I've really enjoyed the village backdrops by Raging Swan. This one, in particular is quite nice. The NPCs in this backdrop are described in sufficent detail to RP, but not Ad nauseam. This is the perfect type of backdrop for a campaign that involves a traveling BBEG that the PCs are trying to find. You can lead the part to believe that they might find who they are hunting for in this area, at risk of being infected by the plague, or "converted" by the cult. For example, I am using it as an offshoot of the Emental Evil Campaign, to bridge the gap between the Larrakh in the Tomb of Moving stones (who escapes), and the PCs have tracked him to Ashford, which I placed about 10 miles from the Sword Mountains to the west of Red Larch. Lots of places to explore, plots to develop, etc. Really wish they would convert the old swamps & marshes pack for 5e. Worth the cash!
