Modern Characters with Real-World Weight

I'm glad you're here.

Modern roleplaying starts closer to home. The characters live in a world that looks like ours, shaped by the same systems, pressures, and questions. They’re not mythic figures. They’re people who carry student debt, answer late-night calls, and try to do the right thing even when it’s hard to say what that is.

Let the world press in on them. A character who grew up with eviction notices might hoard supplies. Someone who’s always been the caretaker might not know what to do when they’re the one who needs help. A person with a spotless record might break the rules for the first time and have to decide whether they’ll ever go back.

The weight isn’t just emotional. It’s social, financial, cultural. It shapes what the character wants, what they avoid, and what keeps them up at night. That’s what makes a modern character feel real.

The modern line leaves space for characters shaped by the world we recognize. You can find it at lightspress.com/discover.

I hope you're doing well today,
