Free Medieval Prints???

Post by Joe »

Hi,

I am working on a game project of my own.

I have very little money and a whole lot of intention to make a product I can actually market.

With my nonexistent budget to pay contributors I was wondering if it is possible to use old medieval prints as art work in my game.

Some of the art in Gygax's Nation Builder leads me to beleive it may be possible to illustrate a book without spending a fortune.

Can anyone clue me in to the hows and where I can obtain such artwork?

Chris Clark of Inner City Games might be able to help you on that. I know he's done similar things with his products. Then, again, I'm sure Peter might have some good ideas too!!

Doing a quick google search for the keywords 'public domain medieval' turned up a few results. This one has a bunch:
