    Ed Remembers Green’s Guide to Ghosts

    Early on, Jackson Green became one of my favorite characters (he was my character in our original games). He was a mix of Agent Mulder, hippy, and modern ghost hunter who believed everything he heard. We wanted to truly explore ghosts, spirits, and demonic entities and decided to do it as if the game were made…

    Preston’s Cosmology of Pinebox

    This is a guide that I’ve been wanting to write for years, and so with the upcoming Kickstarter of East Texas University: Fresh Blood, I’m happy to finally share this with the world. I’ll start with the elephant in the room: talking religion is always a touchy subject. While we make a point of steering…

    Ed Remembers the Journal of American Paranormal Research

    One of the best reviews I remember was when one reviewer said, (paraphrased) “12 to Midnight not only makes great products, but they give you more than what you actually buy.” We wanted to have two or three freebies on our website for everything we put out. We thought this would foster community and grow…

    Ed Reflects on Early 12 to Midnight Reviews

    Reviews of Last Rites really started after the Savage Worlds release.  One of the reviews is found at https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10451.phtml.  This guys’ review was spot on.  We made more than our share of mistakes on our first adventure.  It really should have ended with a confrontation with the mummy.  At the time we thought we would…

    Ed Wetterman Remembers Weekend Warriors

    Our second release was a modern military horror game written by Jerry Blakemore.  It was a zombie fest and I think was lots of fun.   One weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. That’s what they say– but with the need for troops in the middle east, you’ve been called up for…

    The Making of East Texas University

    Ed: I think it was sometime in 2008 at Origins that we were invited by Shane Hensley to sit in on a What’s Up with Pinnacle Panel.  We spoke about our idea for East Texas University, where you have to go to school, study, do research, and fight evil to save the world.  Shane liked…

    The “Last” Hurrah

    By 2007, we were doing great things.  We published The Beast Within by Mike DeSanto and Jerry Blakemore wrote Skinwalker. The Beast Within starts with a strange auto accident that leads to a murder investigation.  This adventure featured our Fear Effects rules.  When we were playtesting this one, Preston was acting as our Game Master…
