>optimal setting

Depends on the Campaign you want to run. You can fit each class into a strictly Norse flavor setting. You can also fit each class into a strictly Arabian setting. Thats one of the best things about D&D having winnowed itself down over five editions - the classes are broad and flexible enough to work anywhere.

But the answer to your question? Certainly not fucking Forgotten Realms (>>53685580) because that setting has been done to death and theres no places for characters to do anything.

My answer? Golarion (Pathfinder)

>optimal subject

Adventure and Fortune, to win the hand of a bakers daughter, to live up to the legend of the Knight of Burgundymoor, to reclaim a lost nobility, to discover that which has been forgotten, and carve the name of your lost friend onto the very heart of the god of death.

Feudalism at least guarantees you a job and a roof over your head.

A feudal lord has a social expectation and personal financial interest in keeping his serfs alive and reasonably healthy, because they are tied to his land and are what he relies on to maintain his wealth/power. Labor isn't mobile, so the serfs you have now are the serfs you'll always have. If they die, you're fucked.

A corporation (particularly in the 19th century model where there aren't really any fair labor practices laws) can abuse its workers as much as it wants. Who cares if they have to work two jobs to afford food? Who cares if they're worked to death in dangerous factories? Mobility of labor means you can just hire more poor people to take their place.

With the upcoming WoW remake, I can't help but recall the absolute clown suits I'd get with my mismatched gear.
Jumpers!

Pic unrelated. Dogs are just cool.

Your question is pretty broad. Are you looking for a setting with nothing supernatural what so ever? When you say near future how near do you mean, when you mean recent past how recent are we talking here?

Do you want any supernatural at all? There's a lot of horror or urban fantasy in modern or recent historical settings, if you can stomach that.

That's nothing! In my character's backstory I lived in a house built by Rogal Dorn that he made for my family after our old one got molested by Slaaneshi Daemon-Orks.

Would most non GW stores allow proxy models for stuff like this? I don't quite need a basilisk/medusa, just the cannon for R&H.
I assume WW2 models would work in its stead?

How tall are Custodes next to the Chads? I saw pic-related but (from the base thickness) it looks like this may just be dishonest memery.

The fae are actually the Grigori and spawn of Qayin who fled to Elphame to escape the wrath of God after the whole knowledge debacle on the mountain, warped and twisted in the mists.

I did some reading on their origins and I'm not really a fan of integrating Judeo-christian mythology into it. In my cobbled together setting there's also nothing resembling Cain or Yahweh.

I like the idea of them being "hidden" people more, I was thinking of making a lot of their technology stone and hide amongst the hills and trees and use magical trickery. Smaller and stature, masters of camouflage. I prefer them to be a patrons of individual locations like nymphs and the like.

Leveling up should be based on what car parts you get, and should function similar to Shadowrun's karma system. It gives players a good reason to split loot amongst each other, and can be used as a carrot in a pinch.

Gasoline mechanics (how much certain cars burn, how accessible gas is) should be thought out, but left to the DM's discretion.

Needs Buford T. Justice as a recurring character.

>>53680234
i agree with the fuel, but leveling will be done through buying these "Disks" that give you skills, after 5 you level up

Simply play apocalypse world

I'd build robots, because the idea of a slave race is stupid. To make them "naturally enslaved" you'd need to make them mentally deficient, and once you did that they wouldn't be fit for anything but manual labor (negating the economic argument) and you probably wouldn't even want to fuck them anymore (negating the hentai argument).
