I'm pretty sure I said what THE GL SECRET is in my last post:
The godlearners messed with the cosmos so much that the comos went
back to the way it was before they had messed with it, destroying
the godlearners in the process.
I got this answer after taking Greg to task. I politely said that,
as the publisher of Heroquest, I should know. He told me I would be
disappointed that there wasn't something more profoundly clever and
brilliant about it. He also said this secret was already in print in
the Mongoose 2nd age book. I haven't specifically checked that.
That's it,
Rick
