BBEG Ideas and their lame irl inspiration

No thank you.

As if a classic story arc isn't fun every now and then, especially if you're introducing new players

I like the idea of a lich stealing abused kids or orphans and setting them on the path of magic (or to be his apprentices). Its all ok when hes grabbing the peasants kid, BUT! Instant plot hook when he takes the kid of a noble. Adventure ensues.

No, it's the phrase "big bad evil guy" that I take issue with.

Especially since the emotionally damaged kids are more likely to take his side once he gives them anything they want and fills their head with ideas of power

That's fair, I guess from the players' standpoint though, BBEG just means a person with goals you oppose and you both fight to achieve something different

He doesn't have to even look like a stereotypical lich! He could go about in soft forest green robes and where a big wooden mask like some kind of elder forest spirit, like some kind of tall Skull-Kid 2.0. Im imaging slender man from the original pics just hanging out with the kids. Oh man, how spooky would it be if tons of the young kids know about him, he just kind of comes out to the edge of the deep dark woods to talk with them. And of course none of the adults believe it until the first couple kids go missing.
