Just wondering (as my searches haven't come up with anything) is there an official channel to get the Pathfinder Compatible logo - hopefully as a vector image? Surely publishers don't just grab the highest resolution one from Google images...

Hmmm... so with all that out of the way - is there an official channel to get the Pathfinder Compatible logo?

Thanks gamer-printer!

Thanks everyone!

I think that's all been cleared up immensely. But I was just wondering, if I include text similar to the copyright jargon at the bottom of the Credits page (pg 3) of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, does that cover the legal-side of things? Basically, will everything be open apart from the setting mythos and stories etc?

Thanks!

So would something like this ok:

"The following classes from the Pathfinder PRD [link to http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/] can be used in the setting.

- Alchemist [link to http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/baseClasses/alchemist.html]
- Barbarian [link to http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/classes/barbarian.html#_barbarian]

...etc.

Then the new classes for the setting are as follows..."

?

Thanks for the replies!

And I agree that customers hate 'filler' that adds to page count - I was probably more concerned if it happened unintentionally. A horrible example being something like changing the Ninja's 'Ki' to 'Hatred' but leaving everything else the same. And would there be any issue with having a new class with a spell-list of names that reference the official spells?

I don't plan on doing a standalone gamebook. It's layout would be something along the lines of:

- Introduction to World and Setting (my own work that I don't want to be OGL)
- Creating a Character (classes etc) (OGL)
- New Skills/Feats/Spells (OGL)
- Rule modifications and Game Master guide (OGL)
- NPCs and Bestiary (OGL)
- Sample Adventure (OGL)

It'd be great if there was some sort of Pathfinder World Builder template out there that would give a framework to work within - that included the legal documentation necessary should you be doing things like creating new classes - but that's in a perfect world. I suppose the next best thing would be to see how others have done it - any recommendations that closely match my layout plan would be very welcome!

I plan on creating a new campaign setting of my own devising, then releasing it for sale under the OGL and using the Pathfinder Compatible logo. Assuming that some classes, such as the Fighter, already fit perfectly – does it violate any copyrights if my section describing them is barely modified from the entry here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/classes/fighter.html#_fighter ?
