Ironsworn is one of the lightest systems I enjoy, it's on the crunchy end of PbtA. Lots of moves so you don't have to rely on Defy Danger that much when doing some perilous adventuring. Novel way of handling "clocks" with their own set of moves. And fully support Co-op and solo play which also ads some moves.
Blades in the Dark is lighter but I don't quite make the setting work for me, its awesomeness have yet to click for me. Its mechanics though - chef's kiss.
I played starforged, I think that's the same in space. Been meaning to read and run it ever since but you know how it is....
Especially the solo play the intrigues me.
I steal from the roll tables for that for the games though hehe.
Base ironsworn is free BTW as far as I know, for anyone reading
