What campaigns are you involved with RIGHT NOW?

I'm in a Shadowrun 5e campaign brought in as a face. First time ever having played the system so I kept it simple. No magic or technological augmentations for me. I'm quite curious about how long I would be able to survive considering the general consensus that either one is needed to actually be effective as a runner. So far, leadership seems to be a very useful skill in buffing up the party and while I have low damage, the weapons like shock gloves and guns seem to be able to allow me to keep up with the party. That said my favorite part so far was finding out about the subduing rules and the system being more skill based actually allows me to use it despite my low strength.

On alternate weeks on the same day and group I play a pathfinder game in a warish setting. My party is a bunch of xenophobe elves soldiers kicking human ass among other humanoids. My elf archer named Natty (intended) uses an array of alchemical and magical arrows he crafts on his own time to help him in any given situation. Its fun to play Marvel's Hawkeye although book keeping because of all the arrows I have has become a horrible experience.

Another weekly Pathfinder game I play in is set in some dustbin world where everything dangerous ends up in (e.g. gods, tech, aliens) GM brings in a lot of anime, games, book references (half of which I only can understand) while the rest of us players try to keep up in our own madness. Last week my PC Tom Dick the halfling enforcer and his muscle Harry the Troll (actually an ape) got killed soloing a dragon (because half the party were down and the other half decided not to assist) I'm trying to see my luck if the GM will accept that my escape attempt is a success since he misused some rules (the dragon blindsense) but its not looking too good since most of the guys in the FLGS already know about the story and know that the GM was out to kill me because I killed his new favorite NPC (not my fault I didn't know the reference)

Just started an Alternity campaign today which uses the feel of CoC. New bunch of players I've never met (except the GM) but they're all pretty cool. Hell one of the guys rolled a 1 three times today against the BBEG probably saving our skins. Me in my infinite wisdom (aka just because I am a nutter who wants to see what happens) rolled up a personality based diplomat with no combat or defence skills whatsoever (really. I'll save those if I survive to level 2) choosing to rely on last resorts and my other skills instead. Introduced him as a celebrity paranormal investigator with a popular TV show and the GM tacked on to it that I'm actually the nemesis of the BBEG after being a thorn in her side for a long long time. Was quite surprised with that bit since I joined in the game far later (I chargen for an hour while everyone already started) but the really sweet part was that the GM gave us all magic powers. Wohoo. Played a few other Alternity games but all we had was cool tech.

There is also the rare once a month Marvel Heroic campaign my friend is running. The group is currently split between people working for SHIELD and people working for the Brotherhood. I joined in as an unaligned Punisher wannabe with Longshot/Domino mutant powers freelancer eventually assisting (pressganged with remote bomb collar) the SHIELD agent player. Because I missed a few sessions the GM NPC'd me (hence me missing my escape window which would have so worked due to my prep) and upon rejoining I found myself having a new powerset as an AoS Deathlok. Now trying to figure out how to get out of that predicament. Or maybe I should make what I initially wanted as one of the gods from Marvel's Greek pantheon (because they are so much more cooler than the Asgardians)
