d30 Adventuring Party Names

Given that my current games have: (1) multiple PC parties, (2) the implication that adventurers must be licensed by the state, and (3) the implication that there are many more NPC parties, I often find it necessary to come up with names for NPC parties on the fly. Here is a quick (or not so quick) table I threw together for doing so.
