To give you another rec, which is often named as an intro to PbtA systems for dnd players: Dungeon World. It still borrows quite a few things from DnD (which are imo the worst parts of DW).

And as the other user wrote, reading other system can even be helpful just to steal stuff for your DnD group. PbtA (or one based on it) is one that imo every GM should've played, because it teaches so many important principles that are relevant in any systems you play - but in PbtA they are far more explicit (and well explained in the rulebooks).

    Ascendance of a Bookworm was already mentioned. Fpr all the reasons ppl in other comments stated, it's a very cozy and interesting watch.

    I'll add Log Horizon to this list.

    1. it has "gameplay" that actually makes sense
    2. much better world building And something i rarely see in isekais: the players realize a need for society and there's politics and stuff going on, how to build a town council, how to treat NPCs etc.

    As a Swiss - no, this is sadly still not really contested by any parties besides greens and socialists. Maybe some singular politicians from center and center-right, but our government made it very clear that they still intend to buy the jets.

    You probably missed the "digitally processing" part. Reading it isn't that difficult (still much more than french or english) but due to spelling variance and some other challenges it is mich more difficult to adapt existing models and architectures designed for modern German to premodern German.

    In my case, working with administrative documents, there is also a problem concerning gerne-specific words (old terms for legal xoncepts basically) which for example are not well understood by systems created for modern German.

    My work focuses on digitally processing texts from between 15th and 17th century in German. It's a pain and i look with envy to my colleagues working in English and French (around the same time). On the other hand, i like the challenge. :-)

    I'm a researcher and i would gladly send anyone a paper who asks, without a reason needed. Although all my papers are open access anyways so shrugs. Btw it's also not unusual that people may just ask some questions related to ones paper via email and im always happy to answer those. I believe that most researchers are always glad to share their expertise and findings (as long as it isn't a huge effort ofc).
