I'm a big fan of things in al-Qadim, definitely. It really had a non-typical setting that stuck with me. I liked the sahir, I think it was, that could cast any spell but it was that they sent a djinn out into the multiverse to find it - depending on things like type or level affected if they could bring it back.Al-Qadim: I think this is another gem that could be resurrected that would be popular, especially if it was stripped from its relation to the Forgotten Realms and allowed to be its own thing, with its own unique races (and perhaps a home for genasi).
Kara-Tur: Honestly, I enjoy Rokugan better - but not with D&D rules. I’d love to see an Asiatic D&D campaign, but I think the old Karu-Tur would have to be razed to the ground and rebuilt from scratch, as well as divorced from the Forgotten Realms. Likely though, emotions may be too charged at the moment for bringing this land back at this time.
I never did much with Kara-tur - most of my exposure to it came from Ishi Barasume in the old FR comics - but as far as Rokugan... I've always been a huge fan of that setting even before Wizards converted it to D&D. I would say that it was one of the few settings I started out with on the 'groundfloor' in first edition L5R and went along with for a long time.
