Mixing the oWoD and nWoD

I have played both system and sometimes when I play oWoD I miss things from the nWoD and vice versa. I miss the merits and flaw system and the camarilla from oWoD. And I miss the covenants and the new attributes (such as presence) when I play VtM. The changes of the clans is both good and bad.

Now...is there anyone playing a game or GM-ing a game that is a mix of the both? because that would be cool. And not too difficult. It could be small things like allowing VtM malkavians in a VtR game. Or applying the dice pool system of nWoD to a game with a VtM setting.

I'm not trying to make a nWoD vs oWoD-thread. We have already had two of those. I am looking for your ideas of how to combine the best of the two systems. Or if it's possible at all.

Re: Mixing the oWoD and nWoD

From what I understood about when I tried to look through V:tR, they wanted to try and make all the old stuff possible to construct...but anyway, maybe not what you are looking for.

From nWoD, I loved their combat system and the way that Attributes are supposed to be handled. I liked the whole Application-Defense-Resistence angle to the three attributes for each category. I'm sure you can take that and apply that to oWoD (In case of Presence, just replace it with Appearance. Ta-Daa!) Of course, that would mean changing a few things, like the Nosferatu=0 appearance thing, no biggie.

I liked the rolling system in nWoD, as well.

From oWoD, in the instances of vampires, I'd keep the abilities, clans, and disciplines. Just replace relevant attributes needed for each discipline with the nWoD attributes.

But I have no experience mixing either, so I don't know how well it would work out.

Re: Mixing the oWoD and nWoD

Actually you do Deadpool.

City of Decay allows players to take elements from VtR for the characters, I don't personally know if anyone has done it, but its quite possible...say a Tremere can learn Crone rituals.
