And I can't rank them as I'm still checking them out myself. Haha
I second Pathfinder, it’s great (although I’m having trouble convincing some of my group to convert…). I enjoy reading about the setting of Starfinder, but I don’t really know anything about the rules, it’s based off the original Pathfinder rather then the one that I am learning (Pathfinder 2e).

This isn't actually a signature, just something I copy and paste onto the bottom of all my posts. Or is it? Yep, it is. Or is it..? I’m a hobbit, and the master cranial imploder of the "Oops, I Accidently Destroyed Someone's Brain" cult. Extended sig. I'm actually in Limbo, it says I'm in Mechanus because that's where I get my WiFi from. Please don't tell the modrons, they're still angry from the 'Spawning Stone' fiasco. No connection to Dragonslayer8 other than knowing them in real life.
So this is a little niche game that I absolutely adore. It's called "Blue Rose" and its from Green Ronin. It's a bit more... flowery than D&D, I would say, since it's based in romantic fantasy rather than standard high fantasy. It's original edition was a True20 system, but the 2e (the one that I have and adore) is AGE. It's a bit of a learning curve, but I don't think it's any harder to pick up than D&D. Though, for anyone interested in the world and the lore, but wanting to keep to the 5e system, Green Ronin did release a 5e compatible rule set.
Another game that I have, but haven't yet played, is Mouse Guard. I also believe this is in its 2e, but I haven't looked too closely at it. When I have a bit more free time, however... Basically, it's a game where you play as a mouse ranger. It's based off the Mouse Guard comics and plays using a simplified Burning Wheel system.
I am happy to talk about either game, but between the two, I have more experience with Blue Rose.
Omg I love Blue Rose!!!
:o !!! Looks like I know who to reach out to when I get the chance to run a game! :)
I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot either, if you’re still looking.
As for my vote, while it’s admittedly D&D derived, a system called The Nightmares Underneath has recently caught my attention. In the Kingdoms of Dreams, a seemingly utopian civilization with a swept-under-the-rug dark side, entities from beyond encroach into the world. These nightmares feed on the often unacknowledged regrets, traumas, and sins of the people in the KoD in order take tangible form and create incursions through which to enter reality. Nightmare incursions are like dungeons, but can appear anywhere there is great suffering.

In so many words it’s like D&D meets Silent Hill.
This thread is blasphemous (I am obviously joking)
