Inspirations/Resources
People have created supernatural spirits in an enormous variety of forms and temperaments over the millennia. I’m always inspired by their creations as they deal with these spirits, and I’ve created many of my own. Tricksters are some of my favorite spirits. They’re playful, smart, and sneaky. They take huge pleasure in defying convention. They take many forms, from gods and goddesses to Brer Rabbit.
