Hi, all.

Does anyone know of or have a recommendation for a decent D&D type of splatbook that focuses primarily on village/country settings? I have an old "City Sites" D&D book but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

My little adventuring party is heading into a woodsy area where there are ample streams, a large river, and several small villages and hamlets so I'm looking for something to help me ramp up some flavor in those locales quickly.

Thanks for your help!

The classic is The Temple of Elemental Evil widely available on the net link

These are no splatbooks, but there are tons of resources for generating wilderness "stuff" for gaming. Here are a few resources for you to get started with hexcrawling ;)

Do a google for hexcrawl and you will be up to your armpits in tables and lists that will help you put some spice into the wilderness for your players! :)

Thanks dragon6 and Ravenseye. I was kind of looking for something where I wouldn't have to work my voodoo with generators, tables, etc. etc. etc.

I did wind up spending some time on the almighty Google the other night though and came up with some neat finds:
