Two parties One game

Hey guys i am looking at running two parties inside of one game for the fact that i have all my tables etc within it already ~ Can anyone point out any problems this may cause other than being able to see all the same shared material ? (Unless i specifically add who can see who) The sessions will be on separate days.

The only problem I can think of is having players from one session logging into your game during the other players' session.  You don't have a good way to keep them out.  You could certainly drag them all to a holding page (separate from the ribbon), but you won't be able to prevent them from being in the chat.

The main thing that might happen is getting confused with which group did which thing in their sessions. A cool thing is that if you have everything setup to go (tables, sheets, and anything else) you could copy the game which creates a duplicate of the game then you could run groups separately but with only doing the setup work once.
Copying the game sounds like a sound idea i completely overlooked that setting ! Thanks alot :)

No problem. I do that for many games that use the same setting and rules. I create the core game then make a copy for each group.
Many years ago I was playing in a game. Table top. 6 Pc's in that game. One night the game ended after only a few hours. We were playing 2x per week but after the abrupt stop we didn't play for several weeks. It took the DM that long to get a night when (if I remember right 14 players) could gather. One of the players on my night had started an argument with a player of another night. By the end of that session the dynamics of both parties had changed. But I must say that was a great session. Good luck
