ETU students fight monsters

Jerry’s Midnight Tales now available

thumbnail of cover for Jerry's Midnight TalesWe at 12 to Midnight are very pleased to announce the first release in a new series– Midnight Tales. The Midnight Tales line is a collection of short adventure outlines perfect for customization. Jerry’s Midnight Tales collects three of connected encounter outlines written by 12 to Midnight’s own Jerry Blakemore. These outlines were part of a story arc called Rising South, originally published in three issues of Modern Dispatch for the d20 System.

Jerry’s Midnight Tales brings Pinebox, Texas to life with a trio of short encounters against a small-town racist organization, the Texas National Militia. The first encounter, On the Steps of City Hall, violently introduces the heroes to life in Pinebox. In the following encounter, Mob Rules, a little rest and relaxation gets out of hand at one of Pinebox’s favorite hangouts. The series closes with Party Crashers, in which the conflicting powers behind Rising South collide.

In addition to the adventure outlines, Jerry’s Midnight Tales includes:

  • Profiles on two new Pinebox locations
  • Six maps Profiles on four new Pinebox personalities
  • One new organization—the Texas National Militia
  • One new creature—Blood Demon
  • Thirty Rising South-related plot points
  • Mob Rules—combat rules for mobs
  • Five pages of bonus Pinebox News, including an additional 20 plot points
  • 37 pages of content
  • Two PDFs: fully illustrated and bookmarked edition, plus printer-friendly edition
