[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 230821, member: 775"] Shoot! I just looking at the original World of Greyhawk Boxed set from 1983. But I left it at home. But do seem to remember just before they came out with From the Ashes that the populations were boosted up quite a bit. I noticed this population change a few years ago. In my own campaign, I've explained this away by stating that despite all the trouble in recent years, the weather has been near perfect from season to season. Farmland has produced an abundance of crops. Thus famine isn't as common. Priests have been curing the sick. In civilized lands bathing is practiced. Thus life expectancy has gone up. Yeah, I know the population wouldn't explode like it did in the source books, but there is a reason behind it. A very dark and disturbing reason that I gather from past civilizations from our own Earth. A drastic population explosion means some kind of disaster is imminent. Like that which happened on Easter Island. Ulrick [/QUOTE]
