You can do a lot with the final mission's debriefing and the Souvenir. If they liked the arc enough to want to play the next, they should check both.

It's been said by some here that some players might get annoyed at seeing the 'coming attractions' (or 'this story's not done yet!') for your next arc if that arc isn't already posted as well. Sort of like watching The Empire Strikes Back and then thinking, "ah man, now I have to wait three years to see the next part!".
There may be some validity to this, at least for some players. Just an FYI.

Sweet ! I never noticed the Souvenir on Ae mish completion. I don't believe it gives you a prompt that you got one? I'll have to check it again to make sure. |

Plenty of text here to tie it in.

It does not. You might want to put a line in the final debriefing that leads to or hints at the souvenir.

I know the problem of wanting to fit character from other episodes into one arc well. I intend to have an enemy group show up while you just board your ship for the actual missions or the first arc, that has no relation to the arc itself and can be seen as just a plain funny randomness, but pops up again in the second arc.
Sadly, this laser rifle toting ninja group has nine different critters for a decent powerset mix, yet with the one group that helps you and the group you have to protect and the REAL enemy group that has light troops and heavy troops and flying grav troops that each need minion, lieutenant and boss, plus the elite boss and two models that are only used on their starship as crew, ... the arc is currently at 207% file size.
Can only hope they increase the allowed file size and store custom critter more efficiently.
I've just finished up making a four part arc, and near the end of the arc another faction makes an appearance.This appearance will be addressed in the next arc.
(will be a month before I can even start working on it)
I was thinking of adding an epilogue as a fifth mish and this mish will have none of the main enemy's of the previous 4 arcs.
Now this added fifth part isn't being added just to have all slots used, but I fear I'll run out of mish memory (on the next arc) before I can wrap the story up.
So my question is ? what are the general feelings about an epilogue that introduces the next story arc,and any ideas to really make it work?
The way it plays out now I feel is ok, but just wanted to get a little feed back and see how the players feel about it.
