[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 9582402, member: 6788732"] I do something similar rather than defining actual numbers. On rare occasions it somewhat matters like when I ran a mass battle for my group, but actual demographic information I like to use a system taken from Matt Colville and define how likely you are to meet a certain race. He used the following descriptions: [B]Dominant[/B]. Can be found anywhere in any district of the steading, basically runs the steading. [B]Minority[/B]. Can also be found in any district of the steading but they have less political power. [B]Enclave[/B]. Can be found in a single district/neighbourhood and tend to stick there. Individuals might be found outside the district but if you want to speak to them, you go to where they tend to stay. [B]Group[/B]. Really small perhaps fewer than 12. A delegation from a nation might be a group. [B]Individuals[/B]. You might find these throughout the steading but you don't necessarily find them in large groups. They are not part of any native subculture. [B]Singular[/B]. Literally only a single creature such as a single beholder leading a thieves guild. My small town of Draven's Watch is like the following.
