That was an unexpected namecheck, thanks!  Prompted me to update the boardgamegeek list to add the last year and a bit's worth of releases!

Excellent work , Sheridan.

And here's the other challenge from the episode.
Who is the artist on this grail page pick by Jim? Taken from the Traveller Dredd rpg rulebook if I remember correctly.


Lobo Baggins

Also like to say thanks for the namecheck!

I don't remember the artist, but it's from a subscriber exclusive poster from about 2004 or 2005 - Jim would need to have a pretty big wall, I seem to recall it was almost quad poster sized!

I used it as a background image for the Gangs of Mega-City One articles in Mongoose's Signs & Portents Wargamer magazine, so it's probable that the picture in the Dredd RPG book is the scan I made of my poster (and a right pig it was to scan in it was, too!)

It's Unamerican Graffiti, which I believe was concocted on this very forum!

I'm pretty sure it's by Kev Walker and was originally done for the 1995 film - can anyone corroborate?

Barney says it was Greg Staples with design by Wake

Yes, Steve Green on the facebook page wins the no-prize for being the first person to identify the Staples droid for me and Jim.
Thanks for all the extra info about the poster, the scanning(!), and the games.

A chat with Ian Grant about Major Eazy from Battle Picture Weekly, featuring some stunning work by Carlos Ezquerra and Alan Hebden.
Has anyone read the version with the Sylvester Stallone introduction?
