Campaigns question

Hello, Alright so I've come up with an idea for my game and it requires me to GM two games, is it possible to synchronize them somehow? what I mean by that is like bring them together eventually? I'm running a band of Mercenaries in one game for instance in a Hive World(Dark Heresy) doing quests, taking missions. and in the other side, I'm running someone as a "Planetary Lord" building infrastructure, Military power and such. So, what can I do?

You can split the party on one game by dragging individual players to separate maps. That's all I got.

I would recommend running two separate campaigns then later on upgrading your subscription to mentor level so you can access the transmogrifier (or do that now) to copy one game files to the main one (you could make it a third campaign and transfer both campaigns into it). Otherwise you would probably have to run it like Sam recommended. If you go two groups of players in one campaign, you would have to drag one set (individually) to their map then when the other group plays you would have to do the same with them.

Yes, as a mentor you could probably achieve this with the Transmogrifier.
can I GM multiple games at the same time?

If you have the chops to bounce between campaign boards then there would be no problem if your voice supports it. You can be in multiple boards at the same time.

Note: if you are running multiple games in the same browser and you refresh your browser you will load the most recently loaded game which may not be the game that was loaded in that window. To avoid this you may want to use separate browsers (such as Chrome and Firefox).

I handle the multiple campaigns problem by setting up multiple users in chrome. Works perfectly! <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?h" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?h</a>...
Alternatively you could just use two different browsers (IE / Firefox / Chrome / etc) or even two different computers (desktop + laptop) That being said, I can barely keep track of one game, let alone two simultaneously... I've no idea how you're managing that.

(In my case, I'm working on API scripts and testing them on different campaigns, or working on bits of a campaign I'm running, while playing in a campaign)
