To be fairly honest, i actually dislike modern or near modern roleplays. I feel more at home in fantasy/middle ages/ancient roleplays as to me, those give more more creative opportunity. A big aspect of what I like about certain roleplays is the World Building and Characters that come out of it. In modern settings, at least to me, I feel restricted. I don't necessarily know in what ways I feel restricted, but all the same, I feel that my options for creating my nation and characters are less than I would in other settings. Maybe it is the closeness of the setting to the real world is w hat makes me feel restricted. In the end, I feel that I excel at creating worlds within a setting that is not close to our modern world.
