d100 Vehicles, transport, and steeds

Two water buffalo escaped film set in Newtown this week and walked down main street. Sydney just like that.

This is for any gonzo fantasy or science fantasy setting. But just change your dice or pick tables for your setting. A cyborg beaverhawk may not work in Middle Earth. I like idea and will do more specific genre setting tables later.

First table for a variety of transport, second set for my fantasy setting and third for Psychon.

Thanks to suggestion from

JDJarvis.
