Right now, I'm running two different games in my Wandering Stars setting. It's a sort of Western/steampunk space fantasy thing-- FTL dirigibles with gunslingers and elves. They're both using slightly different variants of Fate Core, because I'm still designing the rules, and both are relatively new. I'm hoping they'll both last at least a few months.

The first game focuses on a pirate crew that started off exploring Angelic ruins on a frontier planet-- after their ship crashed-- and are now being drawn into the Celestial intrigues between Angels and Demons.

The second game focuses on Baroness Lupine von Changepelt's Traveling Wildspace show, which is getting drawn into the lead-up to the First Galactic War. They're investigating the murder of a prodigal princess by a false flag operation led by a legendary mercenary and trying to figure out why they're being attacked by every Orcish raiding party for light-months in any direction.

Next campaign I'm planning is either going to be my epic Planescape/Star*Drive crossover (in which the two settings are gradually combined into a Galactic Planescape) or a Street Fighter RPG campaign with rules tweaks to support more urban fantasy.

(Hey folks, new to the site)

Current: Ninjas & Superspies, homebrew campaign
System: based loosely on palladium's d20 system, but heavily homebrewed rules (been working on a homebrewed system for about half this campaigns life, as the campaign is heavy on martial arts/hand to hand combat and dare I say it.. grappling.  Which most, if not all, systems I've looked at handled fairly poorly.)

Setting: Earth, 150 years from now, tells the story of magic/monsters/whatnot coming to earth

Duration: Going on 3 years now once a week, and hope to keep going for as long as interest persists

Type: face-to-face, but recently added email to the mix

Bonus: I originally came up with the idea for this campaign with the thought that allowing my regular group of gamers to create their own "earth-like" world from more or less 'the ground up' would be interesting. As they play their choices/actions have global consequences/results.  With the end goal being after they finish this campaign, we fire up new campaigns in the world they have created.

Ok, my current weekly game:

Was Pathfinder, switched over to 4E dnd, Face to face, Setting is the City of Sigil, The Forgotten Realms and Ebberon.

Been playing for a few months, expect the game to last years.

Campaign back story in a nutshell:

Six 'heroes' are summoned from various worlds and planes by a wizard seeking help to save his world from an invasion of Demons.

The very diverse group of heroes agree to help mostly out of goodwill, and partially in expectations the wizard will return them home afterwords.

Demons overwhelm the wizards world and refugees including the heroes escape through a portal to Sigil.

The heroes adventure in Sigil and do some portal hopping, trying to recover evil artifacts that were the demons goal.

The heroes mostly succeed in foiling the demons plans to use evil artifacts to take over sigil, and than all of the Planes.

Time line advances 50 years (New characters made to make change from pathfinder to 4E less troublesome)

Two of the original heroes become cool mentor type npc's.

New heroes are summoned in a similar manner to save the same world again from the leftover demons of the first invasion 50 years ago.

Heroes take on this threat and discover Lolth is planning something that threatens everything.

They travel to a dark elven city in hopes of learning more and actually working against Lolth.

Heroes disguised as Drow (One pc is actually from the city) struggle at first but eventually accomplish quite a lot in the drow city.

They learn that one heroes home world of Ebberon is being invaded by Neogi and they choose to travel there immediately.

The heroes, a handful of allies they have gained, and 330 goblins liberated from the Drow city flee through a portal to Ebberon.



Characters

Kaius: Half Vampire Assassin, roman military man type.
Millie: Githzerai Psion Druid, goth type.
Itch: Goblin Battlemind (Psychic warrior) Liberator of Goblins
Vivi: Warpriest of Ellistraee, Drow noble
Sora: Kalashtar Ardent (psychic warrior/healer)  
Analu: Human Elementalist storm/wind sorcerer, Airship Captain from Ebberron.

 
Note the three characters from  Ebberon are all from different times.

Neverwinter Nights Campaign Setting using D&D Next.

I'm kinda burning out on making my own adventures, so I'm considering a published adventure. Maybe Tomb of Abysthor.

Considering picking up Dragon's Demand from Paizo. Level 1-6 works for me. However, I find it difficult to stomach the cloying flavour of their adventures, at least in the APs I've seen.

Dungeon World, tonight my players are venturing inside an abandoned temple (That used to be inhabited by Kobolds) and is current being used by cultists of the multiplanar city of Dis as a beachhead for dimensional overlap. They should solve this, this week. Not sure what we're doing next week!

Details, we're playing face-to-face, in a world of my own creation.
