Bored of D&D. What system should I try instead, and why?

Bored of D&D. What system should I try instead, and why?
>>
Not enough search terms, please specify your query.

>>46775951
I want something like vanilla D&D that's not D&D
>>
Hackmaster. Middl earth role playing. Rifts, but only if everyone plays at vastly different power levels
>>
FantasyCraft because it's pretty good. Lots of creativity and customization involved, without the bulkiness or limitations of D&D.

And you could be a crab.

:^)
>>
>>46776046
So you just want more of the same?
>>
Anything with dicepools. You'll love it.

Or just >>46776310
>>
>>46776046

Would you like something in a more generalized fantasy setting, move to scifi, or are more interested in a mechanical shift than a flavor and thematic one?
>>
>>46776345
>>46776330
I'm after a change in mechanics. The setting is fine as is.

>>46776310
Can I be a lizard?

>>46776243
Thanks, will check them out.
>>
>>46776335
Meant to reply to you too. Thanks, will read up on dicepools
>>
Shadow of the Demon Lord's pretty cool with a good GM, but then again, what isn't?
>>
>>46776380
You can be anything you imagine. There is actually a lizard/dinosaur race that is very flexible.

F.A.T.A.L. because everyone should experience it once.

Those dice have lovely aesthetics, were to cop

>Hackmaster

I heard that was cool so I bought it last year. I'm still generating my character.
>>
>>46775935
Burning Wheel, Savage World, Dungeon World...

>>46776535
>Dungeon World

DUNGEON WORLD?! DUNGEON WORLD!?!

Hero System. Try it out and experience the joys of rolling 21d6 to find out how much damage that grunt took to the shoulder.
>>
Hold on, someone asked for an RPG suggestion and no one has mentioned the Hero System?

HERESY

OP, I'm in the same boat, and I decided on Torchbearer... I haven't got to play it yet but the book is seriously awesome.
>>
>>46776046
Torchbearer (Luke Crane - DnD, but in good)
Reign (ORE - artsy setting, best mechanics)
Runequest (BRP - generic, simple, fast)
Lamentations of the Flame Princess (OSR - dark!)

Rules-light, swords and sorcery, Conan-style adventure? Barbarians of Lemuria. (Stupid name; good game.)
>>
Runequest, GURPS, Ars Magica, Chivalry & Sorcery

>>46776535
Anon, you spelled "Apocalypse World" wrong
>>
>>46776046
So Pathfinder?

>>46777210
He said "not D&D", not "literally D&D with a different name on the cover".
>>
>>46776046
Fantasy craft
>>
>>46776046
B/X, BECMI, or 1e
>>
I haven't personally played it before, but Earthdawn seems to have the kind of vibe you're looking for.
>>
>>46776380

So GURPS fantasy then? That would definitely count as a change in mechanics.

Lol

FATAL obviously.
