327. The Cryptid Kids # 1: Guilds & Goblins Returns!

Author: Eric O'Keeffe / Starglow Media September 9, 2024 Duration: 30:21
A new G&G campaign begins! Can a Doodlknight, a Pasta Chef, and a young Ocean Dragon solve the mystery of the haunted golf course? Lessons include: Grownups can be slow learners; cities need more parks and fewer golf courses. This story is the first part of a new Guilds & Goblins campaign, where What If World characters (and guests) play an original tabletop RPG for kids and families. The real-life dice rolls help us tell the story, along with your What-If questions! This is a great place to start if you’ve never heard a G&G story. Campaign Two includes G&G 23 to G&G 33, or episodes  294-296, 302-304, 307, 310-311, and 315-316. Campaign One includes G&G 1 to G&G 22, or episodes 176, 181-182, 191-193, 199-199 ½, 214-217, 243-245, 263, 270-271, and 275-279. Share questions & submissions with a grownup's help via Patreon, email: whatifworldpodcast@gmail.com, voicemail: 205-605-WHAT (9428), Instagram: @whatifworldpodcast, or snail mail: What If World (or Mr. Eric) P.O. Box 4905 Panorama City, CA 91412 Eric and Karen O'Keeffe make What If World. Ana Stretcu created our character art, and our episode art is by our producer, Lynn Hickernell. Jason O’Keefe created our podcast art, and Craig Martinson wrote our theme song.

Curiosity begins with a simple question, and What If World-Stories for Kids turns those questions into delightful, original adventures. Hosted by Mr. Eric, this podcast spins the wild and wonderful "what if" ideas sent in by young listeners into full-length audio stories. Each episode is a journey into a uniquely crafted universe where anything is possible, blending gentle comedy with heartfelt moments that families can enjoy together. The magic lies in its collaborative spirit-the stories are directly inspired by the imaginative queries of children, making every narrative a surprise. Parents and caregivers are invited to submit their own child's puzzling or playful scenario, which might just become the spark for the next tale. Through these engaging fictions, the show naturally encourages creative thinking and a resilient, problem-solving spirit. Tuning in means entering a space where a question about dinosaurs eating pizza or a cloud made of jelly can unfold into a memorable, character-driven plot. It’s more than just a story time podcast; it’s an interactive celebration of a child’s perspective, lovingly produced by Eric O'Keeffe and Starglow Media. The result is a consistently charming and funny listen that respects the intelligence and wonder of its young audience, one "what if" at a time.
