Adventuresmith is an open-source Android app by Steve Christensen with a ton of random generators from many sources, including Stars without Number, Hack & Slash, and the Dungeon World supplement The Perilous Wilds.

Rather than dressing up the results, it just gives you the direct output as you would from rolling on the tables in the source material, and leaves it to you to figure out what to do with the asthmatic orc bandit or the tattooed Templar addict.
