DMed Labyrinth Lord, 4E, 3.5E

Played 4E, 3.5E

I never really have played or run a verity of systems, though I have a few floating around like M&M 2nd ed, and Deadlands.
 

GM: Star Wars Saga edition, 4e, 7th Sea, Savage Worlds, Hero System (5th ed.)
Played: Star Wars Saga, 4e, Savage Worlds, Horror Rules

Mind you, I'm coming off a long slowdown/shutdown of GMing (long-term burnout), and it's only the last year or so I've started propping up the screen again to any great extent. Back in the day, I'd have two or three different rules-sets running for my home group (which would also have two or three campaigns other folks were running), and using a couple more for convention one-shots.
 

GM: D&D 3.5e, Starblazer Adventures, Dread, My Life With Master, Trail of Cthulhu, The Mountain Witch
Player: D&D 3.5e, Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies, Fiasco, Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu
 

It's been a slow year for me:

GMed: New World of Darkness (My Bughunters hack), In a Wicked Age, and Exalted

Played: Dread and D&D3E

Since Time Immemorial:

GMed: AD&D 1st, AD&D 2nd, D&D (BECMI), D&D3.x, Torg, Vampire the Masquerade, Wraith the Oblivion, Mage the Ascension, Changeling the Dreaming (and the inevitable mixed games), In a Wicked Age, Exalted, Scion, Mutants & Masterminds, GURPS, Call of Cthulhu d20, New World of Darkness (Vampire the Requiem and my Bughunters hack), Star Wars Saga, Cyberpunk 2020, Shadowrun 2nd Edition, Modern d20, Alternity

Played: AD&D 1st, AD&D 2nd, D&D (BECMI), D&D3.x, D&D4e, Castles & Crusades, Torg, Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Ascension, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Changeling the Dreaming, Exalted, GURPS (3e and 4e), Call of Cthulhu d20, Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Star Wars d6, BESM 2nd Edition, Tri-Stat dX, Promethean the Created, Runequest 3rd Edition, Modern d20, Dread, Pendragon, Star Frontiers, Paranoia, Traveler
 

In the last 12 months, we've played... Rogue Trader, WFRP 3e, WFRP 2e, Savage Worlds (1930s pulp), Legends of Anglere (custom fantasy world), Shadowrun 4e, Mage (oWoD), Exalted 2e, and Paranoia.

Some of those might have actually been a little more than 12 months ago, and I've left off boardgames and beer-n-pretzels stuff.

Cheers, -- N
 

Quite the mixture

I have run games using these game systems so far this year:

Icons
Mutants & Masterminds
Wild Talents

I have played in games using these game systems so far this year:

Hero System (aka Champions)
Icons
Jazz (a game system I made up)
Mutants & Masterminds
Savage Worlds
SLA Industries

Hope to GM before the end of the year... well, since literally half of my game group either moved away or became unavailable due to real-life issues, if I am able to GM again at all this year, I'll be happy. :)
 

GMed: Cortex (one shot), Mutants & Masterminds, Shadowrun (modified for a post-apoc setting), and now starting Pathfinder.
Played: Nothing. (I did create a character for Exalted, but the game collapsed before I could start.)

I generally run at least one or two different game systems in a year as campaigns generally seem to last six months maximum. There have been times where I was running on two different nights, which can bring it up to three or four systems in a year. Plus one shots. Some years, we have a lot of those.
