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 🔗👇

It is terrible that something like this happened to Bona Books (and is the fear of every small press and magazine) but they’ve been so robust and generous in sharing their insights, the report is well worth reading
Bona Books 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🤘🏼@bonabooks.bsky.social · 4w agoAI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:
Really, I treasure the process my story went through with khōréō. My editor Kanika and I had such careful, engaged conversations about its thorns, and the entire audio team did such a great job bringing it to life. They have eight days left and around $6,000 to their goal. That is so doable! 😤🗣️🙏🏾💜

If you have the means, please contribute to khōréō's Kickstarter for their seventh year. I have been a reader for years, and was lucky enough to publish with them last year—they've cultivated a rigorous, thoughtful platform for people who are rarely represented well. Please support their work!

khōréō was my first ever sale, and I'm forever grateful to the team! it's so important to have a magazine that focuses on uplifting diaspora stories--on publishing them, but also on editing them with a sensitivity & thoughtfulness that honors those perspectives some of my fav khōréō stories below:
