We live in a world full of gods and monsters: spirits, creatures, Paradox entities, Avatar aspects, vampires, beast-folk, godheads, primordial legends, and other creatures too strange for the average mind to conceive. On this episode, Adam Simpson and Terry Robinson talk with the authors who brought these entities to life in Gods & Monsters, the latest supplement for Mage 20 from Onyx Path Publishing. The authors share their experience researching, selecting, and writing about the entities in this compendium.
