Looking to expand my horizon.

Hello Roll20, I come by this mean to ask for some help into expanding my horizons, and what do I mean by that you ask? Well I want to learn new system, of course, I have been playing D&D 3.5 for about 5-6 years now and I'm looking for learn a couple more systems. I have also played Anima beyond fantasy, a bit of pathfinder, Dark Heresy (I know the rules somehow, the world is still hazy and mysterious for me). So you see at this point why I am asking, Roll20 seems to be harbor every kind of system out there and me actually knowing 1 or 2 systems to play it, kind of lowers my options, so I'm looking for people or groups that won't mind taking a newbie and teach him how to play. Also really quick learned of most basic rules, so there shouldn't actually be much problem understanding them.
Dungeonworld heavily emphasizes co-op story telling and narrative between GM and players. It's a very different feel to 3.5 There's currently a One-shot recruiting for this Wed. specifically for newcomers. One Shot! Dungeon World ~ Wednesday, April 23rd 5-8pm Pacific Time (GMT -7) Newbies Welcome! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/794493/one-shot-" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/794493/one-shot-</a>... The rules are very simple and can be found here: <a href="http://www.dungeonworldsrd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dungeonworldsrd.com/</a> It can be very challenging to pick up, but ShadowRun is another wonderful setting that offers a change of pace that mechanically focus' just as heavily out of combat as within. (I wouldn't recommend starting with a magic user though) I've not played, but heard good things about Star Wars: Edge of the Empire
I have looked at the dungeonworld One-shot and sadly that doesn't go well with my schedule, being in College and GMT zoned. I will look into ShadowRun and maybe the Star Wars.
Edge of the Empire is fun, but sadly runs entirely on custom dice. I know you said wednesday didn't mesh with you schedual, but if you're free on Tuesdays at 7Pm East Coast I run one shots of Savage Worlds. Its also a co-op story telling game designed for fast play with typical sessions only needing about 2 hours.
