Need a little Clairifacation on using Pathfinder rules to publish in non Pathfinder World Setting

I enjoy the Pathfinder take on the 3.5 rules and would like to use its rules (Classes etc) as the core for my world Setting. I plan on doing several adventures (Having a minium of 2 already in the works)

Can anyone offer a bit of clairity on this?

Thanks

Your question is not clear enough

[Grundvarg]

ok I need to know if I can design my own world setting using Pathfinder rules - ie - the way they present the Character classes, frat progression etc.

I want to produce Adventures set in my own World Setting using the Pathfinder Core Rules

Is there any stipulation that an adventure using Pathfinder rules has to be set in thier setting

If want to publish them I think you'll find your answers here:
Pathfinder Compatibility Licence

It's actually exactly the opposite--you cannot set your material in the Golarion campaign setting without express permission from Paizo. If you simply want to use the Pathfinder RPG mechanics, then you use the Open Game License and you are good to go.

Basically, if it is here:

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document

You can use it so long as you properly utilize the Open Game License and cite the Open Game Content.

I thought that is the way it was - Really appreciate the help.

...except that the OGL prevents you from indicating compatibility using others' trademarks.

Which is why you want to use the Pathfinder RPG Compatibility License *in addition* to the OGL—so you can actually tell people it's for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
