Far Avalon
A complete SF game setting from Avenger Enterprises

Far Avalon
Until ten years ago, the Far Avalon region was a backwater on the edge of uncharted space. Linked to the distant Home Worlds by the Translight Conduit at Lubeck, the region was home to dozens of colonies and small independent states overseen by the Colonial District Authority.

The Event
A decade ago, the Lubeck conduit failed for unknown reasons, cutting off Far Avalon from the rest of human space. Now each faction, each alliance and each government must chart its own course into an uncertain future.

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you all know that we have acquired all rights to the Lightspeed RPG.  Christian Conkle, creator of Lightspeed, will join other writers in continuing to provide new material for the setting.

As part of our Universe Project, we intend to fully support the setting with new material, as well as publishing the setting using a variety of rule systems (including the Hero System, the new Mongoose Traveller rules, and d6).

The flexibility of the Lightspeed setting will work very well with the Universe Project, and we hope that gamers continue to support the setting… and the option of getting it with a choice of systems.

You can learn more about Lightspeed by going to www.lightspeed-rpg.com

Keep Gaming!

Happy New Year! 

Hello all!

I hope that the new year is bringing with it a renewed joy and optimism for you!

We have been hard at work getting our lineup of Traveller products revised for the 1105 era, and the Mongoose Traveller rules and sent to Mongoose for publishing thru them.

In talking to gamers, one thing we have learned is that most people have their own preferences of game systems.  They do not need us, or anyone else, telling them which system best portrays science fiction, modern adventure, fantasy, superheroes, etc.  We have listened, and plan in the new year to focus on bringing a variety of games to you using a few different (and diverse) game systems.  This is one of the bases of the Universe Project, and will also be utilized as time goes on.

We are also planning a new line of products to be published right here at ComStar:

• A series of small game books:  Based upon the good response we have gotten for our Detectives game, we are planning on additional small game guide books.  In addition to releasing these for 3.5, we will look to release them for a variety of other game systems.
• Our first 4e Compatible product will be released in early 2009.  Markets and Merchants will provide 4e players with a good sourcebook at a very good price as an introduction of ComStar to 4e.
• The Universe Project:  It was my hope to make a big announcement of a setting acquisition that will form an important part of the UP tonight… but, unfortunately the announcement will need to be delayed until the final contracts can be signed.  The setting that we will be bringing to the UP has been around for a number of years, and has gotten VERY good response.  We will be looking to update it a bit and make it available for a variety of game systems (to include Hero, d6, and hopefully a couple of others that we will wait to announce).

I usually do not like to make hiring announcements here, but we are looking for freelancers that can do conversion work for us.  We can’t afford to pay a lot, but this is a paying gig.  If you are interested, please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  In your email, please let me know which systems you are most comfortable with.  [NOTE:  I do know that this is a different email than what is posted on some other forums].

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday weekend!  We will see you in the new year!

Keep Gaming!
