If right now you had to run a short game online for people who had only ever played D&D (3/4/5), which RPG would you choose?

A fine choice.
Probably D&D (3/4/5)

A smart choice.

Like, RIGHT now? With zero prep? I'd run Dungeon World. It's made for that kind of thing, so I don't have to worry about setting up stat blocks or shit, and we can just make characters and get going in like 10 minutes.
(This is assuming everyone wants to play some kind of dungeon fantasy because Muh Wizards. If they're open to anything, I might go with Everyone Is John, Lasers and Feelings, or some other micro system to cut even further down on character generation time.)

Call of Cthulhu.
It's easy, fun, and requires minimal set-up.

I want to play with you guys, that's some good taste.

My GURPS witchcraft and blood adventure. I've got premade characters, lots of notes and everything primed and ready to fire. They'd be pretty much down to rolling 3d6 when I tell them to, but I think most people could figure out as we went.

I came here to say Dungeon World. Not just because practically speaking it's really good for one-shots, but because it hits the same familiar tropes that people who know and like D&D would be used to.
I've heard it described as, "How you imagined D&D worked before actually playing it."

paranoia, it's fucking great

I remember someone bringing up that they wanted to play maid RPG. I guess he made it sound interesting in concept, I made it clear I wasn't interested. The rest of the group didn't, and led him on like asshats. They went as far as making characters before they made it clear they didn't actually want to play.
For some reason I'm still in contact with these people.

I've gotta second Dungeon World. As much as I like DnD, who am I kidding, DnD isn't role playing. I've watched the maker of dungeon world speak about rpgs and role playing, Dungeon World will probably push actual role playing and decisions somewhat.
I get sick of optimization games, I'd like to have decisions that matter.
