Do Worlds Without Number instead of DnD. Trust me.
I also started with DnD and slowly realized it’s not a very good ttrpg.
You’ll see when your players start sighing deeply everytime combat starts because everyone knows that this will take the whole evening.
WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
I’ll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D
DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it’s so famous, most people don’t think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.
There is also different styles to consider.
The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
Etc etc.
Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!

Hm, gonna look into it. Combat has been fun with my PCs honestly. I’ll ask for feedback once the campaign is over.
