[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3849381, member: 20194"] It's come to my attention over on the Paizo boards that they're trying to make the term 'Adventure Path' a registered trademark. Their staff is trying to prevent all publishers and even consumers from using it to describe non Paizo products. In this thread: [url]http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/4thEdition/40PAIZOISSTILLUNDECIDED&page=4#307086[/url] Erik Mona talks about how publisher support of 4th edition may kill the 3.5 OGL. He thens goes on to say that 3.5 preserves all of the "sacred cows" and praises the fact that it can't be revoked. It seems ironic that their entire business model is based on material that WotC opened up for them and now they're taking something they developed for Dungeon and keeping it to themselves. I ask Paizo that at the bare minimum to please give back to the open gaming community what they've founded their business on. Please give us the term "Adventure Path". It's a "sacred cow" to me, as a gamer. Shackled City, Age of Worms and Savage Tide are just as much "Dungeon" as they are "Paizo". I want to see future Dungeon Adventure Paths, as well as other Adventure Paths from third party publishers. [/QUOTE]
