In fact Greg's one seems to include this one, if I'm understanding it correctly. You get to go through the entire history of the universe. Including the little section we'd picked out. We were thinking far too small.

If there's (say) 1:100 chance of dying, that's pretty scary!

Very much so - and I suspect that goes for more HQs than you might think, too. You're emulating your deity, and remember Gloranthans believe this stuff at a depth that most of us don't.

I'd thoroughly agree with that. Which is why I've wanted to tell everyone about the "Kallyr's son" plot ever since I first heard about it (I think that was around 1999, possibly earlier). How on earth were you meant to narrate the bit of the Shiprise where he dies, without knowing what the relationship was?
So it's somewhat annoying to find that although AFAIK I'm STILL bound by a NDA not to talk about it, some part of the secret (not necessarily all) have been being chatted about at conventions by Greg. When I find out which bits are still secret, which are not to be talked about until Dragonrise comes out (I'm working on writing that bit at the moment!), and so on, I'll be in on the discussion, but at the moment I'm just confused :(
