I only own the base 2nd edition game. But I would like some variance and I thought we could use investigators from other expansions to play the base scenarios.

Like, just to have different skills and actions. I could print the investigators cards and distribute them (obviously, the ones that don't have a special item from the expansion or something else connected to them).

And if the game app says "William does something", then one of the players with a new character will assume the action.

I understand that the game only lets you pick 5 characters, but I never see the character explicitly mentioned in the game very much, with the sole exception of targetted mythos phase events. So would it be resonable to run a game with 6 players instead of 5?

I know the game is quite old at this point and my googling hasn't really found anything that can organize the boardgame in the box.

I'm thinking I might need to look into some generic systems to get everything all set and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on what to use to get my 1e game all organized in the box.
