D&D 5e alternatives?

I've only ever played 5e for my ttrpgs, but with WOTC showing its true colors, I'm trying to find a new system to adopt. I've been seeing people say Pathfinder 2e, and while i have a digital copy of the book I've been reading, i didn't realize how large it was until i saw it in a game store; the core rulebook is almost 3 times as long as the 5e PHB!

I guess what I'm looking for is a system that isn't as heavy as Pathfinder 2e but still has depth to it. Do you all have any suggestions?

  • If you liked 5e but not a fan of what WotC is doing, I would suggest looking into Level Up: Advanced 5e. They've improved on a lot of things about 5e (e.g. monster stat blocks and challenge ratings) and you can still use your adventures and supplements (with maybe some tweaks).

    In general, with as many different rulesets that exist, I would say that offering a bit more of what you want in a TTRPG experience would go a long way in helping people offer suggestions. Example keywords: sci-fi, fantasy, modern, cinematic, tactical, mystery, supernatural, etc.
