Rakasta, Catfolk and Tabaxi Resources from Mystara and Non-Mystara material

by Håvard

Similar to my Tortle Reading List, I am curious to what sources we can use to expand on ideas related to the Rakasta. I also think we should include sources related to Catfolk and Tabaxi even though Tabaxi (Jaguar Men or Leopard Men) were portrayed somewhat differently in early editions. I lean towards not including info on Rakshasa since they are demonic creatures with few connections to Mystara, but I suppose we could discuss that. I would also be interested in sources on the Godess Bast (Bastet).
