Do We Need an SF2E General?

[moosher12]

Right now the Starfinder general chat is applying to both Starfinder 1E and Starfinder 2E. With Galaxy Guide out, more conversation is going to be made involving Starfinder 2E independent of the playtest. Should a new segment be broken off to divide Starfinder 1E discussion from Starfinder 2E at this point? Or should we wait until the Starfinder Player Core's release?

I assumed it would have to happen eventually, and yeah, I kind of thought the first published book would be the moment it happened.

My guess is they'll wait until the core books are out, yeah.

There's also the fact that Starfinder just has a smaller audience than Pathfinder does, so there's less traffic on this forum overall. There may not be as much need to make as many different forums.

I think they should though. I imagine that there will be more SF2E discussion than SF1E discussion, and it seems courteous to give folks wanting to talk about 1E a spot where there threads won't be swamped out by people talking about the newest release.

A Starfinder Second Edition General would also make it, in the long run, MUCH easier to find relevant posts when doing searches.

Otherwise, if you search for something, you'll get all the 1st and 2nd edition postings, then have to wade through the mess to figure out which relate about 1st edition and which relate to 2nd edition.

I wasn't in the forums when pf2e dropped, so others could speak with authority, but I assume all that specific delineation and segregation would happen this summer when the edition actually drops.
