The faction rules and downtime activities and tables in the 5e DMG generate good stuff. It's easier for a player to get involved with the campaign world when presented with a few options. And it makes me come up with stuff I hadn't thought about yet either. Allows for a gradual bottom-up growth of the campaign instead of labor intensive top-down world-building.
