I would run at least half of these as ongoing campaigns. Check this thread...

Telling me it can't or shouldn't be gamed is like a free invitation to try it.

Hm.... "Today, I turned on my computer and checked my emails!"
You're right. Without the "!", it is so mundane. But with it, it sounds exciting. As if the checking was something no one would have expected, and which has led me to grand adventure, great wealth, and many love affairs. (Of course, it led me to some EN World notices, people asking weird questions, and some offers of questionable nature involving increasing the size of some body parts, or getting pills to improve the performance of the very same body parts, or things to use those body parts on, or making money fast - probably in order to fund all those pills and surgery and hired help for said body parts.)
Which brings me to the next weird RPG:
Email: The Spamming
Play someone checking his spam for email messages, trying to find messages with an actual meaning in a world of smut, easy money, scams, questionable substances, and violence!
Dungeons and Spaceships
The crew of some advanced/unique/chosen/superior (choose any 5) spaceship travels the universe, visits many different planets, and goes into those planets' dungeons to kill monsters and take their stuff!
Legend of the Five Ninja Burgers
In the Emerald Empire of Rokugan, two things are strictly forbidden by Imperial Degree: Ninjas and Eating Meat. So of course, the shadow warriors and defenders of the Nikudo (the way of the carnivore) known as ninjas see it as their duty to bring meat to people of Rokugan, without being seen by either their clients or, really, anyone else - for if they would be seen, they would face a dishonourable death, and, even worse, they would not be tipped!
Ravenfool
The Domain of Dread -ful jokes, that is - is ever hungry for those who commit heinous deeds against humour. The Mists swallow those they want and everyone who tells one bad pun too many will find that the Dark Powers both reward and punish them at once. The first to meet this dark fate was the Entertainer known as Clown von Circuvich. The Powers punished him with too large feet, too pale skin and the curse that all his clothes would swell to twice their size as soon as he puts them on - but in turn he got the power to shock everyone who shakes hands with him, to shoot water out of ordinary flowers, and, cruelest thing of all, elecit laughter from all who behold him no matter what he does!
