I managed to publish a course and load it to my LMS without ever saving the course, and then my computer crashed. I now have everything up again, but I only have the output file. I do not have the .story file. Is it possible to open, publish, and save this project from the output files?

There may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer:
%appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
2) Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
Also, be sure to always create, edit, and publish projects on your local hard drive. Working from a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior due to latency, such as file corruption, an inability to save changes, and loss of resources. See this article for details.
Also, please note, that responding to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature, but you are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
I was working on a network drive, so that information is very helpful in addition to checking the temporary files. I appreciate your advice and your quick response. Thanks!

There is no way traverse engineer an output file.
As you have not saved I doubt you will be able to recover anything.
Thank you for your reply.
