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.
