A group I was in fifteen years ago played Al-Qadim, first in its native
AD&D, then in our homebrew, and we got so frustrated with the conversion
problems that we gave up and made new homebrew characters instead in a
world (that someone already had) with a similar feel.

But I do miss Roushan, half djinni (I persuaded the GM to treat her
technically as a half-elf) fighter/cleric, who used to cast "Silence 15'
radius" so her twin sister could steal from people we didn't like's
houses.
