This came up in another thread but I think it deserves one of its own:
One shots are awesome and don't get celebrated the way they should. So, what are some great One shots you have played in or run? What were the circumstances i.e. at a con, a fill in game, testing a new system, etc? And separately, any one shot advice for other folks out there more inclined to longer form games? Are there systems you think work better for one shots than others?
Hands down, the best one shot I ever ran was a Fallout game using All Flesh Must Be Eaten (criminally underrated as an all purpose toolkit). We were at HenCon and I bought a copy. My friends and I couldn't find anything we could all get into,so we sat down in the Open Gaming area and I created a Fallout adventure off the cuff. For anyone who hasn't played it, AFMBE has a zombie creation system si robust you can use it to make essentially anything.
