Q. RPG with well supported one-shots?

A. City of Mist.

I've run one or two games of City of Mist at Revelation and Furnace each year for the last few years. I've never written a scenario. Each scenario has been taken from the campaigns and adventures that have been released to support the game, ranging from the starter set, through to Nights of Payne Town (the epic campaign) and Local Legends (the about to be released supplement) and also some of the fan-created scenarios. 

The game is built around a supernatural-noir detective case format, which means that the adventures are pretty self-contained, even if they are in an arc. You don't usually need to know what has happened before to make them work. I've not had one go bad as yet from a GM's perspective, and I have had repeat customers at cons so it must land well with the players. 

Hence my choice is City of Mist.
