That's friggin' brillant. I see now there's going to be a web series called "I Hit It With My Ax', where ⌧ stars play D&D. Makes me wonder why I still play Traveller.

I tried to check it out. I'm assuming the massive influx of would-be viewers caused the site to crash. Or maybe the DM just needed a fluffer. 
"I Hit It With My Halberd" would be more Traveller.
Available for purchase at "Ye Oldde Game Shoppe".
p.s. sorry, that line's been used before, but I thought it fit perfectly here.

Ya know, my first Traveller character was a Scout armed with a laser carbine and a broadsword. We all came from D&D and we all used swords a lot more back then in Traveller than guns. Or at least it never seemed out of place. After all, a broadsword or halberd isn't a bad weapon for use against battledress, and that's the +5 plate of Traveller.

Someone once said...
...that which we call an axe, by any other name would cleave as sweet.

This one lacks the zest of Monsters & Treasure. Maybe it's me or maybe Traveller's original classy, understated artwork doesn't mesh well with the crude design and ass-bad artwork of OD&D. Let the critics decide.

Those seriously rock the casbah!
Do you have them in higher res?
I hope there will be a third volume!

I love it!
The art on the first cover is perfect! It reminds me of the suits I used to see in the books i read as a kid.
Maybe the starship needs a bit more of the "Willy Ley" look to it, rather than the 70's cleanline look? Still brilliant stuff, however.
Makes me glad I posted my gag--I'm never sure how my own attempts at humor are going to come across.
ETA:
Nah, the ship itself is fine, on second look. Perhaps make the line weight a little heavier around the outline of it?

More Willy Ley? That's the Kinunir from adventure #1. It does not get any more Classic Traveller that that.

Here's the last of the Traveller trilogy. Sharp eyed readers will notice that this is a second printing.

I'm re-covering all my LBB's.

I'd think SMC (Spinward Marches Campaign - not an LBB though) would be more the Greyhawk wouldn't it?
EDIT: Ah! The first Greyhawk publication! Not the Greyhawk Gazetter(?). Right, yeah, that could be more like the LBB4-7.

Me, I'd say Greyhawk followed by Blackmoor, I guess. I'd put he Arduin Grimoire, as wonky as it is, on the same level as the Paranoia Press stuff.
Too bad there was never a Traveller equivalent of the Fiend Folio. Or maybe we should count our blessings there wasn't.

Supplement 2 - Animal Encounters ("Animals, Beasts, and Monsters" per the advertising)
I recall thinking both the first and second FF were stinkers back in the day, never saw the third.

You're very welcome! Glad to see something that started out as a dumb joke in a chatroom get appreciated like this.
Point of clarification for those unfamiliar with the old LBBs or JTAS. The artwork I used came from the following (in the order I used them)-
The iconic Space Cowboy, Adventure 1
The Kinunir, Adventure 1
Kudebeck's Gazelle, JTAS #2
Credit where it's due and all that.
