ETU students fight monsters

12 to Midnight Welcomes Trey Gorden

We at 12 to Midnight are pleased to announce the addition of Trey Gorden to the company’s cadre of executive officers. Trey joined us last Spring as an editor and over the last year has proven his worth with his professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Those traits have earned Trey the position of Executive Editor and a full stake in the corporation. This brings the number of shareholders and executive officers up to five. The other four officers are Jerry Blakemore, Preston DuBose, TC Largent, and Ed Wetterman.

Trey Gorden, Executive Editor
Trey has been gaming since Gygax was a pup. Well, maybe not quite that long—let’s just say he started sometime in the late seventies. He got his first taste of horror gaming at a convention in Dallas (Origins 84?), with a brand new game by Pacesetter called Chill. Sandy Petersen’s Call of Cthulhu was not far behind; and that has led, as it inevitably must, to bothering 12 to Midnight writers about dangling participles and subject-verb agreement.

He spent his youth tramping around in the Pineywoods of East Texas pretending to be, depending on his mood, either Legolas or Nyarlathotep. Now, with his wife and daughter, he haunts the misty mountains and damp cafés off the country’s upper-left-hand corner. He never outgrew roleplaying games and, as predicted, this has stunted his development and prevented him from ever amounting to anything.
