I propose near-future with magitek. Perhaps the 2020-2040 range.

I don't like the idea of multiple worlds because people - and science fiction in general - tend to fuck up a lot. Particularly when throwing around timescales, computer power, distances, basic physics and most importantly sheer population.

A large space-based empire would not have any opportunity for the players to do anything significant if they weren't already in a position of power. There's just too much.

A near-future RP with magitek allows for a relatively familiar setting (i.e. modern day Earth) but also allows certain fantastical elements such as supertech, magical powers, and more.
