LitT double world gates

By Guest, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

How do you think they will work? Do you choose wich word to enter to? random?

Discuss.

It seems like "random" would be annoying. Having to roll a die or use some other mechanic to choose is a bit tedious.

More than likely the investigator will choose. So long as the Lost Carcosa/Another Time dual gate isn't the only iteration of those two Other Worlds, I will be happy.

Another thing to note: with a new set of gate markers, all the gates will now have the same back! For those of you who don't want to be scarred for life, don't read the next line:

The face-down side of the current Dunwich gate markers are reversed!

Choosing? then everyone will choose the easy OW... another time is miles easier than lost carcosa, for example. Not to mention that whatever other other world would be paired with Rlyeh, everyone would choose that. Seems a bit unfair.

Hopefully it will be random. Otherwise people will be able to choose to avoid certain Other Worlds.

Perhaps, but I assume that 2/3 of the gates will be one location only. Who knows? Maybe you want to enter the harder OW in order to remove certain symbol monsters from the board.

My assumption is that four of the gates will be two locations, the gates for Dunwich and the gates for Innsmouth (just based on the double gate we saw being an expansion gate, and that the numbers would work out— eighteen new gate markers means that there would need to be four double gates). So I'd think it'd actually be 7/9th of the gates that will be one location ;') close though, you were 1/9th away.

God I hope not. I hope it's one gate for each of the 12 OWs, then 6 gates that are doubled up. I'd much rather have 3 Kingsport gate tokens than 2.

I have the feeling that half of Silas will die in the double of the occasions... ::laughing::

Heh... I forgot that R'lyeh is more threatening now. Good :')
