Viking Names and More Random Tables

Following up yesterday's post, here are some more tables for generating names on the fly.  The wandering monster tables (especially Zone 1, and dungeon level 1) will have a fair number of encounters with other humans.  Instead of encountering Veterans, Traders, Nobles, etc, it'll be much more interesting adding some details using the tables.

Everyone on the island came over on a longship in the spring, and the ships leave by summer's end; the ships are beached up and down the strand near Trade Town, and simple camps are set further up the beach away from the water.  As such, it's possible for adventurers to loosely dentify other groups they might have seen in the camps.  These tables include a list of ship names, adventuring companies, and sample reputations to help provide some color.  (None of these are historical, but should work fine for a fantasy game).  The last one is a list of period female names.

Here's how I see it working:
The party comes across an armed camp in the wilderness (Veterans).  The DM quickly determines the leader is (series of quick rolls) Hamand Thorvardson, whose group goes by the name of "The Jarls-Men".  If the characters have spent much time at Trade Town's drinking hall or otherwise picking up rumors, perhaps they know the Jarls-Men have a reputation for bravery.  Hamand's band of warriors came across on a ship called the Frost Giant's Head.  Perhaps a hostile encounter reaction roll is partially because back home, there's bad blood between one of the player character's family members and someone in Hamand's crew.  Out here, might makes right.

Much more interesting than saying, "You come across another group of Veterans."
