I'm currently finishing up my homebrew conversion of Al-Qadim and am considering using the Savage Tide AP as a shake down campaign for it. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about the campaign as of yet.
I do know that it starts in a relatively large city. I was thinking about taking the published city and renaming it. Most likely it would fit best in The Pearl Cities, probably using Gana or Tajar.
Al-Qadim has plenty of jungles, islands, lost civilizations, forgotten gods, and pirates. And while Al-Qadim normally focuses on the elemental planes, the outer planes are still there.
Can any of you see a reason that this wouldn't work?
From what little I know, I don't see why setting it in Al-Qadim wouldn't work. In fact, it sounds like a great idea (but then, so does the Asian-themed version). I always loved the Al-Qadim setting and would love to see it revisited.

I was thinking of something similar. It could work quite easily - Sasserine could be replaced by any decently-sized city. (It's not /that/ big.) The important thing is that it needs a certain element of lawlessness and a large port.
Yeah, you don't even have to change the name. Sasserine sounds like a city on the Barbary Coast anyhow.
