The journey between Gate Pass and distant Lyceum is dangerous; along the way lies a forest, that has burned for decades, where a dream monster holds sway. Before escaping the raging flames, the heroes become caught in a three-way conflict with a fiend, the fierce spirit of the forest itself, and a clan of longsuffering fey who possess a powerful weapon for the coming war. Can the heroes traverse the treacherous fire forest of Innenotdar?
Rangers in D&D and Pathfinder have a varied history, and range from mysterious wilderness travellers to dual-wielding magical beings; many have a preference on that spectrum, and mine falls towards the "Aragorn" end of the scale. It seems that Paizo feels similarly, because the ranger in Pathfinder 2nd Edition is magic-free (although still quite dual-wieldy).

Delta Green was a tabletop roleplaying game by Arc Dream Publishing, which evolved from a Call of Cthulhu setting. It was set in modern times, and features a special task force which combats horrors the rest of us are better off not knowing about. The Fall of Delta Green is a GUMSHOE-powered game by Pelgrane Press, and is set in the 1960s at the time when the titular organisation was disbanded. Pelgrane has kindly sent along some previews!
