Fantasy- Tables by Purpose

Physical
Tables designed to generate physical objects, beings, locations, or collections of such.

Fantasy Physical Tables

Intangible
Tables designed to generate concepts, such as NPC personality and relationships, names, plot hooks, and so forth.

As regards NPCs, if it gives you their physical stats and abilities, it's physical. If it gives you their motivation, personality, or relationships, it's intangible. It can be both at the same time, in which case it should be placed in both categories.

Fantasy Intangible Tables

Events
Physical tables generate physical objects, Intangible tables give you intangibles, and Event tables tell you what happens. Random Encounter tables, Critical Fumble tables, and tables of plot hooks all go here. Inspirational tables should also go here, as they fit here better than anywhere else.

Fantasy Event Tables

Remember, a table can belong in multiple categories, for example, this table,which gives you the physical details (how many men are on the ship, how well the ship handles), the intangibles, like the personality of the captain and the way he relates to his crew, and some events that might happen on the ship en route.
