With proper role-playing all around, and a decent backstory, a cross-over game could be great fun, so I vote "yes."
However, I also recognize that it would require much more work on the part of the Storyteller. I've done cross-over games with friends, and it was far more difficult than a normal game. Add in the complications of doing it online, and well... We'd need someone masochistic committed enough to make it work.

I'm in total agreeance with Red on this on. The idea is great but Werewolves are tanks and Mages I'm not even goin to touch that one. And "god" help us if Demons are included. Vampire and humans sure. But beyond that its down right ridiculous.

I haven't met the crossover game yet that didn't end in disaster, but sure, why not? I'll sign on for this. And I think I have just the perfect Mage for this game.
Heh, heh, heh. twisted

I voted yes also, for I've just played successful mage/vampire game. Well, it causes troubles later on both sides, but that is just interesting gaming.
Cross-over works, if balanced and taken care of by GM with no desire to stab anyone at the eye with rulebook and squirt dices into eye sockets. So.. with flexibility and subconscious thought that it should not be that much matter of life and death... hell yes.

Schutzhund and Redford have made the best points thus far, Story has to be the primary concern here, not just Supernatural Prowess of the characters.

It's a good bookMy biggest fear with crossover games is not the fighting between the two, it's people going a little far with it. In a lot of game discussions on Gaia I've noticed that a lot of people have played as or "are" playing as some cross breed. Between the tame: Lasombra/Tremere mixes to the exceedingly rare: Sidhe/Toreador to the ******** impossible: Brujah/Defiler/Red Talon/Cult of Ecstasy/Martyr White Wolf made it clear that these things weren't to be done for a reason; to prevent powergamers. As a storyteller asking me to play something like this is strike one. Insisting is strikes 2 and 3, you'll be kicked out. Pure and simple. This is just one of my pet peeves.

I don't think that will be a problem in this guild.

shadowkaos1 I don't think that will be a problem in this guild. Praise Raptor Jesus. While playing an Abomination is tempting and I know we all want to be the one Fae that was embraced and kept their arts, let's face it, these characters make much better NPC's.

I know I've been more a lurker then an actual contributor to this guild, but I'd like to see a crossover game get up and running, to the extent I'd even get off my lazy backside and roll up something for it.
Maybe Garou kinfolk *hrrms*

Hmm... Toryn Ainmire brings up an interesting thought. Maybe the best way to balance out power levels and explain why so many different beings are all working together would be to have a bunch of demi-humans. Vampiric ghouls, Garou kinfolk, Changeling kinain, maybe a psychic or linear magician from Mage. Or a modern-day inquisitor, if it should strike someone's fancy...
Maybe they are test subjects in a Technocratic facility, captured separately, and manage to escape. Any other suggestions how such a group might come about?
Right now, my Demon game is inactive due to minimal members, so I might be willing to ST this monstrosity. I have the books for it, too, if anyone should be lacking. What do the rest of you think; would you be interested in a ghoul/kinfolk/sorcerer/kinain(/inquisitor?) game?

Somehow, I'm not very found of ghoul etc. game, but subject is interesting and setting there too.
Mainly I was going to grasp the thing NuclearOops said. All those years I've played, there has not been a player that wanted to make Sidhe/Toreador type characters. Other wild and quite terrible concepts has been seen, but not cross breeds. Goodbad powergamer will find a way to boost up his/hers character to the top inside one genre.
I think that cross breeding is more a problem to fantasy and anime players. Half-elf dragons, demonic dragon black elves and vampire hybrids are more common where is no clear set of rules or general boundaries. When imagination can run free among young (don't take offense anyone) people it usually hits the wall quite heavily and we see those brainfarts described earlier.

Schutzhund makes a good point about its origins in fantasy. Dungeons & Dragons, where cross-breeds seem more common than pure-blooded species, is probably the originator of this idea, since the rules system there is practically built for power-gaming.
White Wolf, on the other hand, is very adamant about how the different supernatural races cannot be combined, and as Daidoji has mentioned in another thread, the one NPC to actually break that rule was punished by being soul-forged into an ashtray for all eternity.
Then again... There are such things as Enthralled Mages, Enthralled Ghouls, Ghouled Mages, Kinfolk Mages, Ghouled Kinfolk, Enthralled Kinain etc.
