Great/ How many people are there?How would your character know this? Who do you go talk to figure this out and how to you bring up the discussion to avoid arousing suspicion?  Or how do you go about inconspicuously casing the area to come up with a rough estimate?Etc. Actually, I'm even lazier these days. I have random settlement generators in Foundry and Discord. I also have an old copy of Citiographer which will also randomly generate a map, but I'd have to put to much work into the text-files used by the population and name generation to have the results make sense for any but the most generic kitchen sink setting.  So now, if they really feel this is important information for them to know, I would have them make appropriate skills checks based on how they describe their character going about figuring this information out.  On a success I would just copy-paste the randomly generated status. One thing about coming to age during OD&D and AD&D is that there are always random tables for these situations.</blockquote>
