I’m being a little lazy - I made this about 18 months ago after a conversation in one shop. A couple of days ago in a different shop the “alternative” mentioned was Dungeon Crawl Classics. As far as I’m concerned, D&D with the serial numbers filed off is still D&D.

How do I upvote more than once?
I’m running a game for a steampunk airship crew in GURPS over Foundry.
Local game shop seems to be about half D&D and related, but I do see a fair number of others represented.
Pathfinder, D&D 5e, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire: the Masquerade.
The V:tM group is about to implode due to out-of-game drama, and the Call of Cthulhu group went on hiatus a few months ago. The 5e group is a therapy group but has a couple powergamers making everyone miserable. The Pathfinder group is the only sane one, and they’ve been doing the same campaign for going on three years now.
Mörk Borg? Other Fria Liga? Other Borg-likes? Other Kickstarter games? Is that just me?
Don’t get me wrong, I love PF2 and I mostly actually play 5E with my friends on zoom (that bunch of Philistines), but I can’t be the only one obsessively finding niche games online like Into the Odd and Forbidden Lands and Frontier Scum and Inevitable and porting them into system-agnostic hex-flowers that could support Dark-Tower-esque realm crawling and West March-ish living worlds that I can never find anyone that wants to play and…
Do I have a problem? Am I out of touch? No, it’s the D&D players that are wrong
I am in the final countdown of our Brindlewood Bay game that I’ve been GM for a little over a year. Next up is a Dark Age Mage game for that group.
The other night we are playing a version of Battle Bots with house rules after a couple of years of Shadowrun, originally on 1st Ed modified, later of homebrew simplifications.
We’ve also played Ultraviolet Grasslands, The Between, Blades in the Dark, and Dungeon World in the last couple of years, along with several house experiments.

I finished up a Mutants and Masterminds campaign last month, now I run two DnD games weekly, one for my particular party and one open to all comers.
Thank you! You’re doing Lliira’s work!
Well, the rule at the shop is you need to DM a game open to everyone to get to reserve a spot for your own stuff.
I miss playing Traveller so much, it’s ruined me.
I’m prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.
Just finished a long campaign using a system loosely based on 5e based on Animorphs that my friend made. Has entirely new classes, races, feats, and abilities.
No Daggerheart?
I’ve been enjoying Numenera for years
I’m wondering if I could adapt storypath ultra to WoD. The turn thing probably won’t be in it but all the other things look mighty fine.
