D100 Table: Random NPCs

So, Dungeons & Dragons is a game about dungeon crawling and dragon slaying, right?
Well yeah, we could say that´s all it’s about, but anybody who has ever explored a dungeon or killed a dragon knows there is a lot more in game, our world is built around cities, taverns, libraries, castles and a full world of NPCs. What we call worldbuilding.

Thinking in the need of having a solid worldbuilding, I would like to share with you a random NPC table for your world. So here it is:
