The Wayfarer

The Wayfarer is a nine level episode replacement partial conversion for Heretic and ZDoom/GZDoom created by Not Jabba. Replacing the first episode of Heretic, The Wayfarer includes a new weapon, several new items, monsters and graphics, but is also intended as a rebalance mod for Heretic, greatly changing the way many of the vanilla actors function and providing a novel take on the game, one that would provide influential for future Heretic mods. The gameplay changes were later included as part of the standalone gameplay mod The Wayfarer's Tome, to be used on any vanilla Heretic levelset.

The Wayfarer was one of the recipients at the 2019 Cacowards.
