I'm involved in 5 Play-by-Post campaigns. Two of them I GM, the other three I play in. All are located on Hero Central.

I'm involved with six campaigns; 5 face-to-face, one PBeM (although that one seems to be dying on the vine). However, the number of FtF campaigns may be a little misleading. We play regularly once a week, and rotate through campaigns. So one GM will run a scenario in his campaign for a few weeks, then the next GM will take over an run his campaign for a few weeks, etc. They run sequentially, not simultaneously. :)

FtF, I'm running The Watchmen, a mainstream Champions campaign. I'm playing in: The Hand of Justice, a kind of high-powered Justice Inc. or low-powered Champions game; a pulp supers game set in the late 1930's (but before WWII).
STARCROSS 451: A dimension-hopping Champions game that's kind of a cross between X-Men and the movie Stargate.
The Furies: Another mainstream Champions game... one that's been around for about 17 years.
Ultimo Lux: A mysterious dark supers game with a strong mystical theme (we're just starting this one, so I don't know much about it yet).
The PBeM game that's pretty quiet right now is a Golden Age Champions campaign.

I am only in two campaigns, but in my defense I do GM both of them:D

I run a 400 point Champions game set in a fusion of my old game world and the new FREd universe.

I also have a 10th level D&D game.

go figure.

Well I'm in 4 FtF games myself. One Classic Traveller game, one Rolemaster, one Fantasy Hero , and One Champions game as well. Of coures this does not include non-RPG stuff either, seems a few of us get together during the week sometimes and do a variety of other gaming.(card games, old Avalon Hill games, current board games, etc)

Three campaigns currently.

1) Champions, standard game. I am the team mystic. Primary campaign and the one I enjoy the most.:)
2) Starfire a galatic empire building campaign that I am running for a group of 4 friends. Its not roleplaying.
3) A flegling HackMaster campaign being run at the local game shop. It is struggling to survive right now, I bet it won't.:(

I have three
I GM one - Mystic Champions, standard superhero levels.
I GM another - Star Hero (reboot of an old old Spacemaster campaign).
I play in a transworld Fantasy Hero that also has very much a fantasy Anime feel.

The last two are one on one games, so I don't know if they qualify as much as group games. :-)
Gotta love being married to a gamer.

Currently, Two.

I play in one Champions game and run another. That seems to fill up all the free time available for now.

Just one, with me as one of two GMs. However, the campaign takes place in two cities and I actively play six different characters. Oh, I have been asked to join a second but I am still waitng with 'baited' character for it to start.

I am in 5 campaigns. Four F t F and one PBeM.

F tF:
1. 3 rd Ed. campaign set in the Birthright world of Cerilia. PC's are members of a unique Clerical order, the Order of the Eternal Beacon. If you have not experienced the Birthright material, I highly recommend it.

2. Low level Star Hero / Cyber Hero campaign set in the Asteroid belt. PC's started as Miners staking a claim and mining an Asteroid and interacting with pirates, they offered their 401 Rrrr plan,Naval forces and all sorts of miscreants.

3. Dark Champions / In Nominae. Just starting. PC's are normals with some sort of transgression against their faith, set in 1981 Earth.

4. I am running a Fantasy Hero campaign set in the Broken Kingdoms. PC's start in Calabria. PC's are aware that an edit function must be performed on Magic and Magic items and they have formed a Trade concern and recruited, I kid you not, 1024 followers to their cause. In a brillant troke the players each have donated 13 points, six players, to buy Money, vehicles, Bases, and Followers. Scary but cool.

5. PBeM. Fantasy Hero PC's are an assortment of starting 150 adventurers, who good naturly want to stick their noses in any conflict in order to prove themselves. And some profit, some for reputation.

At the moment I am in between campaigns. My group just finished an "historical" Fantasy Hero campaign. The story arc covered about 4 years game-time, and took just about as many to play in real time. We've been taking the last 4 weeks to gather our wits, and now almost everyone has ideas for other games. I'm going to begin a standard supers game. Our GM who just finished has 2 or 3 ideas including a Cthulu-like game set in the 20's. His wife has ideas for a sort of Navy SEALs in space game. And finally another player, who ran the 3 year fantasy game prior to the last one, wants to pick up where the last game left off, and run a whole new story arc.

So, at first, my answer had to be zero; but fairly soon I will be in 4 or 5 games, AAARRGGH!!!:eek:

I wasn't sure how the question was intended so I marked one for the one I "play" in but I GM another which of course takes a lot more time. There is a PBEM I'm supposed to be in but I'm not sure it's really happening. I was glad to see a significant number in the 1-2 range just because sometimes on the listserv it sounds like everyone else is either not gaming at all or is in many games.

I currently play in 2 campaigns

One is a 3rd edition D&D campaign. It is roughly set in historical Ireland.

The second one is a Fantasy Hero Campaign that is set in Mystara (The Classic D&D Campaign world). The gods are different (Yay, I hate Classic Immortals). The game has a lot of role playing in it and not much combat. I play a halfling rogue that is a huge hero from the last war. Of course, she really didn't do anything out of courage. She kind of stumbled in the right (wrong ?) place at the right time to slay (help?) the bad guy's champion. My handle is my character from that campaign, My avatar is the mini that I use for her.

i do also (in theory) play in a PBEM post game. I say in theory as the GM really hasn't done much but get the characters together. We really haven't seen a new post from the GM for weeks.

Tasha :)
