[@SamaraJayne96] The fantasy village idea sounds nice for me.
 Maybe the village is located near the ruins of a long extinct nation of which no one knows a lot about. It should give our characters a lot of "adventurers" that come for the ruins to interact with. Another plot could be some kind of war with neighboring kingdoms could give our characters interesting subjects to talk about, changes etc. 

Just some wild ideas I've got. If interested, we can work something out together over PMs if needed.
