Right now? I'm writing a level 0 adventure for 5e. That time period between PC backgrounds and where they choose a class.

First Post
I have many 5th edition campaigns so this won't go in to much detail.
The first an oldest was the one that started with the Packets two years ago. What started as a drunken one shot has become our party of 8-11 running their own brewery and fighting against the already existing brewing cartels. Naturally the head of all the Breweries is an Ancient Black Dragon who leads the Mind Flayer brewery, the Lich brewery and Dwarf/Giant breweries. The last session featured the party defending their brewery from a massive assault. We gave them siege weapons and had their hirelings help out as they defended against literally hundreds of zombies.
The main and most consistent running one is an Eberron set campaign. Many other groups also play in this setting.
We have a party of 4.
1) A Drow Ranger 8/Fighter 3. The player in question does enjoy Drizzit. But unlike everyone's favorite Drow, he is not unabashedly good.
2) A warforged Fighter 11 who got the short end of the initial stat rolls and then refused to put his 3 ASIs in to strength giving him a strong 14 STR at level 11. The Rod of Lordly Might he found helps though. He also has a solid 22 AC which makes for many amusing encounters against average Enemies.
3) A Half-Elf Bard 11 who has recently taken to a deep devotion to the silver flame and is the Face of the party.
4) A Human - Variant Monk 11 who is using an Earth Bender archetype and custom feat to be more like Toff. She has gone through many many many many many balance changes and is finally somewhere that I am happy with. The all the time tremor sense had to go, and was replaced with a ki powered tremor sense similar to Chief Bei-Fong's ability in Korra. Her being 12 does make for many amusing moments. Two sessions ago they managed to get a 91 on their Efritti lamp roll. Two mundane wishes go by, and her last wish is for the Efritti to be her friends. She's already very distraught with how warforged are treated and wants to open a university for them. The Efritti being an apparent slave made her want to free him. So that was the last wish. Unlike Aladdin this probably won't be perfect. The Efritti hasn't shown up yet, but he will soon.
They are on a quest to find an Orb of Dragonkind, and have made many an enemy. They recently defeated Merrix d'Cannith at a hidden creation forge in Xen'Drik and are on their way to working with the new House Cannith leaders in Sharn once Jorlana decides who will lead. They have majorly pissed off the Emerald Claw, and have a yet unknown force working against them too.
As far as the Eberron conversion, I based the warforged off the packet, and other than that just keep the world like it is found in the campaign setting book. No one wanted to play an artificer or shifter so I didn't bother making rules for those.
Another group is playing the Skulls and Shackles adventure path, but set in the Lhazar Principalities. We have not met for like 3 months though due to them being busy with school. But we are going to start it back up again soon. There are 2 new players in it, and it's been working out so far. I am running S&S in pathfinder too for a weekly roll20 group, so the conversion is pretty easy.
Further in Eberron I introduced my parents to DnD with a series of short adventures set in Karnath with them primarily fighting the Emerald Claw. It was planned to be a one shot, but they liked it enough that I suspect we'll play once a quarter when I visit them. They are investigating an incident at Fort Bones right now. Surprise! It's the Emerald Claw.
Even further in Eberron, we have a small three person group where I am experimenting with a Hex Crawl style. They are exploring a Dwarven ruin that I am generating with the DMG random dungeon generator. It's going pretty well. This group also features a new player, and she is loving it as a Draconic Sorceress.
Outside of Eberron I am running the Adventurer's League Games weekly and we are approaching the last part of LMoP and then probably transitioning in to RoT/HotDQ or Expeditions depending on what the players want. It's a group of six, and it's been pretty consistent, the lowest being 3 at the beginning, but steadily increasing from there. This also gave me enough xp to make my own character level 3 for any dnding at PAX east which I am excited for.
Further outside of Eberron I am playing as a Draconic Sorceress in a game my Drizzit loving player is running in the Forgotten Realms. It's been quite exciting. We are all level five now and investigating all the Gods suddenly falling on to the world. I'm told by the DMS that there is a book series I can't read because it was their inspiration, so things are quite exciting for us.
After all that I'm thinking that I might try to piece together a Shadowrun 5e group after playing Dragonfall, or see if I can get a game of Numenara going because it would let me play all my favorite sci-fi character ideas. I need to start the Age of Rebelion game that I was DMing back up too.
