Children NPCs, yay or nay?

@Roz There’s also the idea of a setting that focuses on children as the main character. That can be acceptable as long as the content isn’t horrible. Examples would be things like Kids on Bikes or Tales from the Loop. Both focus on kids as PCs, but in both cases they’re very Goonies / Stranger Things adjacent, so the worst thing that happens to the kids is minor injuries or getting chased by a robot bent on rewriting history.
There is something very offputting to me about adults whose escapist fantasies revolve around teenage/childhood glory days, so personally this is actually the scenario I would be least comfortable with on this thread so far.

i’d say that’s a whole different topic. that’s children as PCs, not children as NPCs.
