Both played 1E, but eventually I'd play 2E with the home group too. 85-89</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">At my first college I ran a short-lived 2E game. 90-91</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Dropped out of college moved back to NY and played in a 2E game for a year (also ran a short-lived thing for the same group in the summer). 91-92</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Started up a 2E group with members of my band and friends I met at community college a year later. One member of that group would end up in most of my games. 93-95</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Transferred back to a 4 year college. Joined a group and started a group (with some intersecting members). Both 2E. 96-99.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">In 2000 started my Out of the Frying Campaign that lasted just short of six years. That same basic group would be the basis of my Second Son of Second Son that began in 2007 (which lasted to 2009). We played 3E/3.5E</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Around the same time I began playing in another group for a couple of years - again with some members in common.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Left for grad school and returned in 2012 to join another 3.xE game, which ended in 2015/16.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">In 2019, I moved to Pittsburgh and a friend there talked me into started a 5E game, which started F2F and ended up virtual</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">2020 Pandemic hit and since we all had to play virtual anyway, I started a game with some players from past groups who are now all around the country (including a friend from the 1993 group and another that I started gaming with in '97)</li> </ol>So I guess by the OP's criteria, I was a part of 11 face-to-face groups - though it is difficult to make distinctions since time and people often overlapped.  37 years!
