If you are looking for a fun game to break out for one shots for new players, angsty teens, or just veterans looking for something different, you could hardly do better than have a copy of Goblonia on hand. It's silly, rules light, spreads out the spotlight to all participants, and is just about the perfect weight for a 3 to 5 hour session. I consider it one of the best rules light games I've ever seen, and unlike a lot of rules light story focused games it doesn't require everyone to be serious thespians to get enjoyment out of and add to the enjoyment of the game.
In fact, I would suggest that the money you spend for the Quick & Dirty edition might be the best value for your dollar you can spend at Drive Through RPG. The Quick & Dirty edition contains all the rules you need for running one shots, and there is really no reason why any GM shouldn't be willing to throw $5 in the direction of the content creator in order to get a copy. Seriously, almost anything else you spent $5 on would give you less enjoyment, and if you want to be cheap you can pick this up for $2.
I'll give a fuller review of the full rules, but if the thought of an evening playing bumbling goblin terrorists slash freedom fighters, engaged in futile acts of defiance in setting which is as ridiculous as it is grim and can be tuned to taste sounds like a good time, then pick up Gobonia Quick & Dirty. I don't think you'll regret it.
