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, 2015-01-05
Delgado Deep Nine Prospecting ATV v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL9) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer This specialized All-Terrain Vehicle mounts a drill rig and a geophone for survey work.
