PF RPG and 3rd party support


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Liberty's Edge

I really liked some of the work that both Green Ronin & Fantasy Flight Games put out for 3.5. Is there any word whether either of these companies are planning support for PF RPG? I'd love to see the Midnight and Freeport settings get converted.

Along the same lines, could PF RPG be made into an computer/console RPG along the lines of Neverwinter Nights or Dragon Age?

One can hope, right?

Isn't FFG doing the WFRP thing now?

Emphatically not, computer games are not allowed by the OGL. You could see a Golarion game, but not a Golarion game with the D&D ruleset.

Yes, I believe they are. And Green Ronin is doing True 20 and Dragon Age PnP RPG so I'm sure they both have their hands full with their own projects. I was just hoping.

I noticed FFG had significantly marked down a lot of the Midnight material, so I was curious if they were going to move over to 4e or just trying to get rid of stock. I had heard something to the effect that the 4e GSL license wouldn't allow publishers to provide products for both 4e & 3.5 but I wasn't sure how much truth there was in that.

In any case, their material was good and I'm sorry to see it come to a possible end.

I did not know that about the OGL. That's too bad, but understandable I suppose.

Yes they are, it specifically states that transferring the open content to a computer language is covered under the licenses definition of Derivative Materials. This is the *only* place that computers are mentioned by the OGL at all.

Paizo however, is somewhat more restrictive than Hasbro was, and only allows non commercial entities to use its stuff. (Unless they declared pathfinder core rules to be open game content somewhere).

Edit: IANAL of course. This is not legal advice blah blah blah.
