This week I’ve been thinking about in game economy and house rules. Specifically, about loot, grenades, and power armor. I’ve heard it again and again at tables – grenades are underwhelming damage particularly in relation to cost, nobody uses power armor because the returns aren’t worth the cost or because […]
I was recently in a discussion on Discord about alien threats in Starfinder. It started off with the Illithid from D&D, but I pointed out that the Dominion of the Black were far more frightening. As the conversation went on it became apparent that a not a lot of players […]
Today I’d like to talk about a couple of releases that just came out from Legendary Games (that I wrote, full disclosure.) First up is Planar Adepts. This is a 10 page supplement for Starfinder detailing the Planar Adept archetype available for any class. Master the elements, bend them to […]
There is something about Egyptology and Science Fiction. Whether it’s in movies, comics, or anime, putting Ancient Egyptian elements on top of or inspired by alien cultures is a running theme. I suspect it is due the period of time when Heiroglyphics were both easy to find and impossible to […]
As I was getting my first submission up on Starfinder Infinite, I found I was searching for a walkthrough on the process multiple times. Not a knock against the site, I just struggled with the specifics of creating the listing. So, my pain is your gain. Here is a walk […]
No regular blog post this week. Instead, I’m using this space to promote the Union efforts at Paizo. The people who create these games, these worlds, that we love so much, need a safe place to work, enough time to do the work well, and all the things that enable […]
As promised last week, more giant creature vs Mech action! This week we are looking at the Titan creature graft from Kaiju, Titans, and other Big Stuff. Just like the Kaiju creature graft from last week, the Titan graft is going to need an update to make it Mech combat […]
Tech Revolution has given us Mechs, but what about monsters to fight those Mechs with? Sure, you can just use stuff out of an Alien Archive, but you are going to quickly find there are not a lot of really big monsters to throw at your players, and that even […]
Tech Revolution has been out for a bit now, so I thought I’d do a quick rundown of building an NPC mech. Before I get to that though, let’s talk about Starfinder Infinite. Over the years I’ve made a lot of content here on Solo Run Studio. While a fair […]
This week let’s look at the new Tech Revolution book. I’ve been waiting for this one to come out for awhile (looking forward to mech rules!) so I’m eager to dig into it. First the Class section. The Nanocyte is a pretty beefy frontliner with some interesting abilities. Their key […]
