[edit] Merger

Storytelling System should be the main article for this page, with this page working as a #redirect Storytelling System since this article, and the current system is called that title. "Storyteller System" is a defunct name. -WildElf 19:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

In fact the Storytelling System is in fact a succesor to the Storyteller System. In discussion forums they are frequently referred to as new World of Darkness (nWoD) and old World of Darkness (oWod) respectively, as these are the settings both systems are mainly used in. -RoadRunner84 18:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the system describtion should be larger, like in the Storytelling System article. I'll start, but would aprechiate, if someone would pick up. Heinrich k 09:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Reviewing both articles, I think they should be consolidated into one, showing the history of the evolution of the system. A redirect should be from the Storyteller System to Storytelling System. The Dungeons & Dragons page I think is a good example how it can turn out. Turlo Lomon 12:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, especially since this article is small and one is an extension of the other. Web Warlock 14:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the fact that the Storyteller System and Storytelling system are two distinct systems needs to be made clearer. The Storyteller system is NOT a 'defunct' system, it is merely an earlier and different system, but one that is still played by a large fraction percentage of gamers. As such (and since they are different in significant ways) the wiki should, imho, contain information about both systems, and not simply ignore the earlier system in favor of the newer one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.153.22 (talk) 03:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe the differences should be highlighted in the description of the system. Right now, I am working on writing up the history with references to show notability. Turlo Lomon 05:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The character creation and game mechanics sections currently contain rules and mechanics from both systems with no distinction between the two. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 06:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the character creation section. I'll let someone more familiar with the Storyteller System clean up the game mechanics section. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
