There's Quest RPG. It's a simple system that's meant to be an introduction for RPGs in general. They do the degrees of success thing with a d20. I looked into it as a lighter, more story focused alternative to 5e and used the dice roll mechanic to run an improvised game for my kid niece and nephew that went pretty well.

There's also a mech game called Salvage Union that uses the same system. Don't know if there are any others.

I'm going to pause my 5e game for the month of July and try something else. I'm thinking about a PbtA game. I ran a few sessions of Masks years ago and it went okay. I'd never played anything that wasn't a d20 system and I remember feeling Masks was bending my brain a bit.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a quality actual play I could watch to try to get a handle on the system? Is there anyone out there that talks about PbtA the way a thousand people on YouTube do about D&D?

I was considering Avatar or Glitterhearts if it makes a difference, but I think that anything PbtA would help me.
