Description
This is a Christmas Package Coupon for the American Expeditionary Forces, circa 1918. A potential unopened package that may hold clues in a Call of Cthulhu/Lovecraft based game.
It can be used in a campaign taking place during the Great War, perhaps a family member uses it to send a secret message...perhaps the wrong package gets to a character revealing a clue? It can even be used in later era games as it may be in the estate of some dead npc... Use it however you want.
The Box/Wrapping
A paper lunch bag makes a useful wrap for packages in the standard box used for shipping being 9 by 4 by 3 inches, and it's easy enough to make. I use strings to wrap over the top, and use paste to affix the coupon.
