Stealing pies and robbing candy stores instead of taking dragon's hoards and killing dark lords.

yeah, that's fine. I was thinking of -maybe- having them deal with some kobold thieves at some point too.
I am really hoping it winds up with them strongarming the kobolds into a hide and seek game.

Depending on the system, there may be a campaign already written for you.

Step 1: Watch every single Studio Ghibli movie
Step 2: Have ideas

>>27488162
Go watch Adventure Time, Peter Pan, the Goonies, etc.

Tell the players to play that kind of game.

Laid back, childish, silly adventures, with little to no killing.

My PC is a game right now is 12, and he's going fine.

Does the Dungeon Master kidnap them from their homes, preventing them from returning until they complete all his dangerous tasks?

>>27488162
I would, if I was GMing such a premise, use The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury as inspiration.

Eight boys go out trick or treating, only to notice their friend, Pipkin, missing. A man named something something Moundshroud helps them find him. Sounds nice and all, but they go through time learning about death and how we humans interact with it.

Basically, at the end they find him but each of the eight kids have to give up a year of their lives to have Pipkin live again. Moundshroud promises he will come to each of them when their appointed year comes

Point is; that was a really good story.

There's a variant of 4e to run 0-level campaigns. The intent is that the level 0 part of the campaign is "how the characters became adventurers."

Alternatively, my DM played a game in a place similar to narnia.

It was a game board that was enchanted to be a real world.

Instead of dying, your child got kicked out of the world and had to make another character themselves.

Basically, it was us, roleplaying kids, roleplaying.

The kid is smart and techy. He lives in a medieval setting, son of a clockmaker. He forged together a hunk of metal, clockwork, pullies, etc, into a Leonardo-Davinci style mecha about 8 feet tall. Then he installed magic stuff into it so it'd run smoother, and be powered by his emotions [when I roll high, the robot gets stronger, when I roll low, the lower get weaker].

And while the robot is fighitng, the pilot can use bardic style buffing. So I just yell loudly and roll high and the mecha becomes godlike.

My mecha is literally powered by hotblood.

The PC designed the mecha, because he was kinda Quixotic and wanted to go on adventures, but knew since he was only 12 he'd get himself killed if he went alone. So he made the mecha.

It flies, can turn its hands into drills to dig/burrow, and carries a large wrench as a weapon.

So far the kid has obsessed over chocolate milk, made the author-basher with a dead kid sad by comparison, made by Noblewoman PC annoyed to no end, and smashed up some shadow monsters.

Good times. Kid PCs are fun.

>>27488405
That's good, but who wants to deal with the hassle of giving everyone a familiar?

Too bad this one is just a side character on this comic. The rest is just a generic as hell shounen that ends with all characters growing up and becoming regular adults because you know, adventures are for kids and retarded man-children.

Nigga do you even need to ask?

What are some plot hooks orphans could theoretically have happen?

A. Tiny little guys being all "You must help us, great one!" Works for turtle knight scenarios AND ratmen undercivilization scenarios.

B. Getting lost while playing. Self explanitory. Can go to many locations with this.

C. stowing away somewhere. Dangerous. Would send the campaign off... somewhere.

More plothooks. More!

Historically, what kinds of orphanages were there? There's the monastic kind, I think, where you were all brought up as little monks. Then the kind where some mean lady shovelled out gruel. I am terribly uneducated on this subject, but it seems that if there was some purpose to the orphanage, there would be more purpose to the adventuring.

>>27491116
they were basically mini child labor camps if i remember correctly.

nobody really started adopting until after the 1700th century

>>27488162
>Adventuring party of children

Like, conventional ye olde fantasy style? I no idea. I imagine the system would be irrelevant as long as it was somewhat low leveled, "kiddie," and you just said "alright everyone is a kid, deal w/ it"

If you want to branch out, there's lots of fun systems for that kinda thing

Mutants and Masterminds 3e could be fun for a Teen Titans style game. It could ostensibly pull off a fantasy setting game, but you'd have to keep a pretty close eye on everyone's character sheets to make sure they fit in thematically. Superstrength in ye olde fantasy land doesn't make a lot of sense more often than not

Monsters and Other Childish Things is a fucking awesome system that could easily work for adventuring kids, though things kind of depend. By default, they either have an insane raving powerhouse of a friend and the game assumes that you're more trying to keep that friend in check than go out slaying goblins or whatever, or everyone's a "Weird" kid, basically some kid that has something really fucking off about them to the point where you make other normal people uncomfortable. It could really work out nicely for a game where your protagonists are social pariahs or normal kids just trying to make sure the crazy all-powerful Genie that became their best friend doesn't kill a bully and his entire family because holy overreaction, batman

>>27491285
well, that at least sets the stage for numerous "get the hell out of this place" adventures. And makes it something close to a prisoner game.

>>27491292
>protags are social pariahs
>monster orphans
That sounds like it works perfectly

>>27491292

In terms of heroic fantasy, Dungeon World could probably work really really well as long as you keep everything within a somewhat defined level of "kiddishness." Your protagonists can't stand up to an Orc or Dragon, but maybe their teenaged bully equivalents are mucking up the village and you want to make 'em stop it. Dungeon World is fairly abstract as part of its nature, so I could definitely see it working

I can't think of any other systems that really spring to mind when I think "kiddie adventures"

>>27491292
>Superstrength in ye olde fantasy land doesn't make a lot of sense more often than not
>Heracles
>Sampson
>Beowulf
>Gilgamesh

At what point to child adventurers graduate to taking on ACTUAL adventures? Or is it more of a necessity-begets-child-soldiers thing?

why wouldnt it be? it's actually a pretty cool idea.
you could totally tom sawyer that bitch, OP.

>>27490491
You're probably thinking of Golden Sky Stories.

>>27491323

Also to elaborate a little on that, all "Weird" kids have something distinctly off about them as a consequence of what's more or less a "Mutation" of some kind. In-universe, it could just as easily be fluffed as them being a Monster Race like a Lamia or some really inhuman style race like that, but otherwise it assumes that they're just somehow corrupted or mutated in some way. Anyway, pick up the Monsters and Other Childish Things book, it'll make more sense when you read about it

>>27491343

Hey good for you buddy you read a few old books, but we're talking kiddie adventures here, alright? If you want to go making the son of Zeus in a kiddie adventure game, that's your business, but most people would say that reeks of Gary Studom, so keep your autism in check and take a look at context, wouldja?

Nothing helps a campaign like the party Paladin teaching his daughter how to live off the land, barter with merchants, speak with nobility, and slaughter the enemies of your Order with righteous fury.

Paladins: The class statistically most likely to pick up a few kids.
Them and bards.

>>27491513
Talking cat. Very good social skills. His brother is also a talking cat who is extremely physically skilled and uses just his tail. He should be playable too.

>>27491550
They both are in Exalted. Cat-totem Lunars are, after all, a classic.

Tenative plot idea: Things are idyllic in the orphan-dome, until such time as the matron comes down with some form of sickness. The replacement/assistant matron is cruel and unkind.
Travel through the local forest to collect enough soothing tea to make the matron feel better!

>>27491598
But Exalted is shit.

Okay, step the fuck up, anybody here ever play Kidworld? It's a setting where every adult is blind and every kid is fucking insane, to the point of having character flaws based on how stupid your kid is. And they go blind when they grow up.

>>27491116
Historically in Europe most orphanages were set up as an extension of religious institution (i.e. the Church, whether Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or otherwise). The eventual aim would be to settle the orphans into a household as an apprentice or the like learning a skilled trade.

>>27492843
>>27491116
If you just want to justify adventuring though, this is pretty easy: A wealthy retired adventurer founded an orphanage. He was an orphan and wants to make places where kids in similar situation can learn the skill she used to survive. To this end he teaches combat, magic, and the vast array of little practical skills that befit a rogue or ranger. He also brings in buddies from time to time, who help teach, and he's on good terms with the local artisan's guild, although the PCs are not the sort to go that route unless you feel like writing a crafting system.

The context is she summoned it to begin with.

>>27493075
She made a problem, and then she solved it. Sums up most of the comic really.

What if their adventures varied wildly from the mundane to epic?

The implication being that any 'serious' encounters are the kids using their imaginations. You wouldn't even need to make a distinction between what was real and what was fantasy, and most of the time, their experiences would be a blend of the two.

The story could climax at a point where a plot device that the players would assume is make-believe turns out to be real.

>>27492760

>>27493467

It was ALL real.

>>27493488

I don't know about orphans, but running an adventurer's guild would be fun, and orphans are perfect to train into adventurers. Monster or not.

You got some fucked up definition of 'cute'. Stop presuming that other people share your crazy.

>>27490451

one on the right has a rather unique bulge.

I imagine early teens, like 12-14. They're apprentices set out to prove themselves, in a world where few people become adventurers instead adventurers are a social class. As such adventuring starts early, in the mid teens for most races and late teens for Dwarves and Elves. Most adventurers are born adventurers, however orphanages make up the rest. Apprenticeships begin very early, about the time the person can walk and speak.

Fighting types are given wooden swords and taught the basics on fighting styles. Magic types usually go through rigorous studying, unless they're a sorcerer. In which case they're left with magical care to make sure they don't kill themselves or others. Religious types study scripture of their gods, as well a bit of sword play for clerics, while paladins train like fighters but also schooled in basics of the church. Thieving & stealthy types are taught how handle a knife, pickpocket, open locks and the other basics before left to fend for themselves on the street.

Then around early teenage years most adventurers go out on their first adventure. They team up with other young adventurers, most likely childhood friends or siblings. Most never make it back, but adventuring is never easy.

Monsters are super diabetic. too much candy puts them in temporary comas. Last time the monsters were awake, they ate so much sugar that they are only now waking up.

PCs are children going trick or treating. Adults believe monsters are just elaborate costumes. players can either beat the candy out of the monsters, give the monsters some of their candy as an "offering"to make them leave, or out-do them in a bet/game.

player alignment is tricks vs treats and candy vs violence. A tricks/violence character can either beat the shit out of a monster or something similar. treats/candy would be nice to the monster, offering it candy or a game to get it to leave. treats/violence would be an older brother protecting his sibling by beating up the monster. tricks/candy would either try to find a way to profit off the monsters our deal with them in traditional Halloween horror - razor laced candies or such.

>Is it acceptable to have an adventuring party of children?
Sure, if all the players agree to it and have no problem.
>What adventures would they go on
Those first level quest would work, exploring the deep basement of a tavern and hunting evil giant rats. Finding the chicken lost in the forest, while a few high level adventurers watch them from a far and keeping high level monsters away from the childrens.

after reading your post, all i can think of is the children's crusade

Fund it.

One adventure could be them having to deal with 'home invaders' that the adults think the kids are lying about. Yeah, it's a cliche, but it could be an interesting thing for them do in-game. See how the players approach it.

Kids finally taking things to their own hands and dealing with the vampire in the closet that father doesn't believe.

>What adventures would they go on, what creatures would they face?
Isn't physical battle a little traumatic for children? I mean, adult soldiers get PTSD and shit, imagine what it's like for children to be regularly staring into the eyes of death. I mean, I get that adventurers don't go crazy (because all murderhobos are crazy by default. Also, suspension of disbelief and all) but aren't using children taking it a bit too far? Why do shows, games, books etc. do that?

Kids should actually handle it better than adults. If you've lived a decent life then get thrown into a blender of battlefield, it's bound to knock you off your rocker.
If it's all you've known from as early age as you can remember you don't really mind since you just don't know any better.

Sure they're cute when they're young, but they still never get adopted. This is because feeding one alone is like feeding an entire household. And entire household who eats mostly if not entirely meat.

I would say, more they're AD&D style multiclassing. They level both up by splitting their xp between classes.

>>27503332

It wouldn't even be hard to do.

Run a campaign, get to level 8, have a lengthy denouement where people settle down and then use the stats of whoever they settled down with to make a new character for the next campaign.

If you've got a consistent group that enjoys a particular setting, you could go through 4-6 generations before calling it quits, probably after they're established as one of the ancient families in the world, the maker of Emperors and Kings or renowned for their immense wealth, knowledge and power.

Terribad system

Joe and Jill are two humans
They are both physically frail, sickly, mentally retarded individuals
Their stats are 8s across the board.

Every one of their kids is above average.

Tim and Tinna are both humans in the top tier atheletes. 17 in physical stats. Most their children somehow manage to far surpass the maximum score their race could hope to achieve without magic, somehow.

Also, the minimum score of 3 in a stat thing? After 1 generation the new minimum score is 4 (both parents had 3, and child rolled a 1 on a d6).
Next generation the minimum score is 5, etc.

>>27508303
something more realistic would probably be an average of the parents +or- a value, or some kind of Roll-between-parental-attributes thing, where you get anywhere from one of the parent's attributes to the other, with a chance of + or -.

Once in a while, a grim-faced warrior would come along, and all the little monsters would go and hide, because they sometimes have sad dreams about fire and blood and men in shining armor. But sometimes when the scary man left, there'd be a new friend for them to play with!

No i mean if he's already dealt with the breath weapon of an adult dragon several times an immature ones shouldn't really threaten him.

I'm not saying that experience at killing the adults makes them good at raising kids. Just that experience fighting the adults will equip them to deal the dangerous aspects of the children, how to deal with bites/stings that sort of thing. If they've survived an adult form trying to kill them with that they can probably survive the inexperienced and less sinister applications of an immature monsters abilities.

...fuck, that actually sounds like a good game.

We once played a party of juvenile chromatic dragons. It was great fun.

For a child, almost anything can be an adventure.
I vividly remember me and the other kids from the neighborhood having "adventures" in the nearby woods.
Once, we got kind of lost, and ended up in a nearby junkyard. That shit was fucking exiting back then. We even found some abandoned computer parts in the woods, and dragged them back to our "base" which was an old tree.
Fun times, would relive again if I could.

You should check out Monsters and other Childish Things then. Especially the Road Trip campaign.

But as somebody who has played the adult as part of the same dynamic: It really depends on what the player characters are like. It can honestly become whack-a-moley rather than GETTING DRAGGED INTO ZANY ADVENTURES which isn't very fun.

Well, if a baby is in an all-powerful Liches body then it'd probably try to turn the world into it's oyster.

Not only that, but don't forget that Ni No Kuni is easily the best JRPG in the last 20 years.

I did think of mentioning that, but it's technically not a full party of children - there's two children and a young adult, plus a bunch of monsters. The party setup is kind of Pokémon-ish in that regard.

In terms of the tone, though, you're absolutely right - Ni No Kuni does deal with the drama of a child in a sword-and-sorcery fantasy world, working through his real world issues and problems as he adventures and grows.

>gets burned down by the tragic backstory assurance crowd- generally bandits
>monster orphan adventures are go

even if it's just "rebuild the orphanage", they have a reason to go adventuring.

Persona disagrees with you on the "easily" part.
Especially P3. I cried when Chihiro died

Children in nightmare worlds or worlds they know are spiritual/etc could work.

Not a drop of blood, but pleanty of nightmare fuel.

Or if they are young adults, you could go the battle royale or Dangan Ronpa route.

Generally having a kid character does make it harder to kill being some players may react poorly. Having something with a child's mentality (construct, robot, ghost, etc) something that can't die could be a work around, but they can still cease existing by other means, which may be harder for some players to stomache.

Am I the only one who would watch the shit out of that?

>>27522721
That's some foul shit.

>>27523202
Yup.

From day one it was about manipulating the players, rather than interacting with the game.

Pure metagaming, even, that sucked everyone up into it, and whose cue to end it came from out of game.

Also fake as shit, but quite a story.

What is Gunleon? But yes, I made a mildly restrained version of a Gurren Lagann as a PC [the mecha, not the personality of the Kid. The Kid is more "Lets fucking adventure!", then hotblooded hero, or shy Simon].

>>27524842
Actually I think we might make it through with none of that.

The 1000AD Three in Chrono Trigger were all teenagers, I think.

Most adorably depressing thread on /tg/.

Even knowing what this thing is I'd be down for it.

That's pretty good evil, stalk a girl for no reason for all that time, then as the party starts to care, you sweep the rug from underneath them.
