Reception

[edit]

In Issue 6 of the British games magazine Games International, Paul Mason stated that "While it's not the kind of thing to buy for ideas, if trying to run a reasonably standard science fiction campaign, Stardemon provides a useful stop-gap scenario which could set up several recurring plot themes." Mason concluded by giving the adventure an average rating of 3 out of 5.[1]

In Issue 69 of the French games magazine Casus Belli, Croc noted the lack of support and publicity given to this product, wryly asking "You do not know anything about it? Me neither."[3]
