From the Wikipedia article
Starstone is a fantasy role-playing adventure published by Northern Sages in 1982. Supposedly a "universal" adventure that could be used with any role-playing system, Starstone was an effort to create an unlicensed Dungeons & Dragons adventure.

Background
Description
Starstone is a fantasy campaign setting that the publisher claimed could be used with any set of role-playing rules such as Dungeons & Dragons or RuneQuest. Reviewer Robert Hulston disagreed, calling this claim "a thinly veiled disguise, for Starstone seems to have been designed primarily for use with the D&D game universe." The book is divided into an introductory adventure and two scenarios that are all set in Starstone County, a troubled region that includes multiple villages, a dungeon inhabited by goblins, a mine run by dwarves, and the lair of a dragon.
