When players draw an Encounter Card (or in Another World) they often just read it. I make other players sleepy. Better to narrate it with own words and include roll results.

Let’s see two kind of styles. Player draws a card and reads:
“You are in the forest and hear something strange. Make Luck (-1) test. If success you find a guy burying some chest. When he leave you find 2 Common Items.” – player rolls 3 – “I could not find it.”
And the second narrating style:
“After hours of pointless walking within the forest I hear something…” – player rolls 3 – “Naaah, that’s nothing, my fatigued cheats me – that’s only some leaves on wind. I am going ahead.”

Often players says that four player game is too simple. There is very simple solution. Play as there are five players – draw two monsters when gate appears, change monster limits.
Or use any other rules mentioned here like face-down gates for example.
Then 4-player games could be really thrilling!

A large number of players complain about very long games. But the problem occurs when players are sealing gates. Then Mythos Card are still bouncing from Elder Sign seals. It is why nothing speciall happen, and game could be boring. Better choice is to only close gates conserve clue tokens for fight with Ancient One, and from the beginning of the game prepare for Final Battle, which is very interesting with Epic Battle Cards from Kingsport Expansion.
