You.

Yes you, the one thinking about running a tabletop game but you're tired of running DND and/or you're fed up with Hasbro's bullshit.

You should run Lancer.

1. MECHS. It's a hard sci-fi far future setting with space magic powered MECHS.

2. Combat is crunchy but there's also a specific rules-light system for narrative roleplay.

3. ONLY THE DM HAS TO BUY ANYTHING. All the player side materials are 100% FREE.

4. Massif press publishes their own incredible character building site called CompCon. You can even import homebrew!

5. Explicitly inclusive setting. Published adventures have gay and trans characters, PoC characters, etc.

6. Incredible community.
