As it says in the title.... Can an individual doing POD through LuLu or another place be allowed to license the Pathfinder rules?
I've got a finished manuscript going through layout right now, but I am not a publishing company and I'd like to know if I do this through Lulu if I'll be allowed to license the rules?
Of course the next best thing would be for a gaming company to snap up my work, but that is neither here nor there.

The Pathfinder rules, as far as I know, are OGL so anyone can license it. You just have to follow the OGL rules.

You should check out the Pathfinder Compatibility License. It should be able to answer your questions, especially if you look at the FAQ.

Thanks, Lisa. I remember checking the faq earlier and not seeing my answer, but upon reinspection (and some reading between lines) I believe I found my answer, i.e. that I could indeed do so.
The thing that threw me off was an offer from Paizo, only to gaming companies, to enter into a confidentiality agreement to see the full rules before they are published in August. It would be nice if individuals who filled out licensing applications could also sign this agreement, but alas, I am still not certain of that one.
Thanks again.
