Chthonian Stars was adapted for Mongoose Publishing’s Traveller RPG. After careful thought and consideration, we decided to separate association with Traveller and rebranded it as The Void. Part of the rebranding meant coming up with a new title, logo, and page design since the format changed from traditional 8 1/2“ x 11” to a smaller 6” x 9” format. All graphic design work on this page by Mike Vaillancourt.
