SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Recommended Universal system?

You might want to check out OneDice by Cakebread and Walton. Simple, but has the bits I think you maybe looking for. It has a generic book, plus a ton of genre books(Pulp, cyberpunk, fantasy, supers and etc). Check out the quick start on drivethru.

There's the WOIN stuff. Crunchy but not too crunchy. Mechanically solid rules.

Quote from: Deathbydoughnut;959407I'm looking for a game, I don't know what game, but I can say I'm burnt out on Fate, Cypher System, and Savage Worlds

Universal rpg
Classless
Cinematic/dramatic task resolution. Preferably no combat mini-games.
Easy dice resolution system. Preferably avoid rolling more than 2 dice, so dicepools are out.
Skill based system with organic growth like BRP (But not BRP)
Perk and Quirk type system like GURPS (But not GURPs)
Rules light to rules medium.
Can handle any genre, or nearly any genre, at least the common ones like fantasy, sci-fi, pulp action, etc.
Low GM prep and/or easy on the fly NPC generation.

Thanks for any help.

Any recommendations?

Your specs are ridiculously restrictive! I love Mini6 but it's bags-o-dice and not really "perk & quirk".

Hmmm... I don't think you've excluded Unisystem/Cinematic Unisystem, as seen in All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG et al. Maybe try that.  

Edit: Heavily ninja'd... guess I was right anyway.

Cakebread and Walton's OneDice fits your bill. As a bonus it is really easy to create new worlds and settings for it.
