SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any published large fantasy cities?

Quote from: RPGPundit;939944Constantinople may have had a population over 1 million by a certain point in its history, but the late 15th century would not have been it.  The population was far more wiped out by the Turkish conquest than previously believed. It was repopulated, of course, by Ottomans when it was Istanbul, but that would have been later. Not sure when, post-15thC it would have hit one million.

It was down to the low tens of thousands by the time of the fall of the city in 1453. The Ottomans appeared to rebuild it back to 500,000 and then it took off when modern sanitation and water supply were installed in the late 19th century.
