After a long interruption, I'd like to restart a RM campaign. My previous campaign finished more than 20 years ago and took place in Middle Earth.
For this new one, after reading some online material and browsing this forum, I decided to go for Shadow World, even if my knowledge on the world is very low. So I bought the Atlas and the "Tales from the Gryphon Inn" supplement (which is very nice by the way) to get my group started in the world.
As we will create characters for the Gryphon Inn adventure I try to figure out the possible Races, culture and background for my players but it doesn't seem very obvious. Talking of background, the Gryphon Inn book mentions that some PC background are available after the adventures but I didn't find this part.
I'd appreciate some help and Shadow World lore to avoid proposing inconsistent choices to my group. Thanks for your input on the topic.
