[QUOTE="Suskeyhose, post: 9058834, member: 6840540"] Not really meaning to necropost here, but our group has managed to try: 5e for two campaigns in prebuilt adventures, one campaign in PF2e using a prebuilt adventure, two homebrew campaigns in PF2e, all five of those with the same GM, each has run for approximately a year. Second player who GMs has run a Savage Worlds game with a my hero academia-inspired homebrew setting using supers rules, and is now running a PF1e homebrew mythic campaign.
