Hi everyone,
I'm writing an urban campaign for levels 10-16 (ish) but World building has always been a weak spot for me (as my only experience as DM was doing a RHOD module). Considering how high level the campaign is and I want to have some high level npc's and enemys to fight, I was thinking of making the city a metropolis. But there are lots of little things I don't have a clue where to start, like say the size of the police force guarding the city, how big the city is to support the population, residentual/commercial areas and a million other little things a city needs to feel alive.
Does anyone have any advice on how to build the nuts and bolts of a city for an urban campaign?
