As someone who does not play 5e because I don’t like the game a new edition definitely cause me to check it out. If it was D&D I liked I would adopt.

PF1 Shattered Star book 1 “The cleric earns his keep”

GURPS 4e anything gritty or simulationist I’d want to run. I think I could strip back for OSR style characters too. SWADE for anything high action, cinematic, or pulpy. Pathfinder 1e for when I want my level based d20 gaming fix. Honorable mention to WHFRP 4e. If I could get a 4th this...

Monetizing my hobbies drains all the joy. I’ve been asked to make a few furniture pieces but doing the commissions was never fun. I’ve thought about setting up a paid game to run online. Mostly to run things my regular group isn’t to but I just keep feeling like I have a job. I don’t need...

Warhammer Fantasy rpg has great Foundry implementations, a ton of ready to run resources, is crunchy, and just different enough that I often use it as a pallet cleanser between more serious fantasy games.

I would use GURPS. It handle techno/gun-porn well. Character advancement would also map well to mission style play. It can be played as intense resource management or more cinematic. Depending on has tactical you want to get something Tactical Shooting might be in order. If you need...

Shattered Star session 8 Cleric sets barbarian on fire.

PF1: Shattered Star So. Many. Dead. Mites.

Siccatite Doors: Silent They See

There’s a ln advantage in one of the DF supplements for archers that reduces reloading time a lot. Wizards, using the core system also spend multiple rounds in many instance to accomplish anything.
