From what I've seen, almost every RP here is a fantasy-style RP. With maybe a few futuristic RPs.
But what I haven't seen is a modern-day, realistic RP. Why is this? Because people don't think they're that interesting?
IMO, a realistic/modern RP could have some quite practical uses.
1st Example: A School RP. Not a school full of kids with super-powers or whatever, but just a regular high school. The practical use of this is that people are able to slightly alter an aspect of their real life and convey it creatively, and, quite frankly, I could definitely see people getting help with their everyday problems through the RP posts of others.
2nd Example: A war RP. Not a war full of laser guns or magic staves, but with current day technology. The practical use of this could be to touch on the world of politics, potentially show people what wars are like from other countries' perspectives, and maybe, just maybe, even inspire people to go out and do something with their lives.
Comments, anyone?
