Description
The first part of Here There Be Tigers provides more in-depth details on creating military commando-type characters for Danger International, including new base packages, information on military training, and weapons.[1]
The second part of the book is an adventure in which a group of Vietnam veterans is privately recruited to undertake a mission into Laos to rescue a group of American prisoners of war (POWs).[2]
Publication history
Hero Games first developed the universal Hero System in the early 1980s, which was subsequently used in all of their role-playing games. One of these games was Espionage!: The Secret Agent Role Playing Game (1983), where players took on the role of modern-day spies as portrayed in the TV series Mission: Impossible. Two years later, this was expanded into Danger International so that players could take on a variety of roles besides spies, and the game could be set in various time periods after World War II. The designers also moved away from the very serious tone of Espionage!, taking what game critic Rick Swan called "the entertaining approach."[3]
Several scenarios and supplements were published for Danger International, including 1986's Here There Be Tigers, an 80-page book designed by Kevin Dockery and Robert Schroeder with artwork by Kevin Pogue and David Welling.[2]
