Q: Usage of Kingmaker artwork (buildings & maps)?

[3ntf4k3d]

Hello folks!

Not sure if I am in the right forums, but I have a quesion regarding the OGL and usage of kingmaker artwork.

My friend is currently working on a program to aid my group with the kingdom rounds between our adventure sessions. Pretty much like the Excel sheets that can be found in the forums, but based on Java. The program is non-commercial, but he might want to use it in his portfolio to demonstrate his skills with Java.

Now the question is whether he is allowed by OGL to use kingmaker artwork like the building pictures or the Brevoy map presented in the players guide. I have seen some Excel sheets that have added pictures of the building, but from our understanding (we are non-native english speakers), the OGL does not apply to artworks and thus my friend would require a special permission from Paizo - is that correct?

Thanks in advance,
Markus

You are correct; the art is under Paizo copyright.

Thanks for the input.

Actually, coincidentally, I just learned the old news from this thread that the building art is included in the Community Use Package. So, still not entirely a free-for-all, but for your purposes it sounds like it should be fine.

Oh, that's neat.
