Mechanics
What you'll find here is a cross between fluffy expansion on the settings that I enjoy and the crunchy mechanics of the various rule systems. Game mechanics will cover anything from classes, races, feats, and/or skills. Check how an article is tagged to see if it's for the system you're looking for. It might not be, but can hopefully be adapted easily.
Setting Expansion
What follows is the result of a lot of discussions, years of gaming, and running campaigns. If I came up with a unique location, be it a city, faction, guild, or other such fictional group, you'll find details in the following articles.
Archetypes
Archetypes for a variety of characters and settings can all be found here. Genres range from fantasy to science fiction settings and everything in between.
Allies & Adversaries
The style of these characters varies wildly from a quick paragraph and basic stat block to full-blown character sheet. The reason is that some are actual characters I've played (or planned to play and never got the opportunity) and others were NPCs that I used during the course of a campaign, but there was never any direct conflict so full stats weren't really necessary. I find it handy to have a bunch of names and basic backgrounds on hand during a session because, inevitably, a player will ask what the shop keeper looks like even when it's not really relevant. Far from a bad thing, but it's caught me off guard.
Adventures
What follows are simple Hook/Line/Sinker adventures, complete campaign story arcs, or minimal nuggets that have popped into my head as the result of some player action. Some I have used, others I never got around to, but all could serve as some inspiration for your own campaigns.

A World Torn Asunder (Part 2)
This is part two of my article regarding what, I believe, the outcome of the major conflicts on Rifts Earth will be. This second part covers most of the Eastern Hemisphere (Africa and Australia will be covered, hopefully, in Part Three). I will, hopefully, give some information regarding the…

A World Torn Asunder (Part 1)
A while ago, I got into a debate about the many fronts the Coalition faces, how this might affect them, and the possibilities of who might win. It also turned out to be a great discussion about the factors that could affect the outcome of every war the Coalition States has entered in to, mostly…
Adventures
Freedom!
The year is 107 P.A. and the world is ravaged by war. The Coalition has fallen back against Free Quebec's army, unable to defeat them after over a year of battle. They now concentrate on Tolkeen, hoping to defeat them quickly, stamping the citizens and inhuman creatures out of existence. The…
Adventures
Mingling with the Enemy
This campaign is based off something I saw on the Internet some time ago. I've included the documents that the characters receive to get you started with the campaign. You'll also find the names and mini-bios of all the NPC villains and some information for an outcome. Enjoy... To: Special Ops…
Setting Expansion
The Brodkil Empire
The Brodkil Empire arose out of the efforts of several Brodkil warlords. It began before the Post-Apocalyptic calendar as a few scattered tribes allied together to destroy the, then fledgling, NGR. The tribes' warriors, all superior to the devastated human population, came crashing out of Russia,…

The House of Chi
The House of Chi is a more recent addition to Amaki society. It was started by a group of Amaki wishing to begin an official schooling program for mages of all types. What started as a small group of a dozen wizards has grown into a large house capable of repelling almost any invasion due to it's…

The Wizard Frost
Kanda Frostpath, known to everyone around him simply as Frost, is strange Wolfen, at least among the Ice Eye Tribe. Frost has forsaken the primary religion of the tribe and has left to aid the world, wolfen and non-wolfen alike. This has caused some strained relations between Frost and his people.…
Adventures
Seek & Ye Shall Steal
Hook: The character group has at least one Sword Bearer in the group. One of these characters' artifacts is more powerful than they can imagine. Currently, the player is still discovering it's power and knows that it allows him, a once normal human, to Mirror Walk. Line: The artifact has an…
Adventures
The Horn of Destiny
Hook: Lord Magog holds the Horn of Destiny and the players' group consists of one Sword Bearer (or one person with the potential to become a sword bearer). Line: The Horn of Destiny is calling to the player, giving him visions and dreams in an attempt to convince the player that they should be…
Adventures
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 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,…
Adventures
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
Hook: The Hotel Eternal has had more than it's share of strange happenings after a guest stayed within it's walls. The Spook Squad has two agents inside already, but there's something fishy going on. Line: The Spook Squad has decided to send in the player characters to investigate the strange…
