This is one of the illustrations I made last year for the Traveller card game.

I had started talking about it a while back, then I got distracted by the whole moving abroad thing (the ordeal of which started right about the date of the entry just linked) and I never got around to posting the rest of the artwork I made for the project.

So here’s another one, quite clearly titled Bodyguard.

Pasting directly from its page on BoardGameGeek:

A card game with trade, exploration and combat in Marc Miller’s classic RPG setting, The Third Imperium.

Traveller is a card game adaptation of Marc Miller’s classic Science-Fiction role-playing game. Players assume the role of ship Captains plying the mains of the Third Imperium.

The game has been designed to accommodate 2-4 players, but it also supports solo play and we anticipate releasing special solo play scenarios and game modes. Single and two-player games should last about 30 minutes. Three or four will go for 45-60 minutes.

Traveller is non-collectable. There’s no random allocation of cards, and no rarities. Every product is a fixed set, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.

Our basic mechanics are an icon-driven race game, with ample opportunities to interact with, and even engage in piracy against, other players. All Captains must also contend with a hostile galaxy and the looming threat of insolvency.

Since the shipping of the game is ongoing right now, it looks like my being late is in fact quite well timed.

I’ll post a few more shortly.
