I'll take a look for ideas, but generally I avoid fully developed campaign setting if only because it's too much of a time commitment to read up on. Gods, the amount of research I did on the FR setting just to develop my jungles of chult campaign.. ugh.Thanks! Like I said, a lot of it is the Innistrad setting. After I run it, I would like to type it up and publish it as a free adventure module, levels 2-4 I think. The trick would be making the setting my own so I don't walk into copyright issues <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />A land claim in the city sounds wonderful. A PC's relative is a shopkeeper in this module, gets murdered, passes the estate to his next of kin. PCs arrive in town due to one of various hooks, basically everything Paraxis said. They resolve their initial quest while I pepper them with little hooks (still coming up with them) and see what catches: two paladins have come here in search of a holy relic, the graveyard has been recently pillaged and all the bodies are missing, etc. The zombie invasion happens whenever they're done exploring, which could be immediately if they decide not to stick around. All I need from the PCs is for them to show up at the village, they can ignore everything else if they want to.I'll try to steer them towards dealing with Bob after the zombie invasion. Motivation could be vengeance against the zombies, gold reward from desperate villagers, paladins seeking assistance. If they decide to leave the village to their fate, well, that's their choice. The roads leading out of the valley are still dangerous. They might come across werewolves and undead. The mountain passes are guarded by vampire families that won't be keen on cattle leaving their land. Once the adventurers break out, module over. But if they're so keen on leaving the place, to me that's an indicator that the players would prefer playing something else, so that's fine.</blockquote>
