I've been playing tabletop RPGs for like... ever. 
I've got an entire bookshelf filled with gaming books, including basically the entire oWoD Mage and Changeling sets, much of Exalted, D&D 4e, Pathfinder... you name it, I've probably played it. I've also co-written and edited a couple of games (Concept Syndicate's Rumours and Kronos) and have three RPGs sitting on my computer in various stages of polish (the closest to Kickstarting for publication is a dystopian sci-fi game where magic is used to circumvent the laws of physics).
Right now, I play two tabletops. In my Thursday group, I'm running Star Wars, but on a card-based system (one of those aforementioned RPGs sitting on my computer ) that's similar to SAGA. Our intrepid heroes are about to resolve a Dark Side-enhanced plague, then take the fight to the Sith behind it. My Friday group is currently running Pathfinder, where I was basically playing April Ludgate as a wizard and am now playing an enthusiastic, sarcastic gnome monk.
I'm a big fan of systems that take seriously the truth that the mechanics represent and make statements about the world. Take CP2020, for instance. That game is obscenely, almost comically, lethal in combat, but that fits with the cyberpunk theme of "life is cheap." Game systems that try to do everything and represent every possible world and genre always fall flat for me.
