I'm trying to build a city for my game but I'm having trouble. I'm hopeing this is the right place to seek help. I've read and re-read the section in the DMG about building communities, but I just can't seem to ge my head around it.

What I want is a stat block with population, power center information, important NPCs, and whatever other information is neccessary. So can someone help me figure out how to do this?

You can find a town generator here (http://www.aarg.net/~minam/npc.cgi).

In this DMG Web Enhancement (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20030719a), there are instructions on how to build a city, one district at a time.

I've used the book Cityscape to make two very detailed cities, which are probably the best organized part of my campaign world, and the DMG II goes into more detail into it as well.
