What If World - Stories for Kids

• 342. Cryptid Kids #6: In a Pinch

  The Million-Hand-Headed-Hydra is pinching away the Observatorium, and even parts of What If World. It's time for the Cryptid Kids to call in some backup! Lessons include: failure is part of every big challenge; mistakes provide information that can lead us to new ideas. This story is part of a Guilds & Goblins campaign, where What If World characters (and guests) play an original tabletop RPG for kids and families. Real-life dice rolls, usually with a 20-sided die (or d20), help us tell the story, along with your questions! Start with episodes 327, 328, 330, 331, & 341, Cryptid Kids #1 to #5, if you’ve never heard a G&G story.   Here are our four favorite would-you-rather questions. Ask your players these questions before playing G&G, and you’ll know what surprises will please them. For younger kids, ask one question per game. For older kids, ask follow-up questions to help you generate ideas! After every four or five games, ask again and customize the questions or change their order to suit your players better. Would you rather: Explore strange places or meet funny characters? Find a rare treasure or learn a new power? Solve tricky puzzles or face spooky creatures? Train your sidekick or build an invention?
