Witchburner: the intimate, paranoid adventure

Witchburner is complete.

Update, 2019.02.08: this post has been made public, the patreon editions of Witchburner have been removed from it. For visitors or new subscribers, it is available at https://wizardthieffighter.itch.io/witchburner-halloween-edition .

It is about four times longer than I normally plan for a patreon .pdf or update, but between being gripped by the stories of the townspeople and the desire to try some new layout tricks ... I couldn't help myself.

I will very much appreciate reviews, comments, and feedback of all kinds. If you want to share some screenshots, that's perfectly cool.

Inside you will find:

• 64 pages, including covers.
• A brief description of the town with an ill-labelled map. Feel free to scrawl on it.
• A detailed breakdown of how to run the adventure.
• Simple rules for watches, alcohol, love, fear, the mob, and, yes, torture (I mean, it's witchburner, after all), as well as bit of filler from the Malleus Maleficarum.
• A breakdown on how I adapt OSR stats for play on the fly. This is also  applicable for the UVG.
• Some random encounters.
• Some "inexplicable witchcraft related phenoma"
• A tracker for 30 citizens
• A massive, watch-by-watch breakdown of a whole 30-day month (October, if you're asking. The 31st is not included).
• An even more massive breakdown of 30 townspeople (NPCs), their houses, treasures, secret lore, and household, giving you about 100 different NPCs.
• An appendix with some stuff
• And a little art - including a portrait of every one of the 30 NPCs (but on a single page). You can let your players play match the NPC with those.

Phew!

And this was supposed to be a short break from the UVG! Now I'm going to take another little rest, and then come back with a bit of further information later next week. As always - I'll be watching the comments.

Again, let me close with: thank you so much for your support. Without your support and encouragement, I would never have gone ahead and done this. Three cheers for you guys!

Edit: I removed the post-script after uploading an updated version, with the patron credits added and a final thank you map. The map is an 18th century original from the Wien archives and covers a part of the world that served as an inspiration for Witchburner. I haven't removed the previous version, because I'm a bit nervous about patreon's attachment handling capabilities.

Update, 2019.02.08: I have removed the Witchburner .pdf and made this post public, since we have moved on to other projects. If you are a new patreon subscriber, or would just like to purchase Witchburner, it is available on itch.io: https://wizardthieffighter.itch.io/witchburner-halloween-edition .
