Looking for something new!

I am pretty used to Pathfinder and D&D ... and I'm looking for something new like Paranoia, if possible.
Dungeon World?
What is that?
Hey Krusader, Dungeon World is a an RPG that has an old school feel, but uses a a more story driven rule set. The rules are fairly simple and are based upon the Apocolypse World game engine. The idea is to play to find out what happens. Both the GM and the players have latitude to create part of the story. If this sound interesting you can check out more about it on Wikipedia and there is a SRD online.
Any interest in Black Crusade?

In general if people throw up a name of a system it is pretty easy, imo, to look up the game by the name. Start on DriveThruRPG for the name of the system and then perhaps a few google searches on what it is and what it does. Dungeon World, for example, is the "D&D" of the Powered by the Apocalypse Engine system. IIRC one of the more "complicated" ones of PbtA. I say complicated with quotation marks because if you learn one system the rules are so light that you can probably master any of the other games in the engine like a snap. Dungeon World being "complicated" could also just be my personal view and only because so many open source classes have been made for it compared to original Apocalypse World.  Exalted is high fantasy d10 system, and that's just scratching the surface. Go look for different games like All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Warhammer, Paranoia, FATE/FAE, Savage Worlds, Seventh Sea, and the like. There are so many different rpgs that just saying you don't want a D&D system is a very basic start. Narrowing it down to what you want will be easier for potential DMs/STs/MCs/Whatever the system calls the game runner.

Greetings. If you're interested in learning a new RPG system, we've got a group starting soon on Friday evenings 8pm CST for the game of HackMaster. HackMaster is a very unique and fun system based heavily on classic D&D systems, though it's evolved into its own fully standalone game. The power level is a little lower (you won't be slaying dragons right out of character creation!) but that is because the first part of the game is the actual journey to becoming a hero . So there are hardships, but difficulty builds character and allows the truly great to shine. So our campaign is recruiting players of all skill levels, and we have veterans who are patient and willing to help new players learn the system. The game itself follows the heroes of the story journeying towards the famed Frandor's Keep with rumors of riches and opportunity to be found there. If you'd like to take part, please give our listing a look and apply for the game! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/78870/hackmaster-5th-edition-frandors-keep" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/78870/hackmaster-5th-edition-frandors-keep</a>
