Interested in checking out non-D&D fantasy "old school" ttrpgs

Clockwork and Chivalry sounds the most appealing of the spinoffs if going by name. Do you have any experience with that one?

Not really. There are some decent reviews for the 2nd edition though. I got it because the setting was fairly intriguing, English Civil War with Cromwell, Puritans, blackpowder era, with fantasy elements including alchemy, witchcraft, and clockworks. A bit Warhammer feel but with no nonhumans or big overarching Chaos. Clockwork & Cthulhu adds full on Mythos into the same alt 17th century setting. Also has a big chunky campaign adventure.

Re C&S

I'm not a fan of small font either, so that version will be a pass for me.

I have 1st, 4th, and either 2nd or 3rd ( don't know) — all 3 have small fonts and tables aplenty. I don't know about 5th...

Re T&T & buckets of dice...
It's not bad at low levels, but as the adds get silly.... so do the dice for monsters.
