And if one aren't in the mood to learn something completely new, theres always Pathfinder.
Yeah Pathfinder 2e is good. It's more crunchy than 5e, but that also means there are rules for most situations that come up. I like the 3 action system, much better than the old, "main action, swift action, move action, move- equivalent action" thing the old version had going on.
I have a group of friends, half in same town as me, half on the other side of the country, that get together once a week ion discord and play dnd via a self hosted foundry virtual tabletop docker. We used to play 5e but we decided to try out pathfinder 2e to see if we liked it and we haven't gone back, pathfinder is fantastic. The flexibility with the actions makes it feel like you always get a chance to do something and you aren't just wasting your turn when you are getting into position or whatever. Feels close enough to 5e that most of your intuition will be pretty close, just use a different website to look shit up. Highly recommend pathfinder!
