If I want something with more character customization options or on the apocalyptic dark fantasy side, then Shadow of the Demon Lord/Weird Wizard are ideal alternatives.Powered by the Apocalypse games are ideal for more freeform games where players have increased agency in steering the narrative, and the 2d6 + modifiers as a nigh-universal resolution mechanic is very easy to remember.World of Darkness game lines not only take place in the modern world, they also have much stronger social intrigue aspects in its settings and adventures. Unlike D&D there's more of a social expectation that PCs will be antiheroes or deeply flawed at best. A lot of D&D adventures and campaigns have more typical heroic expectations by contrast.</blockquote>
