The campaign is set in the World of Greyhawk, the Kingdom of Keoland, before the Greyhawk Wars, in 571 C.Y, which precedes the events in the GDQ Series and the Temple of Elemental Evil. It would be a stretch to have someone from Barovia in Greyhawk, as Strahd typically doesn't open his borders back to the Prime Material Plane. While it would not be impossible, it would be for story only, without any benefit to the PCs background. If that's acceptable, then I have no issue with it.<br/><br/>One an unrelated note, I am going to be away from the computer all day tomorrow, so I hope to have the first post in-game up Saturday. If I can't, then it will be Monday, as Sunday being Mother's Day I will be pretty much unavailable all day.
