Since we've all been talking about fonts and free stuff, I thought that making a 🧵for free resources (or super cheap) that we can use on our #ttrpg creation, would be awesome.
Basically images, illustrations, vectors, fonts 1/25

Unsplash is awesome if you like high-quality photos for free. unsplash.com
Pixabay is a little messier and less curated, but it has photos, illustrations, and vectors categories. pixabay.com

One of my favorites to look for images for inspiration is the Public Domain Review, they have a huge catalog, the make collections and essays, and it's super interesting 3/
publicdomainreview.org/explore

Wikimedia Commons has a huge collection of images, sounds and videos to use, a lot of inspiration can come from there 4/ commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Many museums have a huge archives, too, I particularly enjoy the Rijksmuseum, from the Netherlands. You can ask for free for the TIFF version of a work and they'll send it to you 5/ rijksmuseum.nl/en/research/im…

Flickr Commons is a group effort to put into motion a collection of public domain images as well 6/

A gorgeous collection of Natural History items, the Peabody Museum 14/ collections.peabody.yale.edu/search/

Another favorite of mine: The Internet Archive Book Images. Scans for amazing books with all kinds of themes and styles. 16/ flickr.com/photos/interne…

Wellcome Collection is a collection of health-related material, make sure to mark when searching that you want "public domain" images 17/ wellcomecollection.org/collections

Keeping in mind the use that maps have in colonization, a good resource is the David Rumsey Map Collection has some unique maps that would look cool to vandalize on some layout lol 18/ davidrumsey.com

Another of my favorites: The Project Apollo Archive, dope pics from NASA, free to use 19/ flickr.com/photos/project…

Now, moving to other visual resources, png and vectors. Free SVG has many useful material.

Heritage Library has around 240 (small) collections of illustrations that are for free (if you subscribe to their mailing list, you get a package of textures, illustrations and something else for free) 22/ heritagetype.com/pages/free-vin…

For fonts, make sure when you download them to check their README for their exact license, but this is a good selection of pages 23/
