Hi Paizo,

When I opened up my subscription this month, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there weren't any packing peanuts. I think it is great that you've moved away from them. However, I did notice that you choose to replace them with Uline-branded air pockets, and this kind of made me pause.

Paizo's corporate values are so highly in line with various causes, most notably the LGTBQ+ community, which you have welcomed and even ingrained into your lore. Hence my disappointment to see Uline-branded products.

Part of why I like supporting Paizo is that they have taken an important stand on certain issues, and knowing what Uline management espouses privately, as citizens, and then publicly on letters they post on their website, gives me pause. I would hope that Paizo considers joining other companies in sourcing their packing materials elsewhere.

Hi all,

As part of a project that is OGL/CUP compliant, can you use the descriptive text for monsters/NPCs from from the bestiaries/Adventures/APs/GMG?

Reading the product identity statement I don't believe that this text seems to necessarily fall under that, excluding, say, the description of a Red Mantis Assassin NPC which would clearly not fall under OGL but could fall under community use.

Specifically, I'm asking if it is acceptable to include (using arbiter as an example) the: "These spherical inevitables..." along with the stat block.

Thanks for the help!

Hi All,

I recently ran 2-08 as a GM for a second time and have an issue with the online reporting. The first time I ran it I applied the credit against one of my characters. This second time, I didn't apply it against any character since it is a non-repeatable. Per the organized play guide, table credit and achievement points are earned, but not a new chronicle:

"GMs earn GM credits, Achievement Points, and a Chronicle the first time they GM an adventure. Any subsequent GM sessions earn GM credits and AcP, unless the adventure has the Repeatable Tag. "

On my session report, however, there are no achievement points awarded and an annotation: "Player has already run scenario at session # 16 of event #.... on December 20, 2020."

That session was the first time I ran 2-08 and I did apply it to my -2001 character. This session I did not put in a PC number and all of the players in the second session were new to me/never reported by me and definitely not in session #16.

I asked on the OPO discord and they suggested reaching out here. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Happy New Year!

Hi all,

I’m working to create a demo world for a VTT based off of Torment and Legacy. The PF2e conversion is non-commercial and everything so far complied with the CUP and OGL. We would like to offer the scenario as a pre-made module for people to try out PF2e utilizing only CC0 material as well as what is contained within the free Torment and Legacy PDF or otherwise provided by Paizo for community use.

I don’t know if this is permissible because I think that the story would be Paizo IP, but since it is offered for free it is a bit of a grey area. All the BTT would do is take the package from PDF form and turn it into a module with appropriate disclaimers regarding the CUP and OGL.

As a side note I did email licensing@paizo.com about this but with COVID-19 slowing things down I have no idea if or when I’ll get a reply and was hoping someone on the forums might have run into something like this (or similar) with the Paizo free scenarios.

Thank you!
