I hope this explains why none of the PCs from AoA are there and that the Citadel is abandoned again.

As someone who ran AoA to completion I vastly dislike the choice of where the troop demo is occurring because it breaks canon for probably every single group that has played the AP. I feel that for almost any group that finished the AP there is at least one level 20 PC at the Citadel and probably more. Just one of them solos both armies put together.

To be honest this is all way too confusing. I was writing an adventure based around the Brainchild, a non-ORC monster, and was planning on releasing it for free. Now I am not even sure if I can reference it (since it isn't ORC). If I can reference it I would need to wade through all this legalese to figure out how to reference it, what licenses to use and where I could release this adventure.

My solution is to just give up creating Pathfinder content and I feel I am not the only one.

How does this affect map remakes of adventures and adventure paths? The FCP states "You may not use artwork, including maps, that have not been published in the blog, although you may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps, provided that your interpretations don't look substantially similar to our materials."

What counts as substantially similar? Is a near 1:1 remake of a map with different assets and higher pixels per square such that it works better in VTTs allowed? What about making a compilation of those into a module so that others don't need to manually set up every map it just has all of them ready for them (barring things like monsters and treasure since that would be getting into rules stuff).

EDIT: Mark confirmed on Reddit that this exact thing is fair game.
