[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8601363, member: 42040"] I'm linking this blog post from the Paizo site that's getting nothing but positive feedback from the Paizo fans, but I think there's some real criticism to be made. The previous way we would access content on Foundry would be to legally purchase the PDF from Paizo, and a fan-made module would upload maps with dynamic lighting, journal entries, art, NPC and monster stats, etc. Now the marketing team at Paizo is putting a spin on it that this module is no longer going to be supported and that you'll have to purchase premium digital assets from Paizo to do what you used to get for free with the purchase of a PDF. It seems to add no extra value, and customers will have to re-purchase things they have already bought to use with the PDF Importer. This is anti-fan and probably a start of things to come as can begin shutting down other PF2 fan content (Archives of Nethys, Pathbuilder, etc.) to encourage other digital subscriptions (Nexus?)
