I have Dunwich and Lurker and today ordered Miskatonic and Kingsport at a stupid good price. I'm just wondering since I've never played Kingsport before should I do it sans Miskatonic the first few times or just go whole hog and mix Miskatonic in from the start?

I'd just plunk it in unless you're patient. Kingsport isn't the most exciting town ;')

I don't mind a bit of ruckus but my lady friend gets quite irksome if things go south too quickly.

Miskatonic Mythos can be very unpleasant. Some cards are fun, some are interesting to play, some kick you in a way you'll find unpleasant. Go for some Kingsport games first. If you want, you can still integrate MH components in KH only game, by using complete encounter decks for locations in Kingsport. You'll find a good variety of encounters that hopefully will keep the game interesting for a long time.

Then you could start adding Mythos from MH :-) As for other components, beware of the Institutions, especially the Bureau needs to be fixed in some way

Miskatonic actually adds the most stuff to Kingsport. Here's the stuff you can add right off the bat:

If you use the Hypnos or Nodens guardians, go ahead and add the new cards. The new Hypnos cards add clues to expansion locations, so just re-draw any for locations you're not using.

The MH Epic Battle cards can be added immediately.

MH adds location encounters to all expansion boards. You can add all the ones with the Kingsport, Dunwich, and/or Lurker icons.

Don't forget to add the new skills Criminal, Painter, and Clairvoyant.

All the Lurker and Dunwich stuff too. Particularly since the new Reckoning cards are so brutal.

Avoid the new Mythos cards for now. They don't really pertain to Kingsport so much.

Any of the three institutions can be used.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't want my GF to freak out if things get too hard too quickly. She's already not too happy about Atlach-Nacha.

MH and KH arrived today. I hate sorting...
