It's always useful to have a generic system in your back pocket, especially one that you can memorize in its entirety *and* that has some interesting mechanics.
Enter minimal d6: https://analogkonsole.wordpress.com/minimald6/
Character creation: roll 1d6 for each core attribute that makes sense for your setting. Pick a class that gives you 2 skills, or choose 2 skills from a list.
Core mechanic: Roll 2d6 as a dice pool; 5 or 6 are successes. If you have an appropriate skill, roll 3d6; if at disadvantage, roll 1d6.
@BrentNewhall This has saved me when doing things like camping or when the power goes out for a while. Easy to run tabletop lends itself well towards both impromptu gameplay and getting people new to the hobby playing quickly.
