We at 12 to Midnight were privileged to be with Krista and Charles from the very beginning as they formed their cartography studio Fabled Environments, and it is with immense pride that we announce that our former map imprint is striking out on their own. Fabled Environments’ reputation for their outstanding Modern Floorplans series is well deserved. I hope you’ll bookmark their store at RPGNow, and if you’re missing any of the maps in the line, I’m sure they’d consider their first month’s sales a great housewarming gift!

As we head into the Christmas season, it is with a certain amount of sadness that I announce the upcoming closure of our online store midnightcellar.com. We really appreciate everyone who gave it a try, but it has become apparent that we are spending more on enhanced hosting than we’re making in profit from the store. We have decided to allow the domain name to expire on its January 1 anniversary. If there’s anything you’d like from the store, please plan on making your purchase prior to then. Of course, you can always find 12 to Midnight products on RPGnow, DriveThruRPG, DriveThruHorror, e23, and the Studio 2 online store.

Believe it or not, we began working on ETU: Degrees of Horror back in 2007. There were times when we were prolific, and times when we set it aside for several months. Now that the first draft is done and we’re working on revisions and refinement, we wanted to reward our loyal fans for their patience while we worked on this book. This sneak peek covers all of chapter one, much of the character creation chapter, character sheets, a new mechanic for creating inventions, and a pair of adventures you can play. The layout is something special for the teaser, and shouldn’t be taken as representative of the final book. We’re calling this a “beta” because we’re seeking your input on the rules, but be assured this 32 page PDF is just the tip of the iceberg!

Just in time for Halloween 12 to Midnight releases Horror20, a handbook for running horror games in the Modern20 system by RPG Objects! This book has tons of great stuff.

The book also comes with tons of new feats, creatures, skills and equipment as well has GM tips for running a kick-ass horror game. And at only $8.95 for nearly 100 pages of good stuff how can you go wrong? Grab your copy from The Midnight Cellar, RPG Object’s store or RPGNow and start planning that all night Halloween terror session TODAY!

So the next game in your modern campaign is coming up pretty soon. Got your maps lined up? You’ve got the mansion for the big boss, you’ve got the diner for the information drop. How about the mobile home for the safe house? You don’t? Well that’s okay, because the ENnie-nominated Fabled Environments has you covered. Their latest floorplan pack features two styles of mobile homes (aka “trailer houses”). The 2 bed / 2 bath single-wide floorplan would make a great layout for a nondescript safe house or hostage standoff site. The 3 bed / 2 bath double-wide trailer features an office with closet, making it a great layout for down-on-their-luck NPCs working from home or even an underground gambling house.
Go ahead and pick up a copy today. Why put it off? At only $1.99, it’s not getting any cheaper! It’s already cheaper than a movie. It’s cheaper than any game book at your table. Heck, it’s cheaper than a set of dice! Get your Modern Floorplans today!
