Tal Meta, amid Spurious Quoting (though as it was of me, I'm of course Secretly Flattered), comments:

As I say at every possible point in this discussion, Difference in Degree. (If anyone seriously proposes GodQuest as a cap-cap-system, I reserve the right to turn purple and sputter.)

Michael Cule cites KoS, "The Court of Silence", to wit:
> 'What Happens When You Die' Greg mentions 'a HeroQuest Initiation'.
> Does anyone know if he haas ever explained what he means by this?

Not that I know of. From the context, I believe what he's saying is effectively "have become a Real HeroQuester (TM), by having established one of those ever-so-nifty Back Doors out of Hell". (Which is something he's talked about, though don't press me for references at this time in the morning.)

Guessing, and going home,
Alex.
