I got a Reply about using their content in the format presented on that site:

international QUOTE (Paizo)
Sites like that extract and reformat text themselves, taking it either from our PRD or from the PDFs we sell-those are the only formats in which we provide it.


It seems that doing so is legit. I would take it that if you wanted to speed things up you could possibly extract the vital parts to creating a Pathfinder Character to quicken the pace.

In a follow on Email where I directly asked them about copying their Pathfinder related text this was the reply:

international QUOTE (JB)
Thanks for your reply, so then you are saying that extracting text from your PDFs is permitted?


Their Reply:

international QUOTE (Vic at Paizo Publishing)
Yes, so long as the text we're talking about is Open Game Content and not Product Identity.


Does that give you any head room for establishing actual gaming text without having to send Players to look at pages only to become lost?

It seems that, using the example of this post Source 5, the names of Deities fall under both the Product Identity as well as the Community Use Policy. Since this site isn't commercial, I should be able to refer to the names and give summaries to my players. Also, the main game will not be interrupted with links.

Is the issue with links that people become lost? Or does it sap your hosting resources?

Different links for different things can be confusing. What will be nice is a summary page that could have all the needed information to compile a Character. (The Dungeons & Dragons Generator we have does this well because it explains things as the Character is being created.) Then if they wanted to delve deeper they can always take up the Pathfinder Resources.

In other words, and for example, the summary you made of deities is better than having to go search through a site to read detailed explanations on each, information that the Player may never really use. I can foresee a Player approaching you to play Pathfinder and then you have to rehash the links they need to visit each time. If and only if you have the time it will probably be good to compile something I can place on one page in the Pathfinder section of WorldOfMedieval.com.

It should be in this format using (Step 1, Step 2, etc.):

Religion: You Character needs to worship a deity, the following is a summary of deities in Pathfinder:
[Name] - [4-5 words description]

Then you will have only one page to reference to create a Character. On that page can also be shared info for the PDFs for further learning, etc.

Review RPG Pathfinder Adventure Kingmaker Icons

Icon, I agree with JB. I feel you might be able to better attract other players if the information needed for your game was easier to find. The Pathfinder site can be very confusing and hard to navigate. I was very hesitant in wanting to play in your Role-playing Game because of that. I do however have to say that you have been very helpful with finding the correct link to the correct information needed. If you could perhaps (If copy and paste is allowed from that site) put your information needed into your settings thread? And as for character makeup perhaps put basic information in your character thread? You're the GM and that's all up to you, but from my perspective as an interested player it would be easier for all involved. (Except perhaps extra work for you!)

I have to say that after getting threw all the information and getting my character made I really like the [Pathfinder] game. I had never heard of it until I seen your game. You should be a writer if your aren't already one. I like how you tell a story and describe the surroundings, you don't go over board and keep the game moving, very imaginative, you reek of intelligence. Love it so far thank you.

Icon's Kingmaker Adventure Pathfinder RPG Review - Page 4

Thanks, Canabusis, your enjoyment and this comment mean a lot to me. I find that play by post gives me time to error check, rule check and consider my words carefully. At my offline game I'm only about a quarter as good as this, but the players progress their characters faster, so there is a trade-off. As for the skills I employ, I'm just applying what I learnt in primary and high schools, my life is heading in a completely different direction. Lastly, I prefer to think of intelligence as a more of a scent. biggrin.gif

Yes, this is happening as I predicted it is evident here: 416719. For you, this is being helpful, for us it is setting a precedent of members being able to add many links to their Post.

You have two options:


A. Please follow through with what I suggested prior to this Post, having ONE place where all that is needed to create a Character is evident and in ONE page and not 3-4 different places linking to different things every time someone creates a Character. Even better, on this same page you have:

Step 1, Step 2, etc.

B. I have a 2010 version of the d20pfsrd from their downloads section which I can upload with just the related content that is from Pathfinder. However, this is with the aim of using ONE place and not linking to many sites just to play an RPG.

The aim here is to remove the trend while providing information to actually Play the game and not drift into many sites.
