OSR: Horrible Pirate NPC Generator

I really should have written these before the first session but I got distracted. Roll to flavour a crew, invent an enemy, detail an NPC, or come up with ideas on the fly. Here's a fancy PDF.

Chultan and Golden Isle names are taken from Wizards of the Coast's Tomb of Annihilation and TSR's Arabian Adventures, respectively. I don't want to wade into the mysterious logic behind the names the publisher chose to use. It makes it difficult to include more.

Yoon-Suin names are available here (along with a ton of other very useful tables, including 300 smells!).
