Hey guys, a few questions about creating a non-standard "Product"

[sky7]

Apologies for the double post, I posted this in the wrong section last time (PF General Discussion). Sorry about that.

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 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. And if the setting & wiki becomes popular, I want to own the rights to the setting for future commercial use.

Basically, its a setting that you can "plug in" the classes/monsters of Pathfinder or other game systems to, but stands completely on its own as a fantasy world without it.

The thing is, I don't know what the legalities are for what I am allowed to reference on the Wiki. Can I provide direct links to the PRD for different monsters that might appear in a region, so that people can easily access the statblocks? Ideally, the pages would have something like this at the bottom:

"If you are playing Pathfinder, here are some Monsters that you could put in this region:"
Monster 1 (link to prd stats)
Monster 2 (link to prd stats)

Is the Pathfinder Compatibility License what I need? Or something else.
Also, If someone is familiar with the different Creative Commons licenses, please advise me as to which one would make the most sense given the information above.

Just desisgnate in your product identity section what is not open game content. Proper names, story lines, dialogues, art, etc, is generally the norm. This way your Region of Ice, your God of Thunder, your Queen of Leather, your War Between Two Nations, etc, are protected, but this leaves the mechanics open.

Some groups include the mechanics in their product identity. I think Legendary Games does it.

You can link to the PDR or d20SRD, no problem. Those contain just the mechanics and are open content. I do not think you'll have to mention them in your license since you only provide a link and do not host the content itself.
