It would be a good campaign. But it would not be good to have in D&D. D&D is primarily combat focused system. Traveling merchants would generally want to avoid combat if possible.

in retrospect, you may be right, but all sorts of menaces could be around the corner for the would-be spicemen. I was thinking long, dangerous journey with a mercantile goal.

RAILROAD

make world with huge effective spice route and make it the only really good way to make money in an otherwise impoverished country. Have spice be a quieter reward they then have to sell. Have lots of opportunities for caravan guards, retrieving stolen shipments etc. Keep them impoverished in gold but in barrels of spice, which is no good as currency because every merchant already had spice but swords, swords are rare trade goods 4x as expensive etc.
