Where do they come from? Ruins of past civilizations; cursed/trapped tombs; Is this post-apocalyptic where all the good stuff is buried? Old forts; Moria; near a big set of ruins from an old kingdom? etc.What’s the climate & terrain like like? Arctic/temperate/tropical; mountains, valleys, plains; wet/medium/dry/desert? Trees, grasslands, rocky?How close is the nearest other major point of civilization, and what is it?Why does the village exist here? Is it on a river? Lake? Major trade route? What are the major natural resources or occupation? Mining? Furs?What pantheon are we using?Is there an Underdark?What 5 things are problems for the village? Ie, “monsters” (Chimera, perytons, etc.), aberrations, cultists, goblinoids, barbarian tribes, slave raiders, enemy soldiers, undead, fey, giants, kobolds, sahuagin, shapeshifters, etc. These can be internal or external but should be actionable. “Hatfield Vs. McCoy feud” is probably not a good choice, neither is pacificst vs militant, etc. Who runs the village?Aside from the party, who else in the village is notable as someone with special talents or powers? And why aren’t they taking care of the problem(s)?Who does the party have relationships with? Mentors, bosses, familyWhat resources are available in the village, if any, for gear upgrades, spells, potions, etc.?</blockquote>
