[QUOTE="Ganymede81, post: 7115062, member: 6812267"] In my CoS campaign, I've done a lot to implement the PCs backstories into the game. In the group, there's a former wizard's apprentice that narrowly avoid being a demon sacrifice, a sorceress whose dragon mentor was slain by adventurers, a cleric who's on the lam after murdering a prominent thieves' guild boss, and a fighter and former mob enforcer that lost it all in a hand of cards. I added in all sorts of stuff to reflect their backgrounds. Strahd toyed with the fighter's penchant for gambling by offering a Deck of Many Things. Illusions of corpses at the abbey and gibbet were instead visions of lost loved ones. Arrigal knows of both the fighter and cleric from their previous criminal reputations. Lady Watcher is constantly trying to get the demon summoning tome that the wizard protects. The bone room in the castle looks like it is filled with freshly butchered dragon bones to the sorcerer. Etc. [/QUOTE]
