Sky Beyond the Darkness: NPC Generator Tables

I made these tables for use when playing Sky Beyond the Darkness to generate random NPCs (enemies, those in need, etc.) but thought others might find them useful. They could also be used for other RPGs too (except for stats). Feel free to only roll for the things you need (for example, you might not need to know what weapons a friendly NPC is carrying) or ignore things that don’t make sense.
