A separate LFG forum for D&D/Pathfinder

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been hoping to find a new group for L5R or Numenera, and I've noticed a few other people on the LFG forum looking for other, similarly lesser-known games as well. And I've noticed that our threads tend to get quickly buried beneath the endless avalanche of requests for D&D and Pathfinder games. So my suggestion is pretty simple: maybe the LFG forum should be split into two subforums, one for D&D and Pathfinder, and one for everything else. I'm not sure if that's possible, but I think players of less popular games would have an easier time finding each other if it were...

As a 'other games' user, +1!

Yes, please! +1

heck yes please! i mean i love D&D tyvm, and when i want to play it, it's great to be able to find it so easily.. but when i want to find something that -isn't- D&D, it would also be great to be able to find that without having to wade thru everything else. win/win here; rarer games become much easier to find without the giants burying them, and the big games get a cleaner arrangement without having to check that 'this' game isn't accidentally some other system you weren't looking for. as a further bonus, this could make it easier to break the giants down by style or setting later; hack n slash, dungeon crawl, story-driven, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Greyhawk, etc etc

This should happen. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't done originally, unless maybe just an oversight.

Just adding my two cents.....this is a great idea.

+1 I just hate anything becoming D&D centered :)

+1

+1 same here. It is extremely dispiriting when you want to promote games using less well known systems, as it feels like you are battling against the flow just to get noticed.

Isn't this the whole point of the LFG search tool? You select the game system or systems you are looking for, pick a language, a time, and how often you want to play..... Am i missing something?

Am i missing something? The LFG search tool is good, but I've picked up a few really good players from posts in the forum where people described what kind of game they were looking for and it happened to suit the game I was running at the time. It would be handy to either have a breakdown between D&D and non-D&D or perhaps a division between GMs looking for players and players looking for games. Either way of splitting it would sort out a similar amount of traffic.
