Rolemaster
Iron Crown Enterprises Rolemaster ShadowWorld
It was pretty close to quits for ICE, but they pulled through. This is a good thing. Kulthea, the ShadowWorld, was developed by Terry K. Amthor, and is probably my favorite campaign setting of all time.
Storyteller
White Wolf Mage: The Ascension I bought my first White Wolf game when they debuted Vampire: the Masquerade at GenCon in 1991. I settled on running Mage because I had more fun with the angle it was taking on the issues Storyteller explores.
I'm not currently running a game. A while back, I ran campaigns for Night & Fog, Windy City, and Chantry MUSHes. All three are defunct, MUSHes and campaigns both.

Dungeons and Dragons
Wizards of the Coast Dungeons & Dragons It's been about five years since I played in a D& D campaign.

I started playing when I was 9, and kicked TSR hobbies to the curb entirely after they published Unearthed Arcana without a single word that was not a reprint -- contrary to what E. Gary Gygax had promised us in his "Sorcerer's Scroll" article in The Dragon. Since I needed a new system, I got into Rolemaster and have been there as my system of choice ever since.

Fast forward to 1990, and my moving to Illinois to work at Fermilab. Fermi had an established gaming group, and their game of choice was AD& D. They also already had far more GMs than nights available, so I played in 4 AD& D campaigns, and got my Rolemaster Capaign into a smaller weekend rotation.
Like fish in a food chain, Wizards of the Coast ate TSR; Hasbro ate Wizards of the Coast. It's rather odd to ponder that the strange game everyone thought I was weird for playing when I was growing up is now a mainstay of one of the giants of the industry.
