It's not exactly an RPG and it's not exactly Salem, but Witch Trial is a hilarious card game and free to download. crabfragmentlabs.com/witch-trial
Witch Trial — Crab Fragment Labs
A lighthearted courtroom game about religious persecution in Colonial America. Prosecute and defend suspected ne'er do-wells, fraternizers, and the odd vegetarian.

Cool. I may look into it if I don't get anywhere with pitching. My main challenge would be paying an artist, as I can't do the whole thing with inspired use of public domain images like you could!

I'd be very happy to send you a prototype if you'd be interested in playing it and giving me some feedback!

Yeah, it's been through a few tests including a couple of blind playtests. Still tweaking it a bit but it seems to work OK, had some good feedback and some fun games.
