I don't know if this has been said before, but some of you will remember that we had a discussion, the last time we were thrashing out HeroQuest ideas, on how to distinguish between the two known types of HQ, viz:

1. The recreationist type, whereby you follow the path the God has taken before you

and

2) The experimental type, where you try to create some new path and new things on the Hero/God Plane.

Given that the Lunars call HeroQuesting, 'Travelling and Journeying' might not they the name 'Travelling' to the first type of HQ and 'Journeying' to the second. This feels right linguistically: a 'journey' has more intent, more purpose than just 'travelling'.
