so long it would be a "I want it my way" scenerio.

Personally, I'm a tradition VtM player.. they built a good game and didn't change as either game has changed for reasons (although there are somethings that definetly are... um.. wonky)

yeah I'm actually not ok w/ a reset,(mainly because we just did one and it wouldnt be fair to our current players in LH that just made new characters and concepts) However I think that it's possible to "tone down" sheets to make them fit into a world that has a lower power base for those who have been playing along time. I mean I understand the paper dick, but really.... there is no need for roleplaying to have that large of a dick unless you just want to "Rollplay"

:)

I like to use the word dick... can you tell.

Didn't see this until now.
There are some differences in the way each game plays, but, honestly, it's not as much as you would think. I fully believe that a merger would only make the game stronger. Give us all more diversity. Open more possibilities. Provide more roleplaying opportunities.
The question of how to make it work is really academic. If both sides approach it with an open mind and a willingness to make it work, then I think we'll be able to make it work.
Right now the ST's of both games are throwing ideas around. We'll see what comes out of it. Really, what I feel, however, is that it is up to the players to decide. Ultimately, it is their game---or games, as the case may be. What we as the ST's are trying to provide right now is a proposal of how a merger of the two games might come about and how it might work. So we welcome all of your oppinions. It was great before when we all played together. Those of us who were there know how it was, and how it could be again. What we are all looking for here is to make the game better, not to take anything away from each other. I haven't been to this site for a while, but if anyone has any comments/questions, I will do my best to come here more regularly and answer them.
Thanks,
