sunmaster's page

Thank you to both of you for your answers.

@Paizo: Make special pages about the Pathfinder products where the information with the downloadable material can be found. Don't let the
fans search on info in scattered places like a blog.

Dear Paizo team,

In Pathfinder #2 on page 63 in the box "A view of Magnimar" the reader is sent to paizo.com/pathfinder where he should find downloadable material - maps and so on -.

But I cannot find this material. I looked at the mentioned page but there are only the links to the products. I looked at the descriptions on the products but there is also no download link. Then I read through the various blocks at the left and right broder of the page: There are only links to actual and coming products or to the forum.

Where, please, can I find the downloadable material? (Is it only visible for subscribers? In this case this question is meaningless as I get my Pathfinders from the second hand corner of my FLGS.)

Thank you
regards
sunmaster

Joshua,

May I get knowledge of what the result of these discussion(s) will be?

Because it burns under my nails to also implement electronic versions
of Pathfinder - because I think that the future of pen&paper roleplaying games are in the virtual space -.

I have ideas such as:

Pathfinder electronic miniatures - for free use for everyone - (made with Blender and PovRay)
Pathfinder (open-source) mobile database(something like your rulebook in your mobile phone)
Pathfinder (open-source) Rogue-like (a geeky game for a geeky system)

and some more.

But I don't know yet, what would be permitted.

Thank you anyway, for your answer.

The people in this thread just went along and created a wiki
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/general/pat hfinderWiki

And I have the feeling that they didn't asked for permission.
If they don't need permission then I don't need permission for my
dreamed of game in Nethack style based on the rules of Pathfinder.

So, I want to ask again: Can we just copy and paste the contents of Pathfinder into a wiki? ( I am very sure that there is no permission
for something like that. My question is more like : What is permitted?)

I know what drives the guys and gals in the above linked thread:
A D&D Insider like site which you can access from all kinds of devices
(PCs/Laptops, mobile phones, consoles(I think they can access web-pages on the Internet)) and which helps you with all kind of managing your characters and rules and campaign-data.
And I am one of the many, many people who wants to implement something like that.

But there are rules and one of them is asking for permission. Or not?

Hi there,

Do you have the permission to do all these "copying" of the
contents into your wiki.

After the Pathfinder RPG was released for download I asked
the people from Paizo for permission
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderR PG/general/aRequestForPermissionFromPaizo

but never got one answer.

You just went along and created a wiki where you put in stuff which is
in the magazines of Pathfinder.

I am just feeling something like "What the heck, if you don't have
to ask for permission why don't go and implement a game - Nethack style -with the rules of Pathfinder?"
That would be cool and fun but I don't really know if it is allowed!?

Anyway, have fun with your wiki
:-(

Hi,

I humbly request the permission of Paizo to build up a wiki for
Pathfinder RPG.

My development plan - to make my humble support of PFRPG - is:

- to make a so called self-hosted wikimedia installation
( to explain this a bit for the not technically versed people here:
Self-hosted means that you get one file - a zip archive - which you
unzip in some folder, where you then start a script which starts
all necessary programs - called services - to give you a "personal"
wikimedia - this is the "program" which powers Wikipedia )

- to bring all the data from the Alpha1 of PFRPG into this wiki

- to load up this wiki archive to a place where a person
can take and host-speak:run it on a netwide accessible web-server-
the wiki

1) Which data from the PFRPG can I put into this wiki if I am allowed to do so?
2) Which data from the PFRPG must not put into the wiki?

sunmaster

Thank you Paizo for the Pathfinder

After having to make a stop to my gamemastering and gaming for the last several years I saw a new chance to begin with roleplaying using the coming 4E with the Living FR campaign.
But the development (and also the marketing) of 4E let me be questioning if 4E is really for me.

Now with PFRPG I found my real "home" for my new gaming life:
- A new RPG which gets in the coming months and years new material in contrast to 3.5E
- An _open_ RPG where the fans can make valuable inputs even in the design phase
(This _open_ is very important for me as I have the opinion that only open RPGs can make it into the future because after gaming for many years the most players and GMs have build their own way of gaming and only open RPGs fully support this by giving them the chance to "publish"
their own material)
- A new RPG with a very good setting
- And now I read that even a Living campaign is coming. This gets better and better every day.

(Even if it is not listed right of my account name I am a buyer of Pathfinder and Gamemastery - I get them from my local gaming shop. I went and bought the first two modules of RotR after downloading the PFRPG).
