D&D Hamlet Generator - 5e Hamlets with NPCs and Shops
Generate a D&D 5e hamlet: population, a handful of buildings, the NPCs who run them, local weather, and rumors. Seeded, so one link rebuilds it.
A D&D 5e hamlet from this generator is a 3-to-6-building settlement of roughly 50 to 150 people: enough for a tavern, a couple of trade buildings, and the NPCs who run them, without the guild politics of a full town. Seed 4101 rolled Emberford, population 76, run by a Town Assembly, with a covered bridge doubling as the local gathering place.

Questions
- How big is a hamlet from this generator?
- Hamlets come out to 3 to 6 buildings and a population in the dozens to low hundreds. Emberford (seed 4101) has 76 people and 6 buildings including a tavern, stables, and a library. Stonewatch (seed 4102) has 98 people under a pair of Dual Consuls.
- What government types show up for hamlets?
- Hamlets get the same government pool as villages and towns; small settlements just as often land an Elder Council or Dual Consuls as a full Town Assembly, since a hamlet is a headcount and building-count range, not a separate government table.
