This one only runs for two days to mark the birthday of the bundle of holding thing

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Birthday2020

This offer launched Thursday, February 20, and runs for just two days, through 11PM Eastern US time (GMT -5) Friday, February 21. This promotional page expires at that time.

The Bundle of Holding launched 20 February 2013. We mark the site's seventh anniversary with this benefit offer featuring high-quality free RPGs we wouldn't otherwise be able to present in the Bundle format. You can download all these RPGs free elsewhere around the web (links below). But, for just a small donation, you get convenient access to them on your Wizard's Cabinet download page on the Bundle site -- and your entire donation (after gateway fees) goes to this offer's designated charity, The DOTS RPG Project. The DOTS RPG Project, a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2017, makes roleplaying games accessible to visually impaired players and other people with disabilities. DOTS has created 3D-printable Braille polyedral dice and Fate dice models, transcribes rulebooks in Braille, and works with publishers to address screen-reader accessibility.

We provide each ebook complete in .PDF (Portable Document Format). Customers who donate just US$1 get all six free ebooks in our Starter Collection as DRM-free .PDFs, including Heroes Against Darkness (a d20 FRPG from Hero Forge), Mercator (a conversion of Classic Traveller to the early Roman Empire), and all four issues of the remarkable mid-'90s journal of RPG criticism and analysis from Magnum Opus Press, Interactive Fantasy.

Those who instead donate $2 get all those books and also get our entire Bonus Collection with eight more free titles, including all four core books in the Harryhausen-inspired Old School RPG from Legrand Games Studio, Mazes & Minotaurs (the Players Manual, Maze Masters Guide, Creature Compendium, and M&M Companion); Lightmaster (both the Lightmaster Core Rulebook and the essential Book of Tables), the retro-clone from Gurbintroll Games for all those who fondly remember Iron Crown Enterprises and zillions of critical-hit tables; Never Tell Me the Odds, the space-scoundrel one-shot about risking it all; and Icar, the far-future SFRPG of a space empire where humanity's worst enemy is itself.

These would normally be free anyway, but if you buy them though this offer you're helping charity

...or someone else's work has been published under my name

...or someone has reprinted something I wrote without my permission

It's a Traveller adventure called Starfire published in 2016 by Star Quest Games, who apparently reprint old magazine adventures etc. I know nothing about this company - does anyone have any contacts, or know anything about them? I can only find one dealer selling it.

I've asked them for any info they can give me - we'll see what happens.

Anyone got this in their collection?

Later - I'm reliably informed that they did a bunch of Traveller in the early 90’s, including authors like Garth Nix and James Cambias. They were a small press operation run by James L. Shipman. The 2016 date on the page I linked to is probably an error.

Later still - someone selling a copy on eBay took a look inside for me - apparently the publisher (now deceased) adapted it from a Star Trek RPG scenario I wrote. I vaguely remember the adventure, but I can't for the life of me remember which magazine it appeared in - a lot of it was a big fight around a mining mass driver on an alien world. Ring any bells with anyone?
