[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8187124, member: 6801228"] No, most of my players don't care where the pepper and salt comes from. But, I play with a lot of people with various interests, and once while I was describing an aspect of my setting a player shared with us a twenty minute discussion on the origins of Apartheid in South Africa because of the Dutch and how that applied to the current situation. Just because you don't care how a village in the middle of nowhere with no access to anything that could provide salt, has salt, doesn't mean it can't be something to note. Heck, it could be a plot clue. These people claim to have no contact with the outside world, but they have salt? And they live in a jungle, where you can't harvest salt? That could be a minor hint that there is something more going on, because of course they hide their steel weapons and cult symbols, but who thinks to put away the salt shaker? [/QUOTE]
