What are some good one shot systems? One of my players is missing for the second session in a row, and I don't want to do anything important without him.

We already have played both of those, looking for something new
Maid RPG
freeformERP
Final Stand. It's a really great beer and pretzels martial arts RPG, take a look.
I haven't played it so I'm not sure, but have you considered Paranoia?
I think there's even premade character sheets in one of the rulebooks

I don't hate you.
Seconding MAID.
>>49596125
Dread.

>Maid RPG
I mean, I would, but a couple of my players are under 18
Any other thoughts?
>>49596991
Well, they can be cute genki maids.
Unless they are just under 18, in which case they are probably gonna be turbolewd maids.

Group is:
GM (me, 22)
19 yo, 21 yo, 16 yo, 17 yo
So yeah, probably turbolewd

Do it anyway. If nothing else you can get the alcohol to wash it all down and forget about it.

best

Fire up a session of Lasers & Feelings. OrTactical Waifus

D02?
My favorite are:
Dread
>Survival horror that uses a Jenga tower for resolution. Really easy to learn, and the tower is a great pacing mechanic.
10 Candles
>Tragic horror where everyone will die but you MUST keep the hope burning. Really good for atmospheric stuff.
Fiasco
>Think Coen Brothers films: a bunch of people have plans and they all fuck up in glorious fashion.
Kingdom
>A great high politics system. I run live action games with it. Great if you wanna do some Game of Thrones shit.

Thanks, dude.

Had a blast playing The Quiet Year last night. You use a play-generated map to tell the story of one year in a post-apocalyptic community, before the Frost Shepherds inevitably arrive.

Paranoia. It also helps get all those PVP impulses out.

>What are some good one shot systems
Any system your group is already used to with pre-built characters and a one-shot adventure.
Still gonna throw this out there though: GURPS Lite. No. Really. Just copy down a character template and have at it. 3d6 roll under, for EVERYTHING.

SHFT (Super Happy Fun Time)
No Leveling, Mostly based on D&D.
You roll up the 6 stats for D&D, but instead of Using from 1-20, you use from 1-6. Roll a d6 for each stat.
1-2= +1
3-4= +2
5-6= +3
Armor Class is the same.
You always start your characters in a "Beginning room," Be it a room you make, or literally the room you are running this in. They then have to make/find impromptu weapons/armor, then you run the Session.

Ryuutama or Tenra Bansho Zero
