Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Okay, this sounds fun... Let's give this a go 😎

For sure! I think that tracks because the 70s-80s were more the era of the straight-laced space opera, while the 90s were "space opera but now we're getting wild with it"

To me Galaxy Legend Stalwart sounds the most like "niche 80s mech anime you read about on a Wiki but it only came out on limited laserdisc release so you've never actually seen it" but Grand Space Ishmael is the most evocative, like "What does that mean? Who is Ishmael? I want to know more..."

(This is particularly notable because back in my school days I became so fixated on playing Minesweeper to unwind that it became kind of a joke, and even back then I never got my head into the right mode to successfully clear the game that way... Not sure what finally shifted after so many years!)

In an achievement that is probably only exciting to me, for the first time in my entire life I just managed to clear an Expert level Minesweeper board without clearing any of the bombs

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Humaning.

I hated the show Caillou as a kid, but my sister liked it. The one and only day that I decided to be gracious and let her know that Caillou was about to start was September 11th, 2001, and if you can believe it, they weren't showing Caillou that morning.

Oh but hey, the years following brought us [checks notes] freedom fries 😒

Letting human translators to review AI translations is quite ridiculous. It’s like asking professional people for repairing a broken stolen car when they have enough skill to make new cars legally.
