Implimenting the Monsterhandbook into an app? Licensing?


Licensed Products General Discussion


Hello!

Me and a friend plan on creating an app for pathfinder and would like to impliment the Monsterhandbook as a tool of creating battles and other things a game master may need.

The question is: Are we allowed to use the monsters of the Pathfinder Monsterhandbook? Do we need to contact someone and ask permission?
We just don't want to have any problems due to licensing.

Our goal is for the app to be a paid app, but the price will be low. More as a small contribute to all the work.

I've had a poke around but can't seem to find anything useful.

It would be great to have a reply! Thank you!

Linchen, ordinarily I would point you to the Pathfinder Compatibility License, as that allows for commercial products ("for profit") with the Pathfinder ruleset. However, because you are looking at a software product, not a print or e-book, the terms of the license do not apply. If you wish to seek to create the app, you should contact licensing@paizo.com to answer any questions you might have.
