My Friday 5e game has been proceeding apace for several months now. They have defeated the evil empire and so on. Now they are headed back for the Rock of Bral. They will be headed to White Plume Mountain in Space to get money for their own ship next. After that? What I need is tables. I need many tables. I have looked around online and found encounter tables for monsters and such but I need more than that. I need settlement tables and such. I need ones that make sense for Spelljammer. Any suggestions?
F.A.T.A.L. has you covered. Many excellent tables for all kinds of creatures you might interact with, and if you're looking to map things out, tables on lengths and circumferences.

Sure, OP is vague to the point of attempting to answer his question is (mostly) pointless without more info, but this is also kind of a dick move.

It's a dick move, on the whole. Fortunately F.A.T.A.L. has multiple tables for that.
yosemitemike How about Table Fables I and II? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1542678595/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1542678595&linkCode=as2&tag=alanbjorkgren-20&linkId=ab2ca77b9413717f7b88fd7fe4b467cd (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1542678595/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1542678595&linkCode=as2&tag=alanbjorkgren-20&linkId=ab2ca77b9413717f7b88fd7fe4b467cd)
Humble Bundle introduced me to an author named Matt Davids and his www.dicegeeks.com page. His entire business appears to be tables. I don't know anything else about him so YMMV, but there are many, many tables, and they seem okay to me.
Also, our proprietor puts a lot of tables in his books. As I understand it you can generate entire enemy/rival factions in a few minutes and can't get the same result twice.
Hope these suggestions help...

Yeah I realized as soon as I posted it that my wording was... poorly chosen.
Stars Without Number has tables for space, and An Echo, Resounding has tables for settlements. Although popping the pdfs open now they have less than I remembered from their reputation, they're still a start.

Bah! A table is just a fancy list of things with numbers next them.

I never ended up buying it, but it bills itself as a creation kit for spelljammer style sandboxing, so might be just what you need.

It's not exactly Spelljammer but it looks like it could be adapted on the fly without much trouble. Thanks.
