We really like playing with a hiden alternative ending when we play so it always really annoyed me that the I dont have the "Crown of Command Alternative Ending Card" and "Danse Macabre Alternative Ending Card" printed in a way that we cant difference them from the other cards.

Although I doubt it will happen think it would be great if FFG could include these two ending in the new expansion just like "The dunwich horror herrald card" was included in a later expasion for Arkham Horror =P

No, they should not be. Bonus cards are bonus. This is the whole idea behind this. Besides Danse Macabre will not be released simply because the Dragon box would need to feature another Reaper figure (and rules for it). And CoC is not really an alternative ending.

When we play with the Dance Macabre-ending as a hidden ending, we use another card as the Dance Macabre card. Ex: The warlock quest-ending or The Sacred pool.

Those two endings are ones that you can't use anyway in the hidden variant. I guess you can use both of them also as stand ins for Dance Macabre and Crown of Command.

Bonus in electronic form does not cost anything, while bonus in paper form generates costs for the company.

Still, they could do it and they would not have to include new reaper figure / rules, but just danse macabre ending. After all, it would be a bonus, not a feature.

IMHO you sir are a Derp.

It would not -need- a reaper figure in the same way as The miscatonic expansion for Arkham does not include everything that it expands (it ads new content to all previous expansions..). CoC/DM-ending card should have been includes in base game/reper expansion but there were no alternative ending cards at that time therefor I defenitly think it should be included now =P (in the same way the dunwich herald card is included in the miscatonic box..)

Office Depot, Staples, any major office supply store carries card stock nearly identical to the ending cards. I printed my own bonus endings, and they are nearly identical in coloring and such as the originals. It is a moot point though, as knowing which one is which will not help with the system I use.

Instead of having someone choose one randomly from the stack, use a die to randomly choose instead, and don't roll for the hidden one at the beginning.

So at the beginning, decide on hidden vs revealed ending (I have someone roll, 1-3 it's hidden and 4-6 it's revealed). If you use the revealed ending, place all endings fanned out facedown and roll a die with as many or more sides than the number of endings. If you roll a number higher than the number of endings, re-roll. This way it does not matter if you can tell the cards apart, as it is random regardless.

Same method for the hidden ending, just wait to make the roll until someone enters the crown of command. When someone enters, fan out the hidden endings and roll a die.
