I was disappointed to see no tips in explaining the gothic architecture and clothing, as well a technological advances like carriages (though Gygax himself did incorporate carriages in his latter, non-Greyhawk work), nor an explanation for the mists of Ravenloft that would fit with Greyhawk better.
Methinks Stahd may have fallen victim to Ivid's crazed wizard Xaene.
Try to walk away from the Great Kingdom, eh? Don't want to be a Death Knight, hmm? Fine, let's see what interesting going away present can be conjured up by delving into the Planes of Shadow (am interest of Gygax's at the time Ravenloft arose, wasn't it?).
Funny, I always thought the Clatspurs were a better setting for Ravenloft. But that's just me.
Dave G: Alot of people favor Perrenland area, but it is good that GH is flexible enough to accomodate more than one way.
Of course. That's the fun of something like GH, or any setting for that matter. I just hadn't thought of that area.
