EDIT: I found the answer regarding Google AdSense (banner ads)
but still can't find answers to my other questions


EDIT: Also, am I allowed to include material from the Adventures on my website? Like "Rise of the Runelords"


Hello, I'm new to Pathfinder. (I found out about it like 2 years ago, but never played. And recently decided to try again)

I've seen a few database type websites that have all of the book's combined information, and I'm working on my own version. One that's more standard/updated for programming/designing in 2019. I don't know if these websites look like they fell straight out of 1995 because the creators are only web developers and not also programmers/designers (not judging) - or if it's because the Community Use Policy prevents them from creating amazing websites

So far, I'm only using images that I've found on Google for Pathfinder (excluding Pathfinder Kingmaker stuff, because I think that's their original artwork) and I'm using the Fan Site Kit art from THIS website

But there is some really great art in the book, and I don't know if I'm allowed to use that. For Example: on the Bestiary homepage, I'd love to just snap a photo from the book's I've purchased/images from the Free PDFs and use that as a header image for that page. Like "RAWRR I'm a monster and this is the Bestiary page!" Instead of just "text wall incoming, borrrinnggg"

NOTE: I do have the copyright notice at the footer of my website (The thing that says I'm not allowed to charge, and all artworks belong to Paizo/Pathfinder, etc). I made sure it was noticeable.
BUT - am I allowed to use Google Adsense on my website?


Thanks for that!

So I'm wondering then, after reading most of that, how are the Hero Lab creators able to charge for their program? Is it because it's a separate program and not a website?


Hello! I am totally new to Pathfinder and I am already hooked!
(I also don't know where to put this thread, since I'm also new to this forum! Feel free to move it, if its in the wrong section)

I started making an offline website to help me GM my first game.
In the future, I would like to publish the website so that others can use it, but I was wondering if I'm even allowed to do that?

Would it violate some sort of copyright laws?

I noticed there is a program called Hero Lab that people can download for free, or pay ~$30 for a better version of the program. It's my understanding that this program has ALL of the information from the Paizo Pathfinder series (as well as some other games).

I have purchased the Core Rulebook and Rise of the Runelords before I found this website: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/
which has ALL of the information for free online. (Although, I'm one of those people that really just loves hardback books, so I didn't mind paying for it)

So my question is, am I allowed to use this information on my website, much like Hero Lab has done with their program? I tried to email Support, but I didn't receive a response.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
