[LFG]Looking for new games that are NOT dnd. Love the game just want to expand my knowledge

I'm talking any sort of RPG although I lean heavy on the role play. I'm on EST and can play anytime past 4pm except on tuesdays. Please let me know!!
How do you feel about OSR retroclones? I'm a big fan of roleplay-heavy games, check out mine if you're interested:<a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/77289/hungry-shadows-in-the-yellow-city" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/77289/hungry-shadows-in-the-yellow-city</a>
I suggest looking into Powered By The Apocalypse games! There's lots of different games in different settings! If you want a Mad Max, dirt-road Apocalypse game, join a game of Apocalypse World and play a Driver! If you want to level city blocks with your superpowers, get into a game of Masks: A New Generation and play a Nova! If you want to tell someone you'd rather not have sex with them and then drink their blood, play a Vampire in Monsterhearts! If you want to be stressed out and make your own PbtA game, try Powered By The Apocalypse World! This one is free too! If you want to beat zombies with a rolling pin or take their heads off with jump ropes, play Dead Scare, the zombie game set in the 1950's! If you want to cast some spells or swing some swords, try Dungeon World! If you want to hack into the security systems of a megacorporation setting up in a megametropolis, play a Hacker in The Sprawl! There are many more that are waiting for you to thumb through them and find your favorite playbook, pick some moves, and fuck some shit up for experience. As for leaning heavily on the roleplaying, in most Powered by the Apocalypse games you'll only be rolling when something in the fiction triggers a move. The moves in the games are directly related to what you're doing in the roleplay 'conversation', and give you some deciding factors for your outcome without directly pointing you in one direction.
I second Powered by the Apocalypse games as a recommendation. If you are a big fan of the D&D theme, but want something that feels a bit different (more narrative, more character-focused, less quest-y, less fight-y), try Dungeon World.
