Hi, during our group's last game, 2 tricky situations happened. We didn't know, how to resolve them :

1. Mythos card with no gate opening (it adds 2 doom tokens instead) filled the 4th rift marker. What happens with the rift? We decided, that it became stucked, unable to reach our world (because there was no location for gate opening on the mythos card)

2. One reckoning card (from lurker) told us to drive one investigator with lowest power insane. We choosed an investigator lost in time and space to be driven insane. What happens with him?

#1: Official Answers from Kevin Wilson sticky thread:

"[KH] 9. What happens when the Mythos card that triggers a Rift has no gate location (Is a double doom token card or Next Act Begins). Do you just draw the next Mythos card, used that location and then discard the card? (06/13/08)
Correct. Just draw again until you get a gate location for the rift to appear at. "

#2: I'd say he suffers the usual insanity penalties, but since he is already LiTaS (and not technically in the OWs), doesn't lose any extra time.

I might be wrong, but from what I recall, double doomer Mythos cards and no-gate mythos cards in general have all the dimensional symbols in their movement pattern boxes, so they don't fill the rift track-the pattern must match exactly.

Zealot -

Take a look at some of the double doom cards from Curse of the Dark Pharoah, for example. In general, you are correct, but there are some exceptions.
