Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society, Issue 2 (1979), Best of JTAS 1 [open] (1980), and Scouts & Assassins (1981). GDW had a long history of working with fan/creators. Here's just one example: The Serpent Class Scoutship from Don Rapp's Traveller RPG campaign, printed in JTAS 2, reprinted in BofJTAS1, and finally in Rapp's own Paranoia Press publication (+ a deckplans sheet!).

Marc Miller wrote in the introduction to Scouts & Assassins:
"Don Rapp's Traveller adventures have been a continuing delight to many people, including the Workshop staff, almost since the original publication of Traveller. His Paranoia Press, and his Narapoia campaign play-by-mail adventures are a continuing source of spare time entertainment for several members of the Workshop's design staff. Don's situations are challenging to the intellect as well as good clean fun."
