I would like to create an original world, with original artwork, concepts, story, etc (I'm sure you guys have heard this a thousand times)- but not for any kind of direct profit. Instead, I want to put it all on a massive wiki for anyone to use - assuming its actually good, of course.
I want it to be compatible with Pathfinder, as well as other systems. However, I would like to retain the rights to the content I create, so that nobody could hijack the artwork/story/setting for their own product without receiving permission from me. I'm guessing this requires that I obtain a Pathfinder Compatibility License?
Additionally, a few questions for anyone who knows about this sort of thing:
1. On a wiki page, am I allowed to link directly to the PRD/d20pfsrd for monsters, items, or anything for that matter? For example, at the bottom of a page it might say:
"Here are a list of Pathfinder Monsters that may appear in this region:"
Monster 1 (link to prd stats)
Monster 2 (link to prd stats)
2. Similarly, lets say I have a page for an NPC named Skreeb. Skreeb is a wandering Kobold merchant. At the bottom of his wiki page, it would look like this:
"If you are playing Pathfinder, here are some items Skreeb might have:"
Item 1
Item 2
"If you are playing D&D, here are some items Skreeb might have:"
Item 1
Item 2
My question is, is it legal to mention items/monsters/etc in this way for systems that are NOT OGL? Remember, this isn't being sold as a product, and the items/monsters aren't actually tied to the setting, its just additional info that players of each system could use to *incorporate* the setting into their games.
Thanks :)
