I assume you would want them to play other games with you in the future, or even just be willing to speak to you.Besides, I think that once you've run the whole thing, you are going to be looking forward to playing something else and wont want to go back into it a second time.On the other hand, if you are up to doing a LOT of work, you can write up elaborate criminal backgrounds for your characters, and have them discover pieces of it as they adventure. Hints about what terrible people they were on the outside. Their crimes need to be abominable enough to justify this particularly cruel form of eternal punishment. That way as they adventure they will develop the feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye and the race to the finish line also becomes a quest to find themselves. Discovering at the end that they are eternal prisoners at that point brings closure to the quest and the players are given a sense of completion in the campaign (and you won’t have to hire a bodyguard to protect yourself from your wrathful players).The major insurmountable issue with this concept is that in order for it to work and be interesting in the end, the characters need to survive to see it completed... and without an absurd (and game damaging) amount of fudging on your part, they AREN'T going to survive to the end of this with their original characters.</blockquote>
