do we need a different board for SFS GM Discussion?

[Take 10]

yeah, it's a silly question... maybe...

but, given that the rules are different, should we have/do we need a different board for SFS GM Discussions? or do we preface each board posting Title with "PFS" or "SFS"?

[Hmm]

At this point I like having a united board for GM discussion, but a) I am weird and b) I am a librarian well versed in the search function.

Hmm

[Woran]

I like that they are together. As lomg as people use clear titles for their threads it should be no problem.

[Sebastian Hirsch]

With proper titles, I see no advantage to a separate board.

[Gary Bush]

I would like to see a separate forum for Pathfinder and Starfinder.

But I believe the direction that Paizo is going is that both are Organized Play so GM Discussion fall under that heading.

[GM Lamplighter]

Is there anyone *not* playing Starfinder who still wants the boards together? (Not to be unpatriotic here, but I already have my "Pathfinder in Space" game already, so I haven't really rushed to Starfinder yet.)

Another thing to consider: There are coming up on a decade of threads that just say "#X-YY" as the scenario title, and we will start to see overlaps as Starfinder Society continues. I know the idea is probably to cross-promote both games (as Gary suggested), but the GM discussion section might not be the right place for that. There's already enough stuff to weed through that I don't want, without adding other material with the same numbering system.

When every post need to be prefixed with SFS, it is a good indication that a second board is appropriate. That said, I use the search function for most my time here so the clutter isn't a bother. (I do not play SFS, yet).

[Terminalmancer]

I concur that given the overlap of scenario numbers, it's probably a good idea to have two separate threads. But I'll be fine either way I think.

Pending website improvements could render this moot by, say, providing handy tags that appear in the listing before each title. We could preface each thread with PFS or SFS to distinguish in such a system and everything would still be fine.

I would prefer to see them split as the PFS & SFS RP Guild boards are split.

[Talon Stormwarden]

I would also like to see the GM boards split. They are two different games, with different scenarios. I have no interest in SFS and so would prefer to have the ability to shut that board off into a closed category that I never have to look at again (unless I change my mind at some point).

[Fromper]

I would also prefer to keep them separate, even though I do both. We have separate subforums for Starfinder rules, advice, general discussion, and organized play, so why not the GM subforum, too?

[whew]

Whenever I come to GM Discussion, I am looking for a specific scenario, and I'll already know if it's SFS or not. I'm confidant that I'll never need to do a search that spans both, so I don't see any benefit to having them mixed together.

[Pirate Rob]

Keeping them both together is easier for me.
