Pathfinder 1E An SRD for Pathfinder?

[Achan hiArusa]

My assumption is that the vast majority of it will still be valid. I will already have the structure in place and then in August all I have to do is copy and paste out the Beta wordings and replace with the Final wordings. I highly doubt I'll have to change things like what attributes there are etc. At least this way 90% of the work will be done I'm thinking.

Yeah, I had thought of that just before I read the post.

You cannot reproduce art. Its a violation of PI and you need permission from Paizo to do so. I would highly recommend you taking out the art to avoid trouble.

You sound extremely certain of your statement. Are you? Are you aware of this? paizo.com - Community Use Package: Iconics
Paizo has made the images of their iconics available in a "community use" package. I am under the impression (perhaps incorrectly?) that community use = usable by the community, especially in a part of the community that is not a commercial interest. Am I mistaken?

And to be clear, I *have* already read the community use requirements and *believe* I am following the requirements.

"To use Paizo Material under this Policy you must include the following notice in plainly legible and accessible form in each product or on each website that uses any Paizo Material:

"This [website, character sheet, or whatever it is] uses trademarks and/or copyrights owned by Paizo Publishing, LLC, which are used under Paizo's Community Use Policy. We are expressly prohibited from charging you to use or access this content. This [website, character sheet, or whatever it is] is not published, endorsed, or specifically approved by Paizo Publishing. For more information about Paizo's Community Use Policy, please visit paizo.com/communityuse. For more information about Paizo Publishing and Paizo products, please visit paizo.com."

See the Community Use page at my site.

"By using content under this Policy, you agree to not use any material in a way that suggests Paizo endorses or is in any way responsible for anything you create, or that suggests that you have any other relationship with Paizo, unless we have a separate written agreement that lets you do so. You agree not use Paizo's trade dress—that is, you may not make your material look like ours. You agree that such use could irreparably harm Paizo."

I do not believe I have indicated any form of relationship or that Paizo endorses or is responsible for anything I have created.

"You agree to use your best efforts to preserve the high standard of our intellectual property. You agree to present Paizo, our products, and the Paizo Material in a generally positive light. You agree to not use this permission for material that the general public would classify as "adult content," offensive, or inappropriate for minors, and you agree that such use would irreparably harm Paizo. You agree not do anything illegal in or with products or websites produced under this Policy."

I believe I am good here.

"You agree to create an account on paizo.com and add an entry describing your material on our Community Use Registry at paizo.com/communityuse/registry, with links where appropriate. You agree to endeavor to keep this information up-to-date."

I did that weeks ago. I had already created an account months ago for a different project. You can see my entries for both if you look there.

"You may use the contents of the Community Use Package at paizo.com/communityuse/package. You may use only those versions of the Paizo Materials from the Community Use Package. You may not alter the color, typography, design, or proportions of the logos or icons, or otherwise modify them."

I have not edited the pictures in any way and I have only used pictures from the community use package.

"You may use the cover images, as displayed on paizo.com, of all of the products on our Community Use Approved Product List at paizo.com/communityuse/products. Product covers may not be cropped, color adjusted, edited, distorted, or modified."

I have used some cover images on the main page in links directing to purchase the real product from Paizo.com. I do not believe this is a violation. I did not crop, color adjust, edit, distort, or modify any of the images.

"You may use any of the text or artwork published in the Paizo Blog at paizo.com/paizo/blog, with the exception of any excerpts of Planet Stories publications and any logos and icons that aren't also in the Community Use Package. You may not use any photographs published in the blog (because those rights are usually not ours to offer). You may not use artwork, including maps, that have not been published in the blog, although you may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps, provided that your interpretations don't look substantially similar to our materials."

I had planned to use many of the images from the Paizo blog but just haven't gotten around to it yet. You can expect to see some of those images dressing up the place soon

In short, I have done the research and believe I am good. If you still believe otherwise please help me understand where I am mistaken.
