The Bermuda Triangle itself is crackpot theory enough for hosts of stories. And it's never been clear as to how some of the most heavily-traveled waters on Earth could also be the source of tons of mysterious disappearances.

Have you considered the possibility that the Bermuda Triangle isn't located where everyone says it is? That it lies just outside all that heavily-trafficked Carribean area? Or that the Vortice moves with the precession of the planet's axis, so that some point it could have swept over Roanoake Island?

The gradual return of magic and the supernatural to Earth through dimensional vile vortices located at twelve mystically significant points is not enough?
Not really. For background, sure. But the players need to feel like someone is after them personally. It adds something to the game to feel like they and they alone can Save The Day.

Would it help if the incursions might be in some way shaped and guided by the hands (tentacles?) of Things Man Was Not Meant to Know and whose existence in this reality is impossible under current natural laws?

And if the presence of beings or energy from other worlds in this reality serves to weaken the fabric of our world by serving as an anchor to their own reality, meaning that the very existence of monsters, not to mention the use of magic, serves as a self-reinforcing mechanism which brings higher mana levels and enables the ever more blatant violation of the laws of reality through the existence of otherworldly beings here on Earth?
Sonds good to me. the classics are classics for a reason. :D
