"Old School Renaissance" in this case, the revival of zine-style RPGs influenced directly by Basic+Expert DnD from the late 70s and early 80s. The term has been diluted somewhat from the original blog scene of the 2010s (ish), with some games being near-perfect clones of BX DnD like Old School Essentials to extremely rules-thin games that are almost better enjoyed as art projects (Mork Borg, Ultraviolet Grasslands) and everything between.

Most groups are open to a one shot in a different system, so if you're up for it, suggest running one for Dungeon Crawl Classics or something. Or just use part of another system, like doing character creation in Traveler style but modified for a newer system.
