Pathfinder Deity token request

I purchase a LOT of tokens on here because people many of the sets are of such high quality. One request I would like to make is for someone to create the dieties of pathfinder such as Sarenrae, Iomedea, and the other more popular ones. Is that posible or is there a copyright issue maybe?

Copyright would prevent that, sadly. Devin Night had a few up on his site that he was giving away for free though - perhaps check there? And thanks for supporting the Marketplace! :)

There's also the option to contact your favorite publishers (who hold those copyrights) to let them know you like using Roll20 and would love to see some of their content here. :)
Would it be ok to create like, say, a token called "flaming hair angel deity" or "female crusader paladin deity" as long as no art was stolen?

Copyright can be a tricky beast, but ultimately the responsibility lies with the content creators, and we're the ones who'll get our butts sued if we mess up. I can easily see how one could create a red-flame-haired angel (I married one) token without infringing on copyright, but if it's specifically meant to be Sarenrae, or it has one glowing hand and a scimitar in the other? Yeah, infringement. Paizo aren't awful about it by any stretch of the imagination. In fact they''ve gone to the lengths of offering up ways to use specific content outlined here: <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/about/communityuse" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/paizo/about/communityuse</a> So if the requisite deity is on this product list: <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/about/communityuse/products" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/paizo/about/communityuse/products</a> A token-smith can absolutely whip you up a picture. They just can't charge you money for it. And that's actually pretty fair I think - I didn't invent any of these fantasy creations so making money from them is understandably unfair. If you know a particular content creator that you'd love to see do these, why not contact them through Roll20 and ask if that's something they'd be willing to do? Bear in mind though that you're basically asking them to work for free, so if they decline, it's pretty understandable. But what have you got to lose? :) Better yet, as Sarah says, contact Paizo. Tell them you love their games and you love Roll20 and see if something can't be made to work between the two in terms of licensing a product. You could even tell Paizo about an artist who you think would whip up some top class tokens and put all their pieces of the puzzle together - that way everyone wins. Good luck!
