So we were playing a game the other day, and a situation came up for the first time leaving us all a little confused as to what precisely should be done. I don't recall seeing it in the FAQ, so I put it up for group consensus.
The issue was this:
A (read: several) monster surge occurs. At the time there are open gates (6) in both Dunwich (1) and Arkham (5). The monster limit is set at 5, and there are 4 monsters in Arkham itself. So the question was: since the monster limit does not apply to Dunwich, do we put 1 monster in Arkham (meeting the limit) and 5 monsters on the one gate in Dunwich? Or do we put 1 monster in Arkham, 1 monster in Dunwich, and the rest in the outskirts?
We played the second way because we were in a hurry to finish, but I personally thought the first way would be what an FAQ answer would be. When a monster surge occurs you are supposed to divide the monsters as evenly as possible on all open gates, with the Mythos-specified gate having at least as many as the next most-monstered gate. So I figured "no monster limit in Dunwich = put all the extras there". Confusion arrises from the Mythos-specified gate needing to have the highest number of monsters.
Any thoughts/has this already been addresed?
