The clearest connections drawn were not in any scenario however, but in "scholarly articles" written up by "learned professors", (all of whom seemed to have died horribly soon after the article was written). You can find these scattered across old editions of the scenario books, and in some issues of the now-defunct White Dwarf magazine. The one scenario that I can remember had some Mesoamerican features was part of the Black Brotherhood series, (evil corporation led by reincarnated pharaoh plans to take over the world, aided by a mysterious white mouse), but in that one the Old One concerned was Yig, and there was no real attempt to make him anything other than the serpent god that he is. Cheers!
