“Crunchy” just means “lots of rules” and Pathfinder is pretty much a crunchy trad game. Crunchy games can be insanely complex (like Powers & Perils) by having completely different systems for each and every thing (old school AD&D was this way too, as was Chivalry & Sorcery in its first and second editions) or they can have unified game systems where one or two simple core mechanisms are used in different ways for the rules (C&S from the third edition onward qualifies, as does D&D form the third edition onward, and its offshoots like Pathfinder).
I do occasionally find people to play with (including SO, obviously) but yes, my RPG playing is at an all-time low since I first encountered them in '78. I don’t play online because I despise computers enough that I really don’t want them in my hobbies.
You can get the rules to SparkandFATE (in several editions: Core, Accelerated Edition, and Condensed) for free if you want to see what the flavours are like.

Nothing local, no. Just a few people I can get together with sporadically.
