[As noted elsewhere](/linklists/pd_comics.html), my total inability to draw has often hindered my creative processes, forcing me to rely on overlong text descriptions or poorly-drawn sketches. While researching other possible graphic sources, I came across several sites brimming with resources for game developers like myself, who wish to use <abbr title="Creative Commons">CC</abbr> and <abbr title="Public Domain">PD</abbr> art to make new games.

I've been an <abbr title="Role-Playing Game">RPG</abbr> enthusiast for 30+ years, and after a long hiatus, I've been lucky enough to spend the past few years playing (and running) regular games.
