This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2014-02-24
Grav Palanquin v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer Archvillains who travel in style travel in a Grav Palanquin. Floating in a force screen bubble, the contragrav flyer provides both visibility and protection. The open platform has a throne for the pilot, surrounded by standing room for advisors and guards. Four automatic blasters with gun shields are mounted on the railing, each with a separate power cell. When the Grav Palanquin has landed, the forward part of the railing folds down into a stairway.
