[Rq-rules] [RQIII] Cultures - Nomad vs Barbarian

[Joe Mills]

If the players would have more fun calling themselves 'nomads' than
'barbarians', then that would be the selling point for me.

Not to start an arument about whether cultures are restrictive or not and
what RQII did etc but here goes:

In my session I have some people who are IMO Barbarian. However, they do
tend to migrate from summer to winter homes and then some. So does that
make them nomads or barbarians? IMO they remain barbarians, kinda like the
Helvetai whoe were doing a migration when Caesar gave them a seeing to.
Some of my group however say that if you don't stay put in one area, you
are nomadic. I see their point in the purest form. Anyway, just wonderwed
what other people would consider here? It also comes down to my game
world, which many people play barbarians from that area and, je well no
fine, Nomad and Primitive cultures are a bit more restrictive in terms of
occupations available.
