D&D 5E Best Random Adventure/NPC/Exploration/Etc Generator Books

[mserabian]

Title says it all! I'm looking for suggestions on good Random Generator/Tables books for Adventure Generation, NPC Generation, Travel/Exploration Encounters, etc..

I've seen this: "The Game Master's Book of Non-Player Characters" and this "The Game Master's Book of Random Encounters" but both are really just a big list of NPCs/Encounters not a generator (although I must admit they booth seems pretty good).

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

thanks...

Yoon Suin. It's the best D&D setting I've purchased in 30 years of gaming, and it has A LOT of generator tables

Plus slugmen!

I really like the Dungeon Dozen blog and he's got a book out. All manner of tables which appeal to my comedic sensibilities.

The random NPC tables in the DMG can produce several billion unique characters.

Ultimate Campaign and Gamemastery Guide from Pathfinder both have a bunch of tables for all sorts of stuff.

Here are a few I am using on top of Donjon. If you were running 3.5 or Pathfinder I would have a library of links for you heh.
