Big Evil Spider AO considers all gates opening to be considered a Gate Burst...so does this apply to Arkham Encouters where your unlucky enough to get a "Gate and Monster appear"?

I've been playing it as a yes!

Further more whenever you draw a Gate Burst card all flying monsters move and Big Evil Spider AO turns all the Mythos Cards (with a gate) into gate burst so basically all the flying monster are going to be moving?

I am not sure that ALL openings are to be considered a gate burst. The rules state that all Mythos cards should be treated as the gate bursts. In that case, only a Mythos can cause a Gate Burst. At least, that is how I take it. But I guess if you go strictly off the AO card, tehn ALL openings should be considered gate bursts even if they come from Encounters.

Since all mythos are red, flying monsters will move every turn. There is an open questions out there to make sure that is what Kevin really meant.

Monsters don't move on a "gate and monster apears" card. Mythos cards make monsters move. The spider makes it so flying monsters move in addition to normal movment regardless of symbol. Since an encounter does not cause movment, and nothing moves anyway, flying don't move either.

I think there are 2 separate questions here:

1. Any time an encounter opens a gates, should it be considered a gate burst and pop the seal?
2. When a Mythos is resolved, do flying monsters move?

Yes they are two separate questions and it does make sense that an Arkham Encounter where "Gate and Monster Appear" would not count as a Gate Burst because Gate Burst deals with Mythos cards.

Too the flying part seem kosure that flying monster are gonna do allot of well "flying", so come to me Mi-Go!
