Welcome to The Editor's Wastebasket - a site dedicated to tabletop RPGs across a broad range of systems. I started this site when I was a prolific player of games by Palladium Books, the Rifts RPG in particular. Post-college, I played a mix of Palladium games and Dungeons and Dragons, Revised 3rd Edition (aka D&D 3.5). After that, things become a bit murky as I began to experiment and, in some cases, write some of my own titles (you should check out Apokalyptic Publishing if you're so inclined).
Since about 2008, I have been a prolific player of all things Savage Worlds, with my gateway drug being 50 Fathoms (because who doesn't enjoy a great pirate-themed roleplaying game?). Since then, I've dabbled in Tiny D6 (Gallant Knight Games), the AGE System (Green Ronin Games), and now spend my game planning time either running some of my favorite old settings using a new system (such as Dragonstar for D&D 3.5, but run using Savage Worlds: Adventure Edition and the updated Fantasy Companion) or cobbling together epic high fantasy adventures in my own setting (coming "soon" from Apokalyptic Publishing).

Allies & Adversaries
Grron One-Eye
Grron was born in the Old Kingdom among one of the most vicious tribes of the region, The Demon's Paw. The tribe frequently raided area settlements of Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes, only occasionally launching attacks into the Empire of Sin's territories. However, Grron believed that if the sub-humans…Allies & Adversaries
Neklor Darkblade
Neklor was born into slavery. He didn't have a choice, not even a fighting chance. He was simply raised that way. Neklor, however, wasn't like the other ogre slaves. Yes, he was still forced to do manual, hard labor, but he showed more intelligence than most of his brethren. Perhaps that is why,…

The Devil Came to Miami
The player characters are members of the Seekers faction (or have been hired by the Seekers) to solve a most puzzling murder. A high-ranking member was murdered in his sleep, and there is no sign of forced entry and very few clues to go on. The only clue points to a second high-ranking member, one…Adventures
The Hotel Eternal

Goblins and Orcs and Trolls! Oh My!
Yes, I realize this is the first Palladium Fantasy thing I've put up, but I have more. I just have to finish the coding. At any rate, this is just a small adventure that could lead to a larger campaign, if the allustrious GM so wishes it. I hope you enjoy this. And please This email address is…

Beneath an Ever Shifting Gaze
"Shifter." You have no idea how much I hate that name. It sounds like an expletive, almost, like something unpleasant that schoolboys call each other, for which their mothers wash out their mouths. Not only does the very name itself sound unclean, but it doesn't describe anything. "Ley Line…Adventures
New York, New YAAAHHH!!
Ok, this is my first real campaign for Nightbane. I've never actually played the game, but I've read the books well enough to get a good idea of the game. I know that when I run my first Nightbane campaign, this will probably be the campaign I use. Unless I happen to come up with something better…Adventures
The Shop
This campaign is for Rifts. It's not a full campaign, but it could easily lead to one. Read on to find out exactly how... Background: I came up with this campaign idea after reading the article on the Operator O.C.C. in Rifter #5. An excellent article and a must read for anyone. The characters…Setting Expansion
The House of Lunas
The House of Lunas is one of the six Amaki houses of New Babylon. The House of Lunas is named for the moon and the moon's color, silver. Now, it is also named for the color of the assassin's blade. It is one of the less scrupulous houses among the Amaki clans and shelters many spies and assassins,…Setting Expansion
The House of Swords
By the title, I'm sure you can all figure out exactly what I'm talking about, and for those of you who don't, I'm talking about New Babylon. It's found in one of the untouchable books in the South America series (South America 2 to be exact) and probably one of the most munchkin series of books in…Setting Expansion
Thieves' Guilds of Palladia
Palladium never really touched on this, though they have given prices for the various services that the guilds perform, they never touched on the guild's structure. Granted, there is no universal organization of thieves' guilds, the organization and even frequency will vary with the country or…Setting Expansion
A Demon's View of Things
A sorcerer came to me one day; it was strange, he wanted to know things, research he said. I being who I am, was confused, not fully understanding the mortal's need for this knowledge. Oh, but you must excuse me. You don't know who I am. Some call me Zimerath, others, Chertovkah, and still others,…Setting Expansion
