In fact, it is suggested that most cultures observe Sacred Time. That sure does make a significant time period when you can assume that the heroes key contemporary foes are also doing their own HQ's. No wonder HQ's run into each other all of the time!
If half of all HQ's happen at Sacred Time and the other half are scattered across the calendar, that alone explains why there is crossover on quests. It's the Summons of Evil (and whatever equivalents there are in other cultures) that need explaining. Of course, coincidence happens ALL THE TIME in literature and movies. Hardly seems Deux ex Machina if the players are actively calling on that narrative power themselves.
