Copyrighting your work doesn't cost anything and is easy to do. You just need to include text like it like this inside your book:

Trademarking is a different matter and does cost money. To be honest, I haven't looked into it – copyright should be enough to make it clear that the book is your intellectual property, and should not be reproduced without permission.

Yeah, I was apparently looking at something different. I've been enjoying your design diary quite a bit as well. Thanks for the response!

(And, of course, that post is just a very brief overview of the way IP rights operate - it is worth getting some legal advice if you want to be certain that your creative works are as protected as you want. )

Could you update it to Pathfinder, maybe?

Writing and publishing a book as large as Parsantium is a big task, but no reason why you couldn't start small with a short PDF product. Good luck!

The finished first draft, with no art, is about 60 pages. I am thinking about converting it, maybe even to multiple versions like PF and 5E, but I am not up on those rules, so I would need an editor who can help do that. By that time that gets done, with my luck, WOTC will announce an upcoming 6E ruleset...
