Hey everyone, thanks for the great discussion on this.

I've since modified the supplement I'm working on to be completely OGL compliant and with the exception of some artwork that I have permission to use but don't own, and the name of the world I'm creating, everything is open.

As someone just getting started out in publishing Pathfinder compatible supplements both for free and for sale, I learned a ton from this conversation and all of the links people referenced, as well as from re-reading the actual OGL itself.

I do have a few products out there on DriveThruRPG that are compliant but not fully open. I'll be updating them as I have the time.

Noble Knight has one in stock. Larry doesn't list them in his web store any longer, though.

Ahhh....wasn't exactly what I had been picturing. Thanks for making the trouble to at least pointing it out to me. :D

@Ben: I'm glad you appreciate the spirit with which I initiated this conversation. Further, thanks for supporting the Open Gaming movement so heavily. Others in the community will surely benefit from your sharing.

a lot of helpful stuff
Vic- I think I covered all of the points you mentioned. If you get a chance to look at it again I'd appreciate any red-flags you may throw up in the air for me. As you said, just trying to help others understand based on my somewhat limited understanding.

Well,I do see one big one in this sentence: "Are you a commercial user planning to create material compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game? Go to The CUP Process."

"Commercial" should be "non-commercial."

Emphasis mine. If the product has a PFRPG Compatible logo on it, it is suppose to have an OGL with atleast those lines. Atleast, if I am reading the license correctly. IANAL.

Correction made. Thanks for catching that unfortunate typo!
