The Witcher is a series of novels written by Polish author Andrezj Sapkowski, but is better known for the series of games produced by CD Projekt Red. They focus on the life and times of Geralt of Rivia, one of the titular witchers (alchemically augmented superhumans tasked to be monster hunters) in a rather dark fantasy setting where fantastical monsters are becoming resurgent and humans are little better than the monsters.

The Novels

While there are six novels, they were not released in order of continuity. The first and fourth novels (The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny) are just a bunch of short stories using the same cast and settings while the rest of them are all focused on a particular central plot.

The Games

CD Projekt Red is responsible for releasing the three main Witcher games (with DLC) alongside Gwent, a digital card game and competitor to Blizzard's Hearthstone, and Thronebreaker.

The RPG

There is actually an RPG that lets you play around in this setting made by R. Tasalorian Games. It generally lets you use the basic engine of d10+Stat for getting things done. You get a small list of classes and only three races (Human, Dwarf, Elf) with the actual Witchers being a race-as-class affair.
