History & Background (Dossier)
The Traveller RPG Wiki is still building an image library that covers but a small percent of what is available from Traveller's nearly 2,000 publications.
- The #1 rule is to make sure that the image owner and/or creator has given consent to the image being uploaded here. Please directly ask the image owner / creator and keep a written or electronic record of the permission being given. You may be asked to provide that proof of permission. Be on the right side of copyright.
- The wiki has permission from FFE and several other publishers to use their images in a non-profit way subject to the images being taken down upon request.
- Still, you should ask before you upload an image. A wiki moderator may be able to help you with this.
- Many artists have been generous to share their images with the wiki and it's customary to include a hyperlink back to the artist's site and to refer potential business to an artist if they are ok with that. Just ask.
Fan Art Submissions
The wiki welcomes fan art and will accept most image donations. Images must be family friendly and avoid overly sexual themes. Just contact a moderator if you have any questions.
