what to put in an expansion bridge

By dj2.0, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

on the subject of printing a bridge for all expansions - Which cards are needed and how many of each? For example, how many Dunwich Gates, Next Act cards, Innsmouth gates, etc are needed to balance playing with all mythos cards so far printed?

What exactly would you like in such an expansion?

A new rule:

"When Kingsport is play along with Dunwich and Innsmouth if a monster enters a vortex carry out the normal effects (add token to DOR or DH track, raise Terror by 1) then place the vortexed monster on a location in Kingsport".

The location of the monster should be randomly determined. It would make sense to use the rift tokens, but in theory they might all be in use and the monster would be more of an obstackle if it were placed in a location thatw as already on a rift track.

10 or 11 Next Act Begins cards that show Dunwich or Innsmouth locations.

Nice idea, they could have Next Act Begins in small print, under the usual headline, that way it wouldnt matter if you didnt have KiY, you could still use them.

Id like to see more Epic Battle cards, and a couple more sinister plots each too.

Another cool idea, and no need of waiting for an expansion to use it, thanks. I knew those vortices led somewhere!

I wouldn't add more Next Act cards, because then the chance increases that you have clusters of these cards in the deck (I don't think it's fun if you encounter 5 or more of them in a single game). Instead, I would just take the six Next Act cards and TSC out of the mythos deck, shuffle, remove mythos cards so that the remaining cards fit into one slot from the AH box, and then shuffle the Next Act cards and TSC into the deck.

another thought: a handful of extra Doom tokens.
