Having run Root by Magpie Games a few times, I’ve really enjoyed how cinematic it feels. DND combat can be very fun and tactical, but it can also drag as players have to use turns to prepare attacks and then go sit in the back of the line for 10 minutes. PBTA on the other hand always felt quick and quirky with the different playbook abilities. But it’s of course not going to be as deep as a crunchy game, and therefore I dont think it suits OPs needs
