Understandable, but as a gaming venue I think they're tapped out. Granny and Nanny are too well defined to turn into PCs for a longer game and too capable to not overload any other witch based plot. Even the next witch generation has been too clearly established inn the Tiffany Aching for me too feel comfortable messing around in it.
That's problem one - problem two is that inside of the ramtops the Witch based plots are a little predictable. Carpe Jungulem is little more than a rewrite of Lords and Ladies, and after that Pratchett found a better venue for the themes of growing into your responsibilities, seeing the world clearly and maintaining your sense of self against outside forces by focusing on the younger witches. Maskerade is a better book, but that's because it takes the witches outside of Lancre.
As you can see, I have thought about using the Witches, but I just don't have an inspiration for a plot.
