GURPS Vehicles: Transports of Fantasy

[Kromm]

Battle and treasure?
My advice to those on quests:
Prepare to travel

— Captain of the Skyship Pegasus

The climax of a fantasy tale almost inevitably involves a monster, artifact, battle, or treasure, but a significant fraction of such stories – perhaps the majority – involve the adventurers making some kind of journey. Epics (and, ahem, trilogies) are often lengthy for this reason: They tell of the heroes' progress not only in the figurative, moral sense, but also in the literal sense. Anything worth doing seems to be half a world away, showing off the protagonists' grit as they face bad weather, dangerous terrain, and ambushers, and providing ample opportunity to send them on side-quests.

And GURPS Vehicles: Transports of Fantasy provides suitable rides. Whether you require carts for peasant heroes, realistic ships for explorers and pirates, chariots and war wagons for larger-than-life warriors, anachronistic balloons and gliders, or the wild excess of dwarven steampunk engines and elven skyships, it's all here. Each ride comes with a description and full vehicle stats, rounded out with new rules and vehicular accessories.

Because sometimes, hoofing it won't get you to the dungeon on time.

I've been looking forward to this.

And I found the first typo: It talks about Dungeon Fantasy delvers returning loot to the original owners. Suspension of disbelief broken.
