Can you use base game Ancient Ones in Gates of Arkham, and do they need gate icons on their doom track?

The designer said gate icons are an optional house rule, and other posters agree the older Ancient Ones work.

Yes. Base Ancient Ones work without gate icons on their doom tracks. Treating other-world effects as gate openings is fine, and adding gate icons is an optional house rule.
