How do you prevent a campaign with this premise from getting creepy?

It's not inherently creepy until you start doing things that do make it creepy, such as having the hero dress in skin-tight clothes.

It's only creepy if you make it creepy. The unfortunate part about it though is unless a player is the 10 year old girl, it's gonna be a huge escort mission where the players have no agency in the end since the 10 year old girl is the destined hero.

So not really creepy in-and-of-itself, but not particularly rewarding either.

Seal it back up for another ten years? Is the hero of destiny the only who can seal it back up, or do they destroy it? Because if we can just stuff it into a new pit and throw a seal on it and protect it for another ten years then I think we're good.

By training the 10 year old for like 8 years.

Preferably using a montage and song.

>creepy, such as having the hero dress in skin-tight clothes.
There is nothing creepy about having gymnasts train since early age - I mean, it works for China.

Treat her the same way young Link is treated.

Don't set out to make her fap bait but understand that someone, somewhere, will make porn of her or fap to her image. It's going to happen. Period.

Or everyone plays 8-12 year old kids out to save the kingdom after an evil Wizard put all the adults to sleep or some shit.

The chosen one would would pick up on the basics of combat pretty quickly because destiny. There'd need to be penalties to strength, constitution and whatnot because they're still a child, supernatural talent aside.

This satyr gets it.

GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK

So Black Company?

This.

There is no problem that can't be solved by judicious application of training montages.

Oh, I missed the part where the hero has to be a gymnast.

I guess skin-tight stuff may be appropriate in some cases -- except in medieval settings where elastics, much less nylon, typically wouldn't exist -- but if the heroine is described in a sexually provocative manner, that's what makes it creepy.

One the evil is up, it's up. The hero needs to give it a good punch in the mouth to put it back under for another 500 years. In the 6 months it took them to track down the hero shit's already pretty dire.

Or that Witcher girl.

...

I'm pretty sure that everything China does is creepy.

What about Fireworks and Repeater Crossbows?

Give her an edgy brooding travel companion her own age or slightly older.

Have her swoon over him, have him be her straightman, have them work well together, make it obvious that they're endgame so that your players root for them.

Two options I can see are the destined party is also ten, and ends up banding together with the chosen one and the you walk the line of zany hijinks and grim reality, or they head out with kin or friends in normal clothes as they end up a band that has to fight for their, and ultimately everyone else's, survival.

a group of kids is criminally under used for adventures

Why resist?

What I'd do is make the PCs a group of mentors and have "seduction" a meter like the call of cthulhu - if any of them accidentally get too close and seduce her it's a bad end because the Hero of Destiny must be a virgin pure.

Make her a bitch.

How do you get a dominated by a little girl? She's little AND a girl and you're a big man. I don't get it.

They have one major advantage; they aren't Japan.

>traumatized loli/shota adventures
I'd play it

This. It's a good enough concept for a videogame, and could be played off as charming and slightly cutesy instead of creepy, but it'd be horrible to have one destined hero that isn't even one of the PCs. That's just DMPC'ing and possibly magical realm, and I'm there to make my story, not listen to the GM's.

But the little girl is also a big goddamn hero by level 8 or so.

Don't let faggots in to your group, quickly oust any faggots who try to sneak in.

Just give her he McGuffin and point her at the bad guy.

If she's not destined to win, give her a training montage first. Training matters!

>>traumatized loli/shota adventures
The thing with children is that they are flexible, I mean mentally. If exposed to horrors from early age they can get used to it better than a person who had normal childhood and only faced the horrors at the adult age.
Also most inhibitions and moral limits are something we're taught rather than innate thing we're born with. Child does not need to develop them.

Obviously it's not without downsides, such children would have serious problem later readjusting to normal life, but that's not really expected of adventurers anyway...

"I specifically asked for the opposite of this."

V Gundam is just Tomino working out his numerous issues more than anything else.

Turn A is what you get AFTER he's finally worked through them. He still insists that BrainPowererd was his best show though. For some reason.

hahaha
you're funny
some things just don't go away, they happen and you aren't able to adapt and it fucks with you from then on

That sounds adorable as fuck user. clerics casting cure booboo, wizards casting magic kickball, barbarians entering destructive temper tantrums. That would be a cute session.

Assuming its wonder loli fighting, and not some random 10 year old girl, you let it happen.

Well, yes, children adapt better, that doesn't mean they always adapt perfectly. Some things can haunt them still.

I can't believe the janitor deleted my posts and reported me. It was censored and everything just for blue boards.

Veeky Forums is weird these days. I was warned for ban evading last night too despite not ban evading.

It's possible you got caught up in all the wierd /qst/ shit going on.

>tfw you will never be an adventurer
>you would never be able to deal with the horrors you would face or do

Nah, they've been really finicky lately. I'm probably going to get banned despite my innocence, it wouldn't be the first time.

Maybe it's new janitors that haven't mellowed out yet?

>in the final confrontation the kids go full murderhobos on the antagonist
>attacking him
>dismembering him
>torturing him
>all while laughing, keeping him alive to suffer all the suffering that they had to go through

good way to end the campaign

Not as well as you seem to think.

...

Both hero and evil are unprepared and have to come to terms with destiny. The ancient evil is reincarnated into a 10 year old boy, raised by the Wizman.

WHAT DOES MARCELLUS WALLACE LOOK LIKE?

By not basing the character on this creepy picture you posted.

That's not how you get ahead in life, user.

send the child back in time another ten years or so and have them train their ass off.

How is it creepy?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

GIT YER SOARD

The party is sent by said ancient evil to eliminate the chosen one while she is still young.
Then go full Home Alone mode.

She wanted that batdick so fucking bad and he was so not into her, I loved that show

>Implying they won't adopt her and try to raise her to be a morally ambiguous mercenary
>Implying her innate naive goodness won't convert the entire party

>Implying she was the only one

The fact you immediately needed to ask this question means that you're going to make it creepy.

If, like most heroes of destiny, she's an orphan or has deadbeat–I'm sorry, "mysterious"–parents, this sounds to me like

>Four lovable misfits find out fighting monsters is a piece of cake compared to raising a kid.

Probably an adventure with some comedy and nice moments about the screw-ups you usually find in an adventuring party growing into the kind of people that help the destined heroine achieve her destiny.

Goddamnit, I read this in Danny DeVito's voice.

I'm gonna do it my best to not make it creepy. We vote on campaign ideas, and this is one of 4 I have ready.

Her older brother has an attitude problem and never died on that battlefield.

This sounds amazing. Damn.

>da GAAAAAAMES

>How do you prevent a campaign with this premise from getting creepy?
Kick all the pedos out of your group.

There's nothing inherently creepy about this premise. The destined hero(es) are nearly a decade younger than when they were "intended" to be when fighting the ancient evil. Heroes must either figure out a way to fight it anyways, must work together with others to become their destiny, or must come up with some idea other than fighting that will fix things. It could be a very interesting campaign, either from the angle of children trying to deal with situations well out of their class or a party trying to support some person of destiny who is unusually weak and naive.

I'm not really sure why it would be creepy, unless the players at the table are all 16 and insist on sexually flirting with every PC and NPC they come across.

>everyone plays 8-12 year old kids out to save the kingdom after an evil Wizard put all the adults to sleep or some shit.
Fantasy Bliss Stage. This is almost exactly Fantasy Bliss Stage. But less weird.

Because an emotionally immature teenager makes such a great hero.

The Hero of Destiny's aunts and uncles (honorary or by blood) say fuck that noise and get shit done.

...

But it will get you ahead in navigating.

They kiss. He totally wanted her too, he was just brooding and trying to be totally professional.

They're all completely normal farmers. No Juese Belmonts hanging around.

If you're posting pictures like that then they'll probably think you're creepy no matter what.

Why contain it?

Simple, you don't fuck her TOO roughly.

>The thing with children is that they are flexible, I mean mentally.

Starting with that this post is pretty sexy.

That didn't look creepy at all, real girls dress in much less nowadays. Now if you want creepy I can oblige you.

I read this in the voice of "ROB SCHNEIDER IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT HE'S... A CARROT"

You can use fireworks to create creepy ass patterns. And don't get me started on crossbows.

...

>10 year old protagonists
>How do you prevent a campaign with this premise from getting creepy?
The fact you need to ask this question raises some disturbing implications

Yes, I know that Brock was 15 in the anime. Ash and Misty were both 10, so get rekt.

wait 8 years

why would it be creepy? link isn't much older in windwaker...just don't MAKE it creepy(why would you?)

(i mean most things like this gloss over the child soldier thing...were you planning not to? did you make me weird by reading something sexual into your question when you only were talking about inflicting the horrors of a dungeon crawl on a child?)

>did you make me weird by reading something sexual into your question when you only were talking about inflicting the horrors of a dungeon crawl on a child?

Stick around this site long enough, it'll make you weird.

God, that's the best story.

Honestly, "my character is a little elf boy who wears a skirt and tall boots" is sort of a weird element.

I loved the bit where she figured out his identity.
At the beginning of the episode Diana Prince dances a bit with Bruce Wayne at a ritzy gala, but the number's interrupted by villainy.
After they take down the big bad, Wonder Woman turns to Bats and says, "You know, we never did get to finish that dance."
He's shocked for the briefest moment before he says, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Fucking perfect.

>a meddling wizman unseals the ancient evil a decade early
>the hero of destiny is a 10 year old girl
isn't that a pretty standard plot

like, unless you described her wearing an outfit similar to the Etrian Odyssey dancer (read: hilariously skimpy bikini), it really shouldn't get creepy, not unless your players are all lolicons
shit, even if they are, I don't see it getting too weird other than a couple of joking h-doujin references OOC (at least, this is probably how it'd go with my own friends), in-character would be handled pretty reasonably

nothing wrong with being a pedo, hater.

yes, and considering how creepy Pokemon always was means you're only validating his question by mentioning it.

Loving children is not creepy, is beautiful.

You don't actually know what a skirt is, do you?
He wears a tunic that comes down to mid thighs, literally a long shirt.
Then he has tights on under that. If that's still too sexual for you, then imagine him in light-green skinny-fit jeans.
Still too sexual, then you have some issues you need to address.

With demiplanes that will age them to 30 in a day of real time.

If you're looking for grimdark, don't even make it about the child. Make it a series of campaigns about several different groups trying to slow down the great evil force long enough for the kid to grow up into a warrior able to stop it. The players don't even meet the kid until the final campaign, and by then, at least two dozen of their characters have died, painfully and unremembered.

>Let's play spot the pedophile.

sauce on the gif?

>*cough* Black Company *cough*

Hataraku Maou-sama, also known as Satan works part time.

Satan gets defeated and banished from his kingdom to earth, where he makes due working at McDonalds.

>You don't actually know what a skirt is

In all seriousness, I know he is not wearing a skirt, if you want to quibble you may as well also point out that he is not an elf. Either way its still a very odd garment for a guy to wear by modern standards.

>Then he has tights on under that.

In some instances, he has tights, in others, he distinctly does not (or they're the same as his skin tone). I seem to recall one game in which you see him as a child and as an adult, and as a child he lacks the tights, while as an adult he has white tights.

>too sexual

Finding something weird, and finding it sexual, are two different things.

Wow can't believe I didn't recognize where this was from.

Great show, and in particular because its nice to watch an animu where the protagonist isn't a quivering ball of self doubt.

Shame it's season 2 never despite having great sales and tons more source material.
