D&D General Roll20 useing art as tokens

[GMforPowergamers]

So many of us have taken to online gaming (I use roll20) and with that the idea of stealing art from the internet has seemed easier then trying to make a 100% description from nothing.

What are YOU using for art for your online games? and Do you credit the original artists (if you can even find them)

 

[Mort]

For my home game, which is not recorded in any way?

I'll use whatever art I feel is appropriate to the situation, that I can find.

There is SO much out there that a quick google search will usually find just about anything. Heck a short time ago I needed a picture of a demon mutated troll. And it was right there, easy to find.

I'll credit and use my own stuff whenever possible, but for just flashing a picture on a screen for bit, I'll use what I can find!

Same as Mort - a quick Google search, a little modification with Gimp or other software, and into the VT it goes. Lately, screenshots of miniatures created in Heroforge and cropped for tokens. Personal game, so I don't bother to credit, unless it has other content that my players may be interested in visiting (such as the aforementioned Heroforge).

I play with artists who would darn well notice and be mad if they thought I was stealing art because they wouldn't want that to happen to them, so no. I use official art or I credit or I've even commissioned things. If I like an artist enough to use their work regularly, I throw them a few bucks on patreon.
