First up, Witchburner, by wizardthieffighter, who did the writing and the art (and the compiling of a killer playlist of occult/doom/stoner metal to go with the game). It is a timed scenario that can pretty easily plugged in to 5E D&D or your OSR system of choice.

Gang, this thing is frickin’ brilliant. The players are recruited by the mayor of the town of Bridge to  root out the witch that has lately been tormenting the residents. They have a month to do it. Time management is key. The book breaks each day into four six-hour watches, of which one will generally be devoted to sleep. Each watch is enough time to do one thing thoroughly and, considering there are well over 30 (very detailed) NPCs living in town who might be the witch, things are going to be tight. Making matters trickier, the book provides detailed events for each day of the investigation as well as a system for managing growing paranoia among the townsfolks, which leads to no shortage of accusations, unrest and, if the players aren’t careful, full blown riots.

And that is really just the tip of the iceberg. There is a ton of material crammed into Witchburner’s 70 pages, all of it fantastic. I can’t wait to run it for my group.
