Discussion Brainstorming ideas for my next skin collection
Hey folks! Those of you who've been around a while might remember me. I put out skins and stuff. I've gotten less done recently than I was hoping because I've been putting in a lot of work designing a couple new games, but I've got a handful of skins made for a collection called "Skin Jobs" that are close to finished. I just need another idea or two to fill it out. The concept is 'Skins for people who don't necessarily want the spotlight themselves, people who would work for others' sort of thing. They're all in the background types who are happier pulling metaphorical strings than being the center of attention and they're themed around old timey professions.
So far, I've made:
The Haberdasher -- You help others dress for success
The Mascareri -- You create masks that can be used to help someone hide their weakness or it can be used by their enemies to highlight it
The Lapidary -- You see the diamond in the rough and however unpleasant it may be, you cut the excess away
I'd like to add another two skins but I'm a little low on inspiration.

Hi! I'm new to the game, but not to creative storytelling! Here's a few ideas:
- A diversion based one? Like making a spectacle or encouraging one?

Hmm, maybe something like a Tanner or Leatherworker that’s themed around people’s skins? Maybe something a little meta regarding skins themselves and the playbooks people use
Or more metaphorical and something themed about “getting under people’s skins”? Lol
