I've just unlaunched my Patreon page for good. To celebrate the good time I spent with it I'll share the public domain images I curated and trimmed with you all, for free! Each folder has at least 30 images. Check out below and have fun creating new zines.
CREATIVE COMMONS = BLOODY AWESOME #TTRPG ZINES
A Thread
So you want to make cool RPG Zines and have just discovered you can use paintings and illustrations under creative commons CC/public domain PD license. This are some advices around this kinda tricky thing. Here we go.
1. The laws around CC/PD are kinda tricky. There are a lot of different laws depending on which country the art was first made. BUT... most of countries understand that after 70 years of the artist's death, his art is now under public domain.
Gone before 1948? Great chances.
2. Not everything you see in the internet as Public Domain it is Public Domain in fact. You have to be careful and remember (1). Sites like archive.org have a lot of this already-not-yet files. Flickr as well. Be careful, do your research and have fun.
