Ooh! No question, I'd want a Sequin Land campaign setting. For those who are unfamiliar, it is the world in which WayForward's Shantae series (a metroidvania platformer) takes place, and it's this awesome combination of Arabian Nights and swashbuckling, with an occasional dose of steampunk.
The human civilizations of this world were originally protected by the legendary genies, but now they've vanished, their half-genie children their only living legacy. The land is now ruled by powerful barons, and the sea by a fearsome pirate queen with a robotic ship. Relic Hunters seek out forgotten knowledge of a bygone era (such as the construction of steam engines or the ritual for trapping a genie in a lamp) and a clan of sapient zombies travels the globe in a skeletal horse-drawn caravan. They consume coffee, or brains if none is available.
Al-Qadim is cool, but Sequin Land feels much more colorful and imaginative. A lot of hidden lore exists, so DMs could easily invent new concepts and characters for their own games fairly easily. It also doesn't take itself very seriously, which most campaign settings seem to do. I light-hearted setting could be fun! Plus, I really want an excuse to play the awesome soundtrack the newest game has.

That could be awesome, and actually not so hard to do. I have been thinking of making a little conversion rules for a campaign in (Heroes of) Might and Magic settings. Possibly two, one for the "Old Universe" and the other for the current one. Somethings can be converted pretty easily, others might need a bit more work.
[sblock]In case of the "Old Universe" you can add futuristic weapons into the treasure table or at least to some old and weird ruin/location and call them ancient weapons

I might do KOL in 5E someday, for a silly session or three. Or 11.

Not a video game, but J.K. Rowling's Potterverse would be neat.
It's an RPG but not a D&D world, but Thedas from Dragon Age is cool.

Not a video game but The world from the Berserk manga/anime, not sure if it has a name

There was a 3e set for Diablo. It shouldn't be too hard to convert the monsters for 5e.

Not sure I'd want to role-play this -- it sounds like my typical Monday morning.
