Thanks to these wunnerful boards, I got plenty of help and got the question answered. Also thanks to the wunnerful boards, I can't find the original post. Consider this one more in what's probably a long line of requests to reinstate searches. If anyone here can provide either advice about city size or a link to my original query, that'd be just lovely. Thanks. J

Florence with 100, 000 population had the following: 30 hospitals, 80 banks, 600 lawyers, 100 apothecaries and 60 physicians/surgeons, standing army of 700-1 000 mounted mercs. seems there would be plenty of taverns around for all of us DM's to run campaigns and never bump into one another.
