So my group and I have 10am to 6pm to game one day this weekend but we want to take a break from C&C... darn it there's nothing to run.
I would run traveller but no one has it in stock ... what else? what else?

Yep, I'll agree with my buds here - Star Frontiers, MF or Metamorphosis Alpha (1E or 4E).
Or . . .
OD&D using Zenopus Tower from Holmes or Quasqueton from B1.
S3 or Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure - using AD&D 1E.
WHFRP (1E or 2E) ~ The Enemy Within.
Enjoy!

Your group could try out the Quickstart for Green Ronin's, A Song of Ice and Fire? They released the pdf free after Free RPG Day. I've read over it, and it looks very promising.

Hudson! Awesome idea. It looks really good, I think I'll run that and let you know how it goes!

I dont know if you're into it or not, but you can access all the old Marvel Super Heroes roleplaying stuff here. Fast, easy and action packed! The 4 Color System is a "generic" version of the old MSH system.
I think it would be good for a one-shot night with its easy and quick character creation and fairly intuitive rules. Just my two cents.

I remember Marvel Super Heroes! Loved their ratings classification system...
"How's your Strength, darling?"
"Marvelous, darling, Marvelous!"
It was a lot of fun, though. Always preferred the HERO system for supers over MSH, but that's a lot of math involved for character creation in a "one-off" game day.

Yeah! I love the MSH site.
We decided to run one of my Play By Post in real life since everyone loves it.
It's a game that meshes cyberpunk and shadowrun. Using the SIEGE engine.
