It's one of the few times Ryutamma will shine.
And I would run it like a religous pilgrimage to a holy site or holy sites to get the Gods' blessing, all the why surviving the journey.

Are we going to Flavortown?

it would be pretty fun and comfy, though sadly i'll never be able to play that type of game or the system...

Journey is the real adventure, destination is the reward.

>Clerics
>Many Clerics
>Of many different creeds and faiths
>Heading to the same Holy Site
>All for different reasons
>All believing different things
>Feed party ambiguous claims that be twisted, turned and taken dozens of ways
>Enjoy shitstorm

I'm doing one right now, kinda, the objetive is ambiguous

>shit is going on
>to find the source of the shit that's going on the party must travel the world without going back because time is of the esence
>little by little they learn the nature of the problem while solving other shit along the way
>they finally reach the destination and solve the shit
its so basic I don't even know what to say

A big series of mistakes.

Just spend each session having one of the players share their backstory.

>not basing all campaigns on the Pilgrim's Progress
>not forcing absolutely lead-handed lessons in Puritan morality on your players at all times with the subtlety of a crossdressing Rhino

FFX is a good example, and I guess Dark Souls 1 counts as one to.

i've done it, with messianic visions given to each player along the way to give it a plot. some real, some hallucinated, all of them conflicting

Hey, it kept Arabs at bay for the most part, as a matter of fact we could use another.
