d100 Petty Ghosts and Hauntings



So i did some goblin stuff before now here is the ghosts. Idea been kicking about since i worked on my gothic dungeon zone book but recently needed for my trench exploration games. Searching through haunted sappers trenches through petty phantoms is needed for con game next month. Have art fair this weekend paid gig which is nice. Got some nice APCs, more cars, planes and emhar brand ww1 brits and german supposed tank crews but do have lotsa heavy weapons.

While made for WW1 could be transposed to other times nd will revise a version if i ever do my gothic zone book for DnD.
