Trouble Expanding!
Full Script

Notes
Trouble Expanding! is a Trouble Brewing expansion (as one might expect) with a few extras, mostly pulled from general TB+1 suggestions.
The ghastly Banshee joins the cast of townsfolk, adding another dangerous character for the demon to target (alongside Ravenkeeper, Soldier, Mayor, and Saint).
The odious Ogre replaces the Butler (sorry Butler, I love ya, but I adore the Ogre), and is joined on the Outsider front by the loony Lunatic, to add some more paranoia to the game.
The manipulated Marionette joins the minions, as per Strings Pulling by Ben Burns, probably the best-regarded TB+1 script out there.
And finally, the Imp is joined by two new demons, the ferocious Fang Gu and the loathsome Legion. Both new demons match the TB mindset of having to not focus on only finding one demon, with the Fang Gu jumping similarly to the Imp's star-pass ability, and Legion of couse existing across multiple players concurrently.
Update 1.1.0: Removed Legion, as A) it didn't fit very well with the script, and B) my group dislikes it.
Update 1.2.0: Replaced the Slayer with the (more interesting but similar) Alsaahir, to further the idea of expanding on, but not massively changing, Trouble Brewing.
Update 1.2.1: Updated to the current version of Steven Approved Order.
Storyteller notes: Be wary of the Ogre and the Fang Gu together, especially on lower player counts, as both have the potential to add evil players. It's not gamebreaking, as, if the Fang Gu adds an evil player, one evil player is already, by definition, a dead Fang Gu, but it's still a combination to be wary of.
