Well, for what it is worth - the Taming of Dragon Pass campaign is filled with superstitions regarding agriculture and herding. I'm going to let y'all into a secret - the notorious SFC "farming" campaign isn't really about farming - it is about clan life. Farming, herding, etc. dominates player economics (although raids and war are important too), but most of what happens is good solid saga material. BTW, it is also the "highest level" campaign I've ever run - the player characters include the clan chief, the clan priestess, the clan priest/lawspeaker and the clan champion. It also has more local heroquesting than I've ever seen before. Nonetheless, characters are motivated by issue of family, clan and making sure the damn cattle are safe.

folk, and quality players.
Thanks, but, uh, what the pity about?
>We are dealing with FANTASY here, no one can possibly be right or wrong.
Not even Greg or Sandy or >the Seattle Farmers Collective. All anyone can
do is cite the history of a non-magically active world, or >what works for
them. If you dont agree you dont have to, but that doesnt mean that they
are wrong.
Oh, I can be wrong - I'm pretty darn sure of that. :)
