Welcome to The Editor's Wastebasket - a site dedicated to tabletop RPGs and a broad range of systems. I started this site when I was a prolific player of Palladium Books' games, the Rifts RPG in particular. Post-college, I played a mix of Palladium games and Dungeons & Dragons, Revised 3rd Edition (aka D&D 3.5). After that, things became a bit murky as I sought other systems and, in some cases, write some of my own titles (you should check out Apokalyptic Publishing if you're so inclined).

A Forever GM, I have been running all things Savage Worlds since 2008, with my gateway drug being 50 Fathoms (because who doesn't enjoy a great pirate-themed roleplaying game?). Since then, I've also played and run games using TinyD6 (Gallant Knight Games), 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).

If you like what I'm doing here, you can buy me a coffee to support my efforts!

A Day at the Mall

This campaign is something that could be run in Beyond the Supernatural or Nightbane (though it would probably be suited to take place on or before Dark Day). The characters should already know each other by now, if not, it could certainly be an interesting introduction. The players are on their…

Grron was born in the Old Kingdom among one of the most vicious tribes of the region, The Demon's Paw.

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

The New German Republic Revisited

When I first bought Triax and the NGR, I expected it to contain information much like the other books. Government information, notable NPCs, and city descriptions. What I found was far different. The book contained weapons, equipment and power armor, but no information on the cities of the NGR. It…
