I think my main honest concern might be: what are you trying to offer that this forum doesn't already have, or what I'm not already in? The third option feels the most unique, but then we run into an issue where an RP that's based on the politics of Rome - even in a fantasy setting - isn't very open to those who aren't versed in Roman politics, and based on my knowledge of the Roman political system it can get confusing and complicated. So it's not already the most accessible of topics.

The second option is something that's already prevalent in the forum. There is nor has their been a shortage of sci-fi NRP I feel. Although I do have ideas I'd like to pursue in something like that. But in an almost ironic twist I'd like something more vanilla than not. I'd also require Earth.

And on the first I already got stuff like Precipice of War to wet my tongue. It may not be the near-future area, but it's evolved enough over the four/five year tenure it's existed that it has its own unique, pulp-fiction world. And scanning the Interest Check and active RPs I can pick out a couple already within this area in some form or another (either "Post WW3" or in some fantasy analog for modern conflict and politics).
