I'm supposed to be running helping run some games for GameCity this month. What are some good, easy to understand one shot RPGs? (I'm assuming an audience with little to no experience)

I'd go with the usual suspects: Fiasco, Dungeon World, maybe something Fate-y.

E: That festival actually looks pretty boss. If only a) I lived in Nottingham and b) had any free time.

Ok, Would your assessment change if I told you that I and my fellow players regularly play big, meaty boardgames like Mage Knight, the 'Gric, and Twilight Struggle? Systems mastery is not usually an issue for us.

I agree with Gorbash on BW pretty much word for word, right down to 'give Torchbearer a go if Burning Wheel seems interesting'. I'm less charitable about it than he is, though; I think the concepts are amazing but system mastery isn't going to help you because the system itself is irredeemably busted in pretty much every way.

I'll always have kind of a soft spot for DL because Pinnacle didn't let a single IP exploitation opportunity pass them by. GURPS version? Call of Cthulhu crossover? Miniatures game? CCG? Disk Wars adaptation?!? I think they even had a line of Button Men playsets. Plus comics, fiction collections, branded poker card decks and everything else. I'm going to assume the lack of computer game or animated series or TV or move adaptation wasn't because of a lack of trying.
