LFP RP-focused & tactically-light alternative to 5e

I'm checking interest and searching for players who have played D&amp;D 5e and its spinoffs and have felt that something is missing from them - perhaps your immersion is being broken too often by OOC-talk and metagaming, or that PC histories and relationships aren't getting enough attention, or that combat is slow and lacking tension. About me: I've been running and playing RPGs for a very long time in dozens of systems. I practices accents and voices, I read books on screenwriting and characters, and am generally very into the hobby. I've tried D&amp;D 5e a few times and each time I've found it very combat-focused, very&nbsp; rules-dense, limiting, &nbsp;linear, and found the material doesn't care enough about who the PCs *really* are. Suffice it to say, D&amp;D hasn't delivered the thrill of adventure for me - to me it feels like a boardgame and what I prefer are the pacing and cinematics of a movie. You can check out more about the style of games that I run in my bio. If you think about characters in terms of their personality, arcs, conflicts, and relationships, or if y ou like your roleplaying to be inspired by the imagery of movies and books, then this might be for you. C onsider applying. However, if you are drawn to the tactical aspects of 5e,&nbsp; World of Warcraft, or Auto-chess Battler games, &nbsp;or&nbsp; If you think about characters in terms of race/class/level/gear/stats, then I wish you the best in finding something that better suits you.

This sounds much more in line with what I am looking for in a game. However, I enjoy the narrative just as much as the combat. I come from a small community of amateur writers and would be delighted to play a game with meaningful and descriptive character interactions. I am still a novice to D&amp;D, though I do have a few games under my belt. If you are still looking for players, I would like to give your game a try. UTC-5 time zone
I added a link to the game. Feel free to wander over and submit an application.
