Special Mythos and Exploring other words

By Night7, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hi,

2 Questions that I have been meaning to ask for some time, I'm very new at Arkham so have patience with me :-D

1. What happens if at the start of the game the first mythos we draw does not have a portal, but instend it says to put 2 doom tokens on the doom track? Should I let it stay or draw a new one unitil I have a portal (non rumor) mythos card?

2. Lets say I'm in other world first area, but there are no portals on the board, what happens, I automatically move to lost in time and space or I have to finish exploring the other world (have an encounter in the first area, then move to the secund, then encounter there) and when is time to return to arkham if there are no open portals I'm lost in time and space.

We have been using the second senario as it gives the investigators time for a portal to open before been sent to lost in time and space.

Thanks for the answer,

Regards,

Ignacio

1: You draw a new one that has a portal.

2: You finish exploring the other worlds, and if no portals from the world exist, you are lost in time and space. You were playing it correctly. Hope this helps.

It really help, I was criticised about ruling this
