Not sure.... I have enough trouble keeping up with the threads without having somewhere else to look for good topics. But can see the need for it for different rules etc. I know a site called first expedition was started with this in mind i never took to it havnt looked at it in ages.
Oh and I agree there is a lot less negativity from 30k players. Topics on 30k tend to be blessed relief at times.

Might be an appropriate time to bring this up, considering the imminent release and the rumour that this is replacing The Hobbit/LoTR as the third system. Also reported that it will allegedly be aimed at older gamers...

The game hasn't even been released yet. Wait until its been proven to create enough discussion to warrant its own forum first.

No, its not out yet. This will be the game that determines if there's enough discussion for a Horus Heresy forum.

Are you going to actually listen to what I'm saying before you have a knee-jerk reaction to what you see as someone disagreeing with your belief in the need of a Horus Heresy forum?
Yes, Forge World does make a Horus Heresy game. I never said otherwise, did I? No. But after three years apparently the admins don't feel that it has generated enough discussion to warrant its own forum. Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth is also a Horus Heresy game. If it becomes the third core game as rumored, it will generate way more discussion then the Forge World game ever could simply because it will be more widely available and more affordable. This game is what will provide the tipping point for a Horus Heresy forum, but you actually have to wait for the game to be released before that can happen.

We have no confirmation yet that Forge World's 30K rules and the upcoming Horus Heresy game are anything at all to do with each other. Given that the latest sneaky pictures show it on a game board, it seems likely that it is in fact something completely separate to Forge World's rules.
So no, this does nothing to advance the argument for a separate section for Horus Heresy discussion. At least not until there is actually something to talk about.

Do they need a connection beyond being set during the Horus Heresy to be in a Horus Heresy forum?

If the discussion is about a specific game, then yes, having the forum shared by another, completely different, game that just happens to be in the same setting might be a touch confusing for people.

Yet that's the case for the Fantasy Flight forum with three Star Wars games (X-Wing, Armada and Imperial Assault).

Or what we could do is... No just add another Forum for Horus Heresy Army Lists, Horus Heresy YMDK and Horus Heresy General Discussion
H.B.M.C.- The end hath come! From now on armies will only consist of Astorath, Land Speeder Storms and Soul Grinders!
War Kitten- Vanden, you just taunted the Dank Lord Ezra. Prepare for seven years of fighting reality...
koooaei- Emperor: I envy your nipplehorns. <Magnus goes red. Permanently>
Neronoxx- If our Dreadnought doesn't have sick scuplted abs, we riot.
Frazzled- I don't generally call anyone by a term other than "sir" "maam" "youn g lady" "young man" or " HEY bag!"
Ruin- It's official, we've ran out of things to talk about on Dakka. Close the site. We're done.
mrhappyface- "They're more what you'd call guidlines than actual rules" - Captain Roboute Barbosa
Steve steveson- To be clear, I'd sell you all out for a bottle of scotch and a mid priced hooker.

Our basic assumption is that there are already too many boards. It is a pretty steep climb to rebut that assumption. FW's HH product line is insufficient. And the Betrayal at Calth box set is insufficient. But that doesn't mean there will never be a 30k board. Let's see how things develop. Maybe Betrayal at Calth really is a "third game" product line comparable to LotR/Hobbit. If so, I can see a new board for that (probably one for army lists, batreps, etc., just like the current LotR board). But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Have you guys considered closing some of the boards that are not in line with Dakka's mission of being the best tabletop gaming site on the internet? Specifically, the Video Games section, and the Off-Topic section? There are no shortage of other places that people can talk about video games, guns, and politics, and both subforums presumably consume a lot of bandwidth both literal and figurative (as in moderator time, which is a finite resource).
Certainly I think it would make way more sense to have a 30k subforum than it would to have the OT, Video Games, or Polls, for that matter. As much as I like arguing there, I think on the whole the OT adds negative value to Dakka. Obviously the mods and admin have more insight than I do.... just my 2 cents.

To clarify, this isn't really an issue of having a set number of boards in mind and maybe just trading one (for example, Video Games) in for another (30k). As for the OT, the thinking is that off-topic sentiment will out and it is best to have a place where it can be "contained" away from the gaming content. So it won't be going anywhere.
If it were up to me alone, the next board to go would be LotR. I would move it all into "Games Workshop Specialist & Unsupported Games" as soon as GW drops the axe, although obviously not before. That doesn't mean, however, that I'd instantly replace it with a 30k board.

All kidding aside, there is some discussion going on about closing down sections/folding some back into other areas too.

Whops, caught a button on my phone.
I was meaning to say that FG could always be a sub forum of Fiction if a tidy up was necessary.
The games like collective RPGs and puzzles are user fiction, just not as linear.
