I am feeling the need for a lengthy break from running 5E and am trying to figure out what might be a good fit. I kind of want to try something new that I don't play or write for regularly (so no Savage Worlds) and I think I want less focus on violence as a core component of the fiction.
Due to how generally busy I am, I want something that is low to no prep. It should be episodic rather than a singular serial "story" and accommodate, say, 4 players. I'd prefer the rules to be a little more narrative but not necessarily a "story game." While I am okay with some system complexity I am not interested in either big fat rulebooks or extensive menus of PC abilities.
Genre wise I am not sure but I like supers, cyberpunk, space opera, weird fantasy, post apocalyptic, some horror elements and genre mash-ups. I don't like cutesy anything, though, and no children PCs.
Game wise I am okay with loo(ing at suggestions in the OSR, PbtA, FitD, Fate or other spaces. I don't mind a bespoke system either.
I will be playing weekly 2 hour sessions over the internet (probably just over Discord since I'm a little burnt on Fantasy Grounds).
So, all that considered, what game should I give a look to?
Thanks!
