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.

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. Information from past titles like Fear Effects and Green’s Guide to Ghosts have been converted to Modern20 and new rules for Sanity have been developed specifically for this system!

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!

Howdy everyone! The voting booth is now open for the 2009 ENnie Awards. We are really excited that Fabled Environments has been nominated for the second year in a row in the category of Best Cartography. Their Victorian-style Mansion is a wonderful map. (I could only dream of living in a house like that!) Please take a couple minutes to head to the voting booth and cast your ballet. Unlike the Origins awards, the ENnie is a fan-driven award. Make your likes and dislikes heard!

Congratulations to our very own Charles and Krista White of Fabled Environments, on their second ENnie Nomination in a row. Their Victorian Style Mansion has made the short list for Best Cartography. Voting doesn’t open until July 24, but in the meantime Fabled Environments deserves a virtual pat on the back. Great job, and congratulations!
