Alexotron released Invaders!, a short RPG that places players in the role of alien spies living in secret on Earth suck on this insignificant rock until you can get a new assignment from the Galactic Hierarchy while trying to stay hidden from the secret government agency The Bureau attempting to hunt down alien intruders.
And for the other side of that dynamic, ohhigames has Project: Blue Skies, a solo journaling RPG inspired by the 1960s UFO research projects going through reports from across the country determining which are legitimate sightings of unknown aerial phenomena, which are hoaxes, and which might just be from beyond the stars.

If you want more adventure for Shadowdark, Hrafn Forge has The Caves of Respite, ancient halls in the craggy folds of the Frostfang Highlands overrun by a motley assortment of unsavory inhabitants, sort of like these caves are a bit chaotic.
Once you’ve gone to the borderlands for the keep and tamed the chaos of the caves, your 3rd level party in Shadowdark may want to visit The Arachnid Queen Velga from Deanna Bollinger-Hill to free the villagers and townfolk from the demonic webs from the pit of this spider queen.
Thank you for calling the Busted Wizard Helpline have you tried counterspelling and casting again?

The Pathfinder Infinite adventure A Missing Rat Problem from Val Athenar is a new twist on the classic low-level “rats in the basement” adventure by sending your 1st level party into the basement of retired wizard Mildred Dubois to find and safely retrieve her pet dire rat that hasn’t been seen coming up the basement stairs for food and pets for three days.
Designed for Pirate Borg but useful for any pirate-themed game, Heretical Hedgehog has Caught: A Compendium of Punishments Pyratical with a list of random tables for punishments for any pirate captured whether it’s by other pirates, government authorities, or the Inquisition.

And another adventure inspired by classic literature, Robin Gallego has The Hauntings of Sleepy Hollow, a 4th level adventure of roleplay and investigation with a small dungeon crawl that places the party at the center of mysterious disappearances.
Characters in D&D seem to fall a lot, don’t they? If you’d like rules a bit more detailed than just damage rolls, Duckslayer Games has In Depth Falling with rules and new feats to allow for more distinction between being shoved off a cliff and jumping off intentionally and rolling with the fall to parkour away the damage.
Zakariah released a new tavern Feywild Froth House covering the titular tavern nestled in the ever-shifting landscape of the Feywild ready to place in your Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign or anywhere else where time plays tricks and reality is but a canvas for the imagination.
If you’ve ever struggled to come up with unique items in the “treasure” hoard of goblins, Sewage Orc is here to help with Goblin Loot, a one-page loot table with 40 unique items treasured by goblins (and might just be useful to others too).
A new Ice Age spreads across Faerun as the Frost King leads an army of hundreds of zombies in this rare Tier 4 adventure Neverspring Frost from William Rotor inspired by an attempt to give a better ending to the final season of Game of Thrones for level 17-20 characters and a whopping 240-pages long.
Once again we’ve got three lightning rounds this week starting with a collection of 5e monsters and short drop-in encounters. As always, each of these is available either free or pay what you want with the suggested price in parentheses.
And for round two, we’ve got new character options for 5e including new and revamped classes, subclasses, races/species, and class abilities.
And our final lightning round, we’ve got map collections (some of which are royalty-free for use in your products, check the description for license information).
