I'm the coordinator for a whole pile of LARPs that run in the Boston area every month. In April, we start to cook up the new chronicle (the universe resets with a few tweaks, and everyone makes new characters). Here's what we're definitely running, and a few that are under consideration. These games are run nationwide with a large local presence and regular conventions at the regional and national levels.
1) Vampire: The Masquerade. White Wolf Old World of Darkness (non-boffer, theater style). There are mechanics for everything, but the local group tends not to pull them out too often, straight RP most of the time. We have about 30 regular players and another twenty or so who visit from other cities occasionally or are intermittent attendees.
2) The Accord (White Wolf New World of Darkness Combined venue) is an experimental new venue where you can play any of the White Wolf supernaturals (Mages, Werewolves, Geist, Vampires, Prometheans, Hunters, Mummies, etc.) - a bit Lovecraftian in theme, Something Bad has started tearing holes in reality to come through and take this world from us, so we've all had to band together to form the Accord and try to fight back. Player versus environment. We're not entirely sure what The Thing is, so there's a solid mystery element as well. This one has generated a LOT of excitement, and I'm worried/hopeful that we'll break 60 players. We have a game site that can handle it and a solid team of storytellers.
3) Vampire: The Requiem. White Wolf New World of Darkness (non-boffer, theater style). We have about 20 regular players and another dozen or so who visit from other cities occasionally or are intermittent attendees.
4) Garou (White Wolf OWOD Werewolf). I am too tired to write a blurb for this, but we're starting the game up in April or May as well.

Games currently run on the 3rd Saturday every month, and when the new chronicles start in May (April for historical events etc.) we'll most likely be shifting to two games on the second Saturday and two games on the third Saturday.
