I’m working on more content for y’all, but this week is just a little bit of a grab bag. First off, I’ve been working on some new character art, something to use for your more martial Starfinder characters. I’ve been calling him the Castrovel Devil. Next up, I’ll be part […]
This week the world bore witness to the epic battle between a gigantic radioactive dinosaur and a really big gorilla. Of course, the movie offers more than that, with some twists, additional monsters, and more, but the core narrative is kaiju battles, and it does not disappoint. Seems like this […]
If you like what you read on Solo Run Studio, I can honestly say that the work I’ve done for publishers, which benefits from editors and other writers collaborating on it, is exponentially better. Here is a list of my recent publications: Mental Mysteries: This expansion product for Starfinder brings […]
This week we return again to Pacific Rim: The Black. I gave some thought as to what to take on – I don’t want to spoil the show for anyone who hasn’t watched it yet, but I don’t want to just stat up a simple kaiju without any interesting mechanics […]
I know I said last week I don’t really like giant robot shows, and while that is true, Pacific Rim has a special place in my heart. The Jaegers are a bit goofy (the only way to fight kaiju is in giant robots with psychically linked pilots? Really?) but as […]

Lots of interesting concepts, but one that immediately caught my eye was the way the Union forces used militarized nanotech to […]
Every GM has had that moment: how do you bring together the lashunta space guitar playing pilot, the android freedom fighter, the skittermander necromancer with ties to the Old Ones, and the pahtra infosphere star envoy, and somehow get them all motivated to adventure together. It’s a classic TTRPG problem, […]
Back this week after Valentines and a Snowpocalypse! Watching the new Mortal Kombat trailer, I was struck by a contrast – other game systems have low level spells that allow the caster to do a base line of damage and minorly reposition their target, but Starfinder just has some low […]
In SciFi stories, shows, movies, and other media, just how alien the ‘aliens’ turn out to be is often on a sliding scale of alien-ness. Sometimes they just have a different forehead (you know what shows I’m talking about) and sometimes they are so alien they are incomprehensible. Usually they […]
One idea that shows up in a lot of speculative fiction is the idea of Humanity transcending a single biology, through a variety of different technologies. In this concept, the human form is mutable and individuals can shape their body to conform to an environment, or even just a personal […]
