Which book do you mostly use or which is considered the best book for rolling scenarios and ideas? I mostly use Maze Rats.

traveller for sure, you have a table for everything that you would need and as many for stuff you would never need

Oh you meant the books, not the physical table.
I like the Tome of Adventure Design, Tome of World Building, and Nomicon.

I have no idea if you mean random tables or books on world building but knave 2e has a ton of neat random tables in it.

The only game I play and relies on extensive tables is Pirate Borg.
I just don't get the appeal. If I want to come up with something randomly, I just do. Why the fuck I would consult three d100 tables for that, wasting so much fucking time for repetitive outcomes?

NTA but pirate borg is a mork borg-like, but about being pirates/privateers and fighting other pirates and zombies and naval combat and stuff. Its pretty neat, and has a lot of cool tables to boot.
