Or just play one of those systems. GURPS is great.

I have a hard enough time finding people and a schedule for mainstream games. Where the hell am I going to find people who want to GURP with me?

Online I guess if you're into VTT. You could maybe poke around at a game shop, I've even seen bulletin boards in some where you can post flyers, some people use that to find a group.

Yeah, I mostly play Fate or nWoD. But a lot of people are really emotionally invested in D&D, so sometimes I think of ways to try to trick them into playing something different while they think they're still playing D&D.

I suppose I'm lucky enough to have enough friends into ttrpgs to build a group of players open to the system I like. I lost some who were emotionally invested in D&D, but frankly they were the least fun ones to play with (min-max munchkins and rules lawyers undercut by an unfamiliar system), so I'm not too upset about it. Plus I've been empowered with many more options for creative play, and blessed with players interested in creative play.
