Posting this here since the Community Use forum seems a bit vacant:
So I would like to create a free to use interactive map of the Inner Sea Region that would allow GMs to more easily navigate it. There are a couple out there that I find to be clunky and not very useful, and I have ideas on how I could make something more useful.
I just read through the Community Use policy but am a bit still unclear on if this would be allowed. To be clear, here's what I would like to do, and which published assets I would like to use:
1. A map of the Inner Sea Region with clickable pins for each country/region [utilizing published Paizo map].
2. Clicking a pin would zoom into a country/region map (say Andoran for example) which would include pins for each settlement location and places of interest [utilizing published map of Andoran].
3. Clicking a settlement pin would zoom into a location map (say Almas for example) which would include pins for locations and places of interest (taverns, shops, etc.) [utilizing published map of Almas].
4. Clicking a location pin could bring up information of that location, whether uniquely created or based on a published location.
Is this in any way allowed through the Community Use Policy? Would it make a difference if I made my own versions of these maps? Am I allowed to reference locations found in materials like "Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Andoran - Birthplace of Freedom," and build on them?
Thanks for helping.
