    What, really? Not that it's exactly obscure, but it's good to see that they're pulling from all the books.
    Any Champions game can be improved by dropping Man Cactus into it.
    Any Fantasy HERO game can be improved by dropping the Hand of Doom Tavern into it.
    Any game can be improved by using the HERO system.

    Of course it's obscure. Viper couldn't very well make Disney World into their secret base, could they? What with all the Travel Channel film crews and stuff...

    Well, they take what appeals to them (for whatever reason) and run with it. Monster Island, for example, is three paragraphs in CU and has never really been touched on since, but it appealed to them... and soon we'll have a whole book out on it.

    Maybe someone at Cryptic is a big fan of robot cowboys. Or perhaps, wanting a desert sort of area for Stronghold, they looked for other things that would go well near there.

    Well, who isn't?
    Mrs. White: I, too, am being blackmailed for something I didn't do.
    Mr. Green: Me too.
    Colonel Mustard: And me.
    Miss Scarlet: Not me.
    Wadsworth: You're not being blackmailed?
    Miss Scarlet: Oh, I'm being blackmailed all right, but I did what I'm being blackmailed for.

    To be fair, we did get two substantial articles about MI in Digital Hero. I know that's not official, and of course the book will have much more on MI and probably bear little resemblance to proditor's vision. Still, several Cryptic designers are reputedly Champions fans, so maybe someone there is a DH reader too and had his imagination sparked.

    Yeah, I should have said, "Looking at all the books for inspiration", but you get the idea.
    Any Champions game can be improved by dropping Man Cactus into it.
    Any Fantasy HERO game can be improved by dropping the Hand of Doom Tavern into it.

    It needs to have a Roman theme park next door.
