We’ll meet Alabama Hera, the Cyclops Gum Slinger (yes, GUM!), and Malodor, the Crab-Shark Smelladin. Can they use the powers of bubble gum and smelly stuff to save the day? Lessons include: There’s usually a way to simplify a game so that everyone can play; de-escalating can help keep yourself and others safe This story is part of the Guilds & Goblins miniseries, where What If World characters (and guests) play an original tabletop RPG for kids and families.
