d100 Anacronistic Encounters for near that gateway

These left over from my long stairs game tables and i had to edit out of my redbrick encounters recently so here is a full table to add freaks from time and space in your dungeon.

I always loved the film Time bandits and the time travellers who all get horribly killed fighting evil.

Most games wouldn't suit this but Planet Psychon would.

Feel free to put gun users on last ammo supply.
