I'm just curious how many here use TRoS in the given world, versus one of their own.
I'm using my own - LotR, the world of men, 250 years after the war of the ring.

I'm using TROS in Weyrth (which, well, is my own world, I guess), but I'm also planning to use it set in a world from my favorite Polish Fantasy Fiction.

Weyrth. Specifically in the Seat of the Xanarian Empire (at the moment, anyway).

I'm running a TROS solo campaign set in Harn. The PC is a mercenary currently in a caravan on the Salt Route. When he returns home I plan to involve him in a war between Kanday (his place of birth) and either Rethem or Tharda, perhaps both.
FWIW, I'm (slowly) working on a HarnMaster-TROS conversion. The magic conversion is going well, but I'm still wondering how to deal with priests and psionics.

Using it in Weyrth right now, but plan on using it for a Wuxia world.

Obviously I want to run a game in my city of Marsui, which has its own thread a few posts down.
But the game also makes me want to get out old D&D settings and TROS 'em.
The idea of Dark Sun TROS makes me a little giddy, adopting the character tree idea over to the Riddle just seems like a damned lotta fun.
Even Forgotten Realms, a setting that has generally left me very, very cold and I have visions in my head of using TROS with this new 3E purty book...
In Planescape TROS, suddenly Githyanki are terribly dangerous psychotic soldiers from a race of trained warriors, fanatically faithful to their Liche Queen...SA's anyone? Conflicting philosophies anyone?
Suddenly dusty old boxed sets are very dangerous places again.

This is what I always wanted...
Dark Sun, incidentally, is the first non-Weyrth TROS setting that I heard was in common use back when the game first popped up almost a year ago. I'll bet it would work great.

The more I think about TROS Planescape, the happier it makes me. The clashing philosophies, deadly magic and hidden gates to other worlds.
Any idea on who was playing the TROS Dark Sun?
I'd love to hear some Actual Play outta them.

It was the Scarlet Jester. I don't know how to reach him.

Not up and running yet... but a "what if" version of Renaissance Europe and the surrounding lands. Much to work out, like the timeline, the coinage systems, maps, kingdoms, empires, alliances, guilds and all that other good stuff.

I'm playing in Xanarium, but a slightly altered one - dark, gritty, crime-ridden, with prostitutes, cigarettes, crossbow shootouts in warehouses, and dirty cops (city guards).
Jake - I really am writing up this campaign to post in Actual Play. It's just taking a while.

Setting it up in War Hammer, should run it later this year.
Using the melee system and parts of PC generation in my Fading Suns campaign (which uses the Millenum's End game system)

Needs it's own thread. In fact hasn't it been brought up already? Anyhow, lots of things to think about like shields.
