For my group, the group has to buy in for a campaign to start. If someone wants to play an elven samurai, we figure out where an elven samurai can be from. But also, if the game starts in the far northern reaches of the continent in a fairly sparsely populated mountainous peninsula dominated by humans, dwarves, gnomes, and Goliaths, and one player wants to play a Drow dervish from the far south because they thought the nomadic nocturnal desert Drow culture with a scorpion god was rad as hell when we told them about the world, we figure out why they are so far from home.</blockquote>
