There is much to be said for people still living in a pre-industrial society nowadays being in a jungle more interesting than this urban one. There are interesting stories to tell in RPGs from the perspective of people who still live in tribal or hunter gatherer societies that still believe in magic, their struggle to maintain their way of life and the stewardship of the land or waters that sustain them. Modern people are too relatable to fantasize about and they suck for what they are doing to humans and the planet even if it's by mistake and a consequence of modern shitting's raw sewage production. Right now there is a global manure shortage with over 8 billion assholes shitting; no matter how many human assholes there are there is not enough shit coming out of them to fertilize the food they eat. I'd prefer a civilization that produces enough feces even if more primitive and making more sense than modern nonsense.
