One of the changes we made for the next core book reprint (the 3rd printing and the 1st by Posthuman Studios independently) was to replace the few pieces of artwork that were not licensed under the Creative Commons license. The new reprint will be entirely CC-licensed.
Here's a first preview of one of the replacement pieces: a creepy Pandora gate, illustrated by Zachary Graves. Click for a bigger version.
