[QUOTE="kenada, post: 9420631, member: 70468"] There are two issues. The first is the Community Use Policy, which is no longer available. Its replacement does not work with OGL content, and the platform where you should publish will also not be available to OGL content. If you were trying to keep PF1 or SF1 alive, doing conversions, etc; you have to strip the setting-specific material out of your work. There’s also an impact on website and tools, but it seems like they’re addressing it. The other issue is the terms of Pathfinder Infinite preclude using any ORC-licensed content. The [URL='https://downloads.paizo.com/ORC_AxE_FINAL.pdf']ORC AxE[/URL] tries to claim that it creating a new license was necessary because a “virtuous cycle” is needed to evolve the game, and CC BY was too permissive to create that cycle, but Pathfinder Infinite breaks it. If you want to use setting material, you have to publish on Pathfinder Infinite, but if you also want to use ORC-licensed content (monsters, etc), you [I]can’t[/I]. It remains to be seen whether the ORC ecosystem or the Pathfinder Infinite ecosystem will win out, though I doubt there will be many games using PF2 as a base (because the terms of the 5.1 SRD are much better for those wanting to make their own game and retain control over it).
